I'm looking at this for target shooting and maybe for glassing hill sides for deer. does anyone use this to see 556/223 holes at 300 plus yards? Can

I shoot my .223 at 300 yards. However, I find the scope unusable at that range with standard black/white targets. With 'splatter' targets the scope works marginally depending on the weather; in other words, the heat on hot days can cause enough distortion to prevent accurate identification of where the round hit the target. Even on moderate temperature days you are asking a lot from this scope (at 250 + yards) with a .223 round unless you have the eyes of a 15 year old. :)

My scope works fine. Anybody that wants to shoot further than a few hundred yards with a .223 should maybe get a more powerful rifle and scope.

Depends. If you're shooting a large caliber and have a good contrasting target, then yes. I just did that last week at the range and with those targets that leave a colored area around the hole, I could see the .300 win mag mark at 300 yards. They are not Swarovski's but they are worth the money I spent on them for sure.

I can see the .223 holes from 100yds. Anything further becomes difficult for me. It will work with most red dots just get the right mounts.

I wouldn't recommend the scope for shots longer than 250 yards. this is definitely not for precision shooting, it's more so for hunting.

I have only used my Barska once where we shot over 100 rounds of 223 at 100 yards. There was no problem seeing the bullet holes, this scope for the price is a very good deal. I would recommend....

I don't hunt but I use mine for target archery. If you range on the animal first then set your site, you should be good.

I have this on my AR15. I have mine sighted in at 75 yards. I don't have the room to go back any farther than 100 yards. I love it at 75 I could of done 100 but I don't do much with it except target shoot. Hope this helps!

I have it on a 22-250 and it seem to work well. O will be at 250 for shooting at about 400 yds. I will use the mill dot for range adjustment.

I'm shooting at a 100 yard outdoor range, so it's not a problem for me at that distance. Can't vouch for beyond that. Most shooters I know use a scope for beyond 100 yards, and a red-dot like Lucid's HD7 for CQC and less than 100 yard engagements.

That all depends on the shooter and the round. I believe the 300 BLK has an effective range of 600 yards or so. It's a great scope that's for sure. Silver dollar groups at 100 yards but I'm not a great shooter either.

Image clarity is good out to about 150 but 300 would be questionable. I use it for deer hunting out to about 100-120 with good success.

You will have no issues with this scope with what you're trying to do. I use it for seeing the holes of 223/556 @ 100 yrds, no splatter. This scope is the real deal for that price.

Not 100% what it is but, being a shorter range optic it really doesn't come into play. I mounted this scope on my Mosin in a scout style, and just got two deer this last weekend at about 70 yards. It works just fine for its purposes.

This range finder works well for hunting. It is quite accurate up to 300 yards for elk and moose and up to 225 yards for antelope and deer.

I mounted mine and zeroed it within 4-5 inches of bullseye. Ran over 50 rounds and it still held target. I might be wrong, but this site is good for 50 yards. After that, it would be best to use a scope.

I shoot 8 inch steel with the P-223 on a 16 inch Bushmaster Patrolman carbine at 300 yards easily...Haven't tried it further than that yet. Get the "Spot On" software for your phone as it works very well. You can also get repeatable results dialing in your elevation and just using crosshairs instead of the software.
