Extra high should work well. Just out of curiosity is this an AR 15? If so why so much scope?

 

300 Winchester magnum AR by Falkor defense just wanna beable to reach out and touch steel and have the magnification power to see

 

Well that answers it, sweet stick

 

How far do you plan on shooting?

 

I bet when done he'll be able to pluck a man off a buffalo at 1,000yds

 

I would go with a scope mount not rings. A Larue LT-120 will do the job perfectly. There are also other great mounts made by Spur, Bobro, or ADM. JMO

 

I did some looking found a website that's is nothing but Nightforce I'm gonna give them a call and get a solid 1 piece scope mount

 

$5000 rifle and $2000 in scope..... some serious steel shooting there. Nice setup.

Cool setup.

 

Yea something like that I'm actually looking like the F1 that is on the first focal plane

 

I didnt read all of the replies but I have done a fair bit of "reaching out and touching",shooting...for fun,and for work.....I and the Gov. oufit I was employed by used noting but Nightforce,and no less than a 50 mil reticle

 

This is the scope I'm gonna go with but in MOA

This is the scope I'm gonna go with but in MOA

There ya go,wise choice.One of the most integral parts of long range shooting is high quality optics,you cant hit what you cant see

 

Nice rifle! Great scope choice. Not sure about 1000yd accuracy on an Ar platform but who knows. I'm a savage bolt guy myself. 308palma and 338lapua. Nightforce all the way!! Glwb.

 

I think it will be pretty accurate. I found a guy that bought one at the time he only shot it out to 500 yards and said was shooting a 6" steel plate like a chip shot. I shot it just in the dirt bank without a scope just itching to shoot it. I ended up having to send the rifle back for warranty and have the chamber re polished. When shooting it the bolt was grabby and short stroking and not picking up a round. They were class A people to work with there where kinda like calling Joe at AE you talk to the maker, gunsmiths and the guys in the video. But I think this rifle is gonna be a shooter

 

Look what came in today :grin::grin:

 

Very nice choice man. Best optics made!

 

If you're going to shoot enough to worry about the price difference, reload or get someone to. But yeah, $5.00 a shot sucks!

 

I didn't mean for that to sound Smartazz if you took it that way.

 

Even reloading it's higher than shooting a 300 but shooting a 300 isn't that much more than shooting my 308 I'd love a 338L but really don't need it right now the range I shoot at is only 1300yrds

 

 

I have w reloading bench but furthest shot on a deer around here is about 500 yards and max is about 800yards

 

That looks good! Rings high enough?
Yeah, 338 brass is crazy. You shure don't leave it lay.

 

Fits perfect to me the look I'm looking for have maybe a 1/4" if I'm lucky on the bell

 

If you haven't figured it out , DE_Bowfisher is my son but got the .300 to range today, with no bipod and just shooting off sandbags once got it sighted in this is best 5 shot group at 100yds that I shot with it,actually my first 5 shots after my son got it sighted in,with the Nightforce scope and actually had to turn power down from 25 to about 15 power when did it:

But the gun will shoot MOA-sub MOA all day long and "clanging" steel at 300yds was a chip shot and able to do that rapid fire with ease.....

Very impressed with what my youngin' put together and spent a good Fathers Day morning at the range with my son.......

 

Good group. Happy fathers day.
