Agree Rob, lower power is faster/better in this application. 3x or 5x is plenty.

Not to say you can't setup a longer-end-of-the-range precision setup with a higher-powered scope, but in general use, i think lower would be more useful. (if you were only choosing one scope)

I agree that 1x is best for the short upper, but for the 16" I'd like to see a little more power. Either a 3x mini-ACOG or 4x ACOG with a custom reticle would be ideal for that application IMHO.

Robert,

Since you have been discussing things with Leupold, what are the odds of Leupold producing an M3 knob for the 300 BLK?

AAC will keep Leupold knobs in stock for 300 Blackout.
