would this scope be a good choice for 300+ yards

As a few others have stated, for it being a low fixed power scope it is on the "weak side" of pin point accuracy for 300+ yards. But as a person who has 2 of them mounted on AR's and shooting 55gr bullets all the time, it does work for 300 yrds without the need of using the BDC and I am able to hit a 12 inch target 8 out of 10 times. Know your ammo and if your eye sight is "ok" you should be fine. Don't be discouraged from buying this scope, it is a great scope with crystal clear field of view.

Yes. You can hit a target at 300+ yards with iron sights so this scope is sufficient.

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. Retired Military here....Would have loved to have had this on my AR's while in service!

Yes it would, as long as you use the NIKON/SPOTON software and zero your rifle correctly for the type of bullet you will be using. I use the scope on an AK47 and zero the rifle at 40yards and then I can hit a man size target at 500 yards 8 out of 10 times.

Great scope out to 250 yards any further you may need 3 x 9 x 50. That 22-250 is a flat shooter. Good luck.

Yes it will work your point of impact at 300 yards will be similar to your point of impact at 25 yards this is why you are supposed to zero this sight with a certain sized silhouette target at 25 yards search m4 25 yard zero target

I've done a lot of shooting with mine..worked great for 100 yards and less but went with higher power scope for more distance shooting.

Good question. In my opinion the optics are certainly up to the task. The problem is that the scope is small and is prone to being bumped or moved inadvertently when being used to sight in a rifle at longer ranges. I have used mine up to 100 yards and it can be a bit frustrating to use as any disturbance of the scope pulls it off the target. I prefer to use a larger scope on a camera tripod for longer range work. This scope is excellent for small bore rifle and pistol shooting up to 50 yards. Beyond that it just isn't steady enough in my view.

I Can see 5.56 and .308 at 300 yardd but I suggest using dirty bird or similar targets for best visibility at this range.

This scope will go 300 yards all day long. Just know your bullet drop and adjust for it.

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.

The scope adjust out to a 1000 meters which is 1093.6 Yards. Whether you can shoot that far depends on your cartridge. I have a 30.06 with a 24 inch barrel and so it is possible to shoot out to a 1000 Yards but I have not tried it yet. Effective range for a 30.06 is probably 600 Yards so I would say the scope is capable to auto range out further than a realistic range of a 30.06 cartridge. I have seen a 30.06 hit a 1000 yards, 18 inch target and I am told the ft/lbs force at that distance is about 640 lbs.

probably not. its on a lower end range price for a scope. those 30 caliber rounds put out a lotta kick. this scope has been used on .22 and .223 rifles but not extensively. the scope says shock proof, but I am not sure on how much shock it can really take.

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.

We used it for 9mm and 45 up close. It would probably be fine if you were 300 yards plus. Here's the issue. Once you hit the target it has the tendency to flip sideways and it is exceeding difficult to hit the edge that is now facing you. A hanging gong would be a much better option.

It is not a scout scope, so the eye relief is not set up to be mounted too far forward. If you can mount it on the receiver then I think it is a good overall scope. The 7X would work for me at the range of a .308 but if you are stretching your shots out further than 500 yds with any regularity I would consider a more powerful scope.

I haven't tried 300 yd, but it was very clear at 100 yds. I'm shooting some old guns through open sights so 300 would be a stretch. I'm pretty sure I remember not being at full power at 100 so 300 should be acheiveable. I felt it worked really well, we were able to see our "hits" clearly and we had small targets. The tripod is nice as well, heavy and feels well made.

I think this scope would be ideal for that rifle but I would go with a higher 3x9 power for that application. At 100 yrds I find myself wanting a little more magnification than the 2x7 I bought. If you have old eyes, even more so.

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.

Yes, it's actually a really good scope. I would say no if you're going to use it for really long distances though.
