I am looking for a scope that will let me see .223 holes at 250+ yards. I have a 20 x 40 scope now that's not enough. Will this fit my need?

I have not tested this, but probably not, this is a general purpose scope and a little fuzzy at that granularity

It can depend on the targets your using, all black tagets the holes are not very visible for any scope, use bright colored tagets and you should be able to see them with your bushnell trophy at 250 yrds

Should not be a problem. I was shooting from 200+ using shoot-n-c targets. Could see hits very clearly.

I concur with the other comments regarding the best use for this scope is a 223/5.56 rifle. The vortex viper 6.5-20x50 PA scope would be a better choice for your 270.

Have not sighted in using this scope. Just used it to check out land. I would say, though @ 100 yards it would be ok. Hoping to use it this weekend or next to sight @ 100 & 200 yds.

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. :)

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 have mine mounted on a S&W; M&P; 15-22 and it works great for that caliber. A 308 may be a bit much for this scope but it will work. I have a Millett 4-16X50 mounted on my 308 for those long range shots.

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.

The scope will function just fine. It is designed around a .223/5.56 55 gr bullet at 3240 fps. You will probably be quite accurate using it on the 22-250 with the 55 gr. projectile. Check out Nikon's Spot On Ballistic Program to see how your ammo will work with this scope. Using the 22-250 should let you dial out to 600 yards with excellent accuracy as long as the wind isn't blowing to hard.

I shoot a 308 out to 200 yards and I can see the holes pretty clearly. It takes a minute or two for your eyes to adjust, after that you can see the holes clearly, both in black and white portions of the target.

Not really, you could certainly sight in in at a specified range but this scope has a bullet drop compensator specifically for the .223 / 5.56 AT type round. Anything other than your initial sight in would be guesswork.

Very suitable for that type of rifle. Anything between 25-200 yards. I use it on a FN SCAR 17S. Light weight, great optics. Worth the price.

If you want to shoot over 100 yard. This is not the right one. spend some more money for Nikon scope. The scope you've asked is hard for to find target. I owned one but I regret for to buy it and left it there for awhile not sight in. That's why I can't return. Money is matter with scope the more you pay the best you'll get. And remember your is .308 this the one for yours.

I've only used it up to 50 yards. I can perfectly see the bullet holes perfectly. Try using some of those birchwood shoot n see targets. I used it for my ak74 which makes holes about the size of a .22. My guess is that you'll be ok if you use shoot n see targets

Although I don't have a Colt .308 I would say yes. This scope is rock solid on its mounts and has held zero on my .223 for well over a 1000 rds. I have it doped to where I'm hitting pop cans from 100 yds even though red dots are typically to be used for closer range. At 50 yds, I take out golf balls. I'd say go for it.

I have this installed on my 9mm carbine. With that caliber I haven't shot much over 75 yards. I'm quite positive this scope should be good for 150 yards if not farther. Nothing but good things to say about this scope.

I would recommend this scope. I use it on a .308 and it holds under a 1 inch group at 100. I've also shot out past 400 and had equally accurate results. The reticle is very crisp and the magnification covers a good range.

It totally depends on you starting point. This scope has three lines so as an example, start at 10 yards you would have 10,20,30 or 20,30,40. Its a very good scope.
