Im gettingintoo long range shooting and wondered if this scope and the mil-dot master card would go together? Is there a choice of reticle? Or bdc ?

I believe this is a Second Focal Plane scope which makes ranging only possible at one specific power. This Millet is a poor choice because of this. A Mildot Master Card is best used with a First Focal Plane scope. Some long range tactical courses INSIST that you show up with a FFP Mil/Mil scope. You simply can not do what is required by the course for drills on ranging, hold overs, and hold offs with out a FFP scope. Look at Falcon Menace scopes for $449. They are FFP and even better glass. Search. There is only one USA dealer for Falcon.

Amazon offers both scopes. Mine is the mil-dot. It has an adjustable brightness illuminated green and red reticle. I like the quick release on it. Worth the money.

This is an amazing red dot that performs well when paired with the .233 cartridge. However the question is how high do you want your optic. I have this model (with the cantilever mount) and the centerline ( middle of the lens) is 1 7/8 of an inch above a flat top AR. Depending on what stock you use. Personally since the optic and boreline will be closer I would go with the Strikefire 505 for your Ruger.

I bought both the M223 XR Mount and the 4-9 bdc 600 and installed them on my son-in-laws AR15.hey work great together. I also bought the P-22 and its respective mount and it also works great! All 4 were birthday presents for my son-in-law. We had a great day shooting both scopes in and we could not have been happier with the two combinations.

Yes you can....BDC reticle is set up for 556 but you can zero for anything you want. Of course if you zero it for your 308 you'll have to re zero it when you change rifles. It is an awesome scope btw.

If you are going to use the rifle for hunting the Tasco will do fine. If you plan to do long range shooting I would go with the Mil-Dot scope. Hope this helps..........

Yes, defiantly. I actually sent mine back though and got the UTG 30mm SWAT 3-12x44 Compact Mil-dot. Very nice optics. They also have a 4-16x44. The Barska was too big for just a 4-16...in my opinion.

I personally love the Burris Mac. No problem with it yet. Put about 1000 rounds through my .556. I like the fact that I can also use it as a red dot and switch to long distance. Also if battery dies you can still see the reticle. No need for back up sights. Hope this helps.

I gave theP-22 BDC scope to my son-in-law. We both tested it out on fine Fall day. It was awesome, it worked just like the add said on an AR15. We zeroed at 50 yards using a range finder then set up targets out to one hundred. The 100 yard target was composed of 4x4 inch plates hanging from a saw horse type set up. We never missed at any of the targets and it was awesome hearing the ping after each shot. Because of that I just bought a .22 caliber for myself in AR15 model. I am planning to buy two more of these scope, one for myself and one for my son. Sorry I don't know the eye relief but I believe it is available on the Nikon website.

the mil dot is your best choice....you have cross hairs for basic set it at 100yds and shoot all day at the range if later you decide to to be more advanced you have the mil dot sysrtem which has many/all the benefits of professional hunter sniper could want.

Hi KC,Sorry l gave you the wrong scope info for one of my three ones. The one you are asking about has top, left and right mil-dots. I would send a picture but don't know how. Sorry about that. It is a great scope.

by all means..best mount is the nikon Nikon M-223 XR. Or, you may want to ask the gunsmith if he has a less-expensive mount but i'm pretty sure the scope and mount are married. good luck -i have this scope on my sig sauer .223 and it is VERY accurate. the great thing about the BDC reticle is that once you achieve zero at 100 yards you can use the BDC circlesin 100 yard increments. happy hunting..!!

I think so Deborah. I have it on my 270 and does great . the crosshairs are fine with a single small black dot in center.

You could use it, but I would not. This scope is optimized for the .300 Blackout cartridge, so you would be defeating the purpose of the BDC program on the computer. I would by a 3X9 variable power BDC scope from Nikon for your .308 rifle.

Works just like a normal scope when the cross-hairs are not illuminated. If you would like to know how the reticle looks like, take a look at the BARSKA Mil-Dot Airgun (Black Matte, 4x32 AO) here on amazon. Looks exactly the same. I suggest you swap out the scope rings for some better quality ones. Mine came loose after putting 60 rounds of 100gr .243 on the paper.

Hi there, the mil-dot reticle is very fine and is black without being illuminated. It has gradients of one and a half. Full dot then a small line to indicate the half mil dot. When powered it is green and there are several levels of illumination. It can be turned either way so you can turn to the brightest setting with one click or opposite and illuminate it gradually with each click. The clicks on this and the turrets are good and solid, ideal if shooting with gloves. Just to add the focus ring on the left side is large but very easy to adjust for maximum clarity. I have been a photographer for over thirty years and always use high end lenses. The scope is heavy with lots of glass which is a good sign to me. The clarity is excellent and I would compare this to an expensive Nikon lens for a professional camera. I'm extremely impressed with its build and will be hunting and putting it to the test in a few weeks. I like my cameras and I choose only the best lens (glass). So far it has met my standards very well. I have checked out some of the overly priced scopes and this one feels as though it is made to last where others feel like they should be mounted on an air-rifle; light and flimsy. The high end scopes I have looked through did not match this scope in anyway shape or form. Good clean crisp vision equates to good clean crisp and precise shots. Great value for the price. A little blurred at full sixteen power but is easy for me to handle. No scope is totally perfect across the board. So far it has my seal of approval. Will update after the hunt if you would like me to do so. Stay safe and well BruceM

I would save some money and buy a SWFA Super Sniper. This scope is mainly just for looks. The turrets will foul very easily and do not adjust in consistent increments. Also, the reticle is in the second focal plan making for accurate ranging with the mil-dot reticle near impossible. So, my personal recommendation would be to save some more money and buy a fixed 10x SWFA. You'll get what you need for the money.
