| Hi, guys. Need your help finding a scope for my father-in-law for his Remington 700 in .300 Win Mag. He's using it for elk hunting in the mountains in Colorado this winter and wants something with some type of BDC. I'd prefer turrets like the Vortex Razor HD I've got. He's got a Nikon on one of his AR-15s with a BDC reticle and I'm not really sold on it. Of course, he already has a good laser rangefinder. Not nearly as important, but the rifle is satin stainless and wouldn't mind keeping the scope the same appearance. Thanks in advance. I haven't had much luck finding anything online. |

I believe my son-in-law used a burris BDC on his .300. He ended up getting rid of it because the reticle was too busy. You don't always have much time, especially if you happen to get in timber country - the simpler the reticle the better.
With the .300 to those ranges sight the thing it about 3" high at 100. It will max out at bout 3.5" high somewhere around 150 IIRC, and be about 3.5" low at around 300 - 350. So basically out to 350 yards put the crosshairs in the middle of the rib cage and you have a dead elk. Kill zone is more than that 7" arc described by the bullet trajectory. My 0.02 |
