I'm using a leupold 1-4 and shoots great out to 200 yds. Have not tried any farther.

I'm a fan of keeping most ar's as light as possible. I have the Nikon Omega on my 450 due to the ballistic match. However, For light-weight and Made in the USA quality, you can't beat a Leupold 2-7x scopes. Some of them weigh-in at about 8oz., Others at about 10oz. Not bad for scopes that'll work for 30ft. to 400yrds.

I have the Weaver Extreme Classic in 2.5-10X50 w/ lighted dot. It works great! Nice optics and Natchez has a nice price. I just use Nikon Spot On app to set up the ballistic chart. Really happy with this setup.

I bought a Vortex PST with an illuminated retical for my 300 Blackout. Awesome scope. I ordered the first focal plane one and did not like it and exchanged for a SFP. The second focal plane scope works great and is much cheaper. :twisted:

Leupold VX-R 3-9 x 40 mm with the BDC and Firedot reticle. Highly recommended by local gunsmith and having fired it a few times, I am more than pleased with it.
