    Default 300 Blackout Optic suggestions

    Did a quick search and found nothing helpful....

    About to finish a 16" blackout rifle build. Looking for a variable power scope in the $300 +/- range. 1-4x, 1-6x, or maybe 2-7x. No 3-9x. That's just unnecessary for a BLK and I'd prefer the lower magnification. I don't want something with a very busy reticle. Simple is better. Dont want a red dot or reflex or any of that bs. All reasonable suggestions welcome.

    I know you said no 3x9 but the one I have in the tp is a jam up optic for the 300 blk and a good price with the mount and cover

    Primary arms 1-4 with the lit reticle. I have one on mine and it rocks. PA14.

    I have a VX-3 1.5-5x20 Leupold (1") with the standard reticle and a Vortex 1-6x24 Strike Eagle (30MM) with their illuminated horseshoe reticle I've been thinking about putting in the TP as I change some things around.

    Both could be with or without respective mounts.

    Just let me know if you have any interest.

    1.5-6x42 Nikon monarch gold with a #4 reticle if u can find one. 30mm tube. I have one on my Marlin 30-30 and it’s awesome.

    That Monarch would be pretty close to their M-300 scope. I think they may be same magnification, etc. They are nice, but not sure if you are going to find one for $300 though. Cheaper option would be their P-300 scope which would be like the Prostaff line.

    Yeah I don't like those bdc reticles with 14 different stata and holdover points. Thanks though.

    Check out the 'Other Options" line beneath this posting. There are some VX-2 and VX-III's for good prices if you want to go that route...

    I need to reconsider what I'm going to do with my VX-3 now that I realized I was thinking it was a VX-1, as I explained. I'll let you know soon, but don't wait on me, for sure.
