Just got my 300 blk done! Now I'm looking for a scope. I've got it narrowed between two.. I'm looking at the nikon p-300 blackout and the nikon p-223 3x9x40. What are your opinions on which would work best? I'll mainly be coyote and deer hunting no farther than 300 yards.
Thanks guys! |
| I'm using a Leupold 1-4x20 with a 16" CMMG barrel, mounted on a Bell Arms Defense lower. I plan on using it for hunting also. I have it zero'd at 75 yards, and have been able to hit /12" cover dots at 115yds. I am very pleased with this scope and will be putting more in my collection. |
| my buddy has one of these i got to play with, and now i'm just waiting for them to come back in stock. Great scope for the price. |

I have the Primary arms 1-6 ACSS on my 300BLK 8" pistol. This weekend after getting it 'near zero'd' at 100 yards (a 15 mph full wind blowing LtoR wasn't helping) I could pick off a coke bottle laying on its side at 100yds.
Going out to 500 yards and using the farthest left wind hold (wind had died down a bit) and 500 hold over my spotter estimated I missed the steel on my first shot by "less than 4-6 inches". With a bit of correction I was able to hit 50% of the time. So I felt good with my first trip to the range with this scope on my new 300BLK. A great combination. Scope is solid. The reticle is borderline fool proof. Glass is Very Good FOR THIS PRICE POINT. |
I thought the same thing, then I found the Nikon Prostaff 5 2.5-10x40mm. It has finger adjustable turrets. It was $200 shipped from Amazon.
It works perfectly for me, 10rds @ 100yds of 125 SST 
If you plan on shooting several different loads, the BDC will be useless, at least in my opinion. |

I have a couple of BDC reticled optics and wish I didn't as nice as glass as they are. Unless you're shooting a round that has flight characteristics that are compatible with the hash marks it's a PITA for me personally to try to compensate.
I have a PA 1x6 ACSS on a run and gun build and like it although the turrets are ungodly mushy on my sample. I keep thinking I should send it back for a look at by them but never seem to get around to it. But it's on a 556 that I shoot milspec ammo through so it matches up. For my 300BO I've just got a RDS on it for now, still trying to figure out glass. So I'll be interested in what you end up with. The tricky thing is I shoot both supers and subs so a dedicated 300BO reticle isn't in my future. Although the Leupold with the split reticle is intriguing. Hashes for super on one side, subs on the other. I love the tortoise and the hare on the reticle as well. But I'll likely just go with a standard mil/mil of some flavor. |
| Consider a mil/mil turret/reticle scope, so you are not locked into fixed BDC points that probably will not correspond to every type of round you chose to shoot. A good basic choice would be the Leupold Mark AR Mod 1 series, either the 1.5-4x20 or the 3-9x40mm. These have milrad turrets and correspondingly marked reticles that let you dial in any ammo. Much better than BDC reticles and 1/4" per click turrets. |
