Remington 700 AAC in .300 Blackout Scope?

[FHJ69]

OK Gents... I picked up one of these tacticool bolt guns the other day and since I'm new to the ballistics of the .300 BLK round (I like it because my suppressor mounts on it and it should be very quiet) I'm looking for scope recommendations and any other thoughts one might have on this.

Thanks!

I know nothing of the .300 Blackout, but, I have a Nikon Buckmaster Mil-Dot 6.5-18 scope on my SPS AAC-SD in .308.

The mount is a Leupold MKIV +15MOA and Leupold MKIV Medium Rings.

Rock solid and very accurate!!!!!


This rifle shoots groups the size of my 'pinky' nail @ 100 yards.

The Nikon M223 series is great for the price, and has Nikon quality.

My understanding that the max effective range for .300 BLK in hypersonic is roughly 800 yards while the sub sonic max effective range is 400 yard. But I've been known to be wrong before.

My 700 PSS in .308 has the 4.5x14.50 Leupold with mil dot and it's awesome... but that's too much scope for this thing I think. I was even looking at Vortex optics for some ideas.

Mach 5 or above. I looked it up.
They even have a chart-

And just so my post isn't completely useless-
I have a 3-9 on one and a red dot on the other. Both work well. You can push the round far enough, but it really isn't the best choice for distance shooting.

I have a 1.8-10x on mine, and it's about right for the range of the round. Do you plan on shooting mostly sub, super, or both?

 

[FHJ69]

Mostly Subsonic with how I feel now.

my 7SAUM wears a fixed 6x. i can't possibly imagine a .300BLK being used for something at greater distance than a 7SAUM.

Nikon Monarch 2-8x or Vortex PST 2.5-10x...

For $200(and the free shipping Midway was offering) I figured I would give it a shot.

The power is a tad high for your application but if you wanted an FFP scope, this is not a bad choice. mil/mil scope with FFP reticle. The glass on the BSA is exceptional for the price point.

Recommendation 1: $250 power 4-14x FFP

Although, personally I would want something that was in the 2-7x range like the weaver scope below:

Recommendation 2: $179 power 2-7x SFP

The weaver is exceptionally light at 10 oz.

Possible #3 $199 power 1.5-6x SFP

A little heavier at 1lb. However I really like the reticle on this one.

I put a Nikon M-223 2-8 Rapid Action Turret on my .300 BO while I waited for Nikon's P-300 BLK scope. I must say, it's pretty nice and quite reasonable $ wise. I have shot mainly supersonic rounds as that is about all I can find. The sub's I have found are going for 2X normal price. Even with supersonic loads a can helps significantly.
