LVPO or EOtech for 300blk pistol?

[5RWill]

Can't really decide. I've owned a T-1 before and found myself not using it that much, doesn't help that i have an astigmatism either, though that dot was huge. I would lean toward a 1-4 and call it a day but can't find a a proper reticle to use. There seems to be no 1-4 or 1-6 with 1/2 mil holds. So i keep coming back to an EOtech XPS2 the 300blk model with the BDC. It's for 300yds and in. Am i missing an LVPO that i'd be more interested in? The EOtech vudu 1-6 and PST Gen II 1-6 came to mind but i thought it might be too much optic for an 8.3" pistol.

If you are using a brace, get the leupold 1.5-5 ffp with the BLK reticle. Easy to hit steel with subs out to 300+

Man that scope would be perfect if it were 1x. Looking for true 1x also. I might ask the Leupold Rep if they have plans on a 1-5 mark 5.

Are they still making that particular leupold?

 

[deersniper]

It's discontinued. A lot of people didn't like it or thought it was too expensive

I love mine. It's not perfect. But plenty doable. It will never happen but a NX8 with the leupold blackout reticle would be a dream come true.

I had forgotten about the XTR II 1-5 which has 1/2 mil increments. I think i'm going to go with it, less Leupold releases a mark 5 1-5 soon.

Trijicon MRO. I run 300blk and really for the most part the MRO did a great job and was tough, little, and light.

I was looking at this today. Just dunno how i would like it with my astigmatism. I looked an EOtech today and it was fuzzy. Usable but fuzzy. Keep going back to the burris but wondering if i really need all that scope for such a small gun that's only intended use is 300yds and in.

I run a Leupold Mark 4 1.5-5x20 CM-R2 on my 10.5" 300blk SBR. I love that damn scope and can make consistent hits out to 500M with my setup.

Is that the 300blk specific reticle? 1.5x doesn't bother you indoors or shooting close?

I battle this myself. I currently have a K16i on a Noveske 300blk SBR and an Aimpoint on a franken 300blk sbr.

I've tried lots of combinations:
EoTech: I couldn't live with how fuzzy the Eotech was (I have a bad astigmatism also). The Aimpoint is actually better because I can turn the intensity down.

Primary Arms ACSS 1-6 300blk reticle: If i could get this reticle in a GOOD optic i would DIE. The thought of having this reticle in something as bright and wonderful as the K16i gives me palpitations. It's a really good ret for 300blk but the 1-6 is a sack of shit optically. (expected because it's 300 dollars and I am used to K16i/short dot/ etc)

EoTech with mag: never again. yuck.

Acog with their 300blk ret: I love ACOGs for a multitude of reasons but this one just didn't work for me the way I wanted it to. I would love if Primary Arms put their 300 ret into an acog the way they did with their 5.56 ret. I have that and it is superb.



I've finally settled that there doesn't seem to be a perfect answer for me on a 300.

Perfect would be the ACSS reticle or similar in a GOOD optic, or a dual red dot that can be independently zeroed, maybe.

No it's the 5.56 version but runs great. I love the CM-R2 reticle. Fast and accurate hits from 3' out to distance m. I have zero issues at close distances. complete opposite

A at close distances just put the big circle on your target.

Perfect would be the Leupold Reticle in a NX8. I would pay over 2000 for that.

I had not seen that reticle. You're right its really good...

 

[deersniper]

The reticle is not perfect but it serves it's purpose very well. With Hornady 125s zeroed dead on, I just hold the bottom of the plate with Remington subsonics and its hits all day long to at least 300 yards.

Seems they don't make that Mark 4 anymore. Though i keep coming back to the burris. Should be able to get it around $700. Illumination supposedly is very bright. Reticle has 1/2 Mil subtensions so i should be able to hold pretty much on point according to JBM. Hell i guess i'm going to get that one for both the 11.5" 5.56 and the 300blk.
