Lucid L7 1-6x...looks about ideal for 300blk subs

Post by TobyJ »

I was looking for an optic for my SBR, that would let me shoot subs further, and this seems ideal.

Anyone have any experience with this scope? I had a Lucid HD7, and found it to be pretty solid. While I think the ranging dots are probably placed too far apart for supers, they are about ideal for subs. This is from Strelok Pro, using my 190gr Nosler sub at 1000fps. With a 50 yd zero, I get holds about every 50 yds at 6x. And then everything under 50 yds is pretty much +/- the center dot. At 1x, the illuminated outer circle and dot should be pretty quick for target acquisition.

I'm looking for something to use in my local club's AZ Defense Match...it's shot at 100, 200, and 300 yds, with roughly 2-3 MOA targets. I was going to switch to a supersonic loading, but after reading through the thread about 200yd subs, I think it's worth a try.

And while the 8 MOA divisions are probably not great for Supers, it has nice 'pull to adjust' turrets, so dialing it in is pretty easy.

I'd appreciate any feedback...

I like low powered variables, so I am looking at that one. 8moa spacing on the elevation dots is a bit over 2 mils, and easier for those of us who have always used MOA. My preference would be for more distinct graduations, ie, hash marks on a vertical crosshair. I would have to have this one in hand to evaluate it.

I have used a 1-6 MILDOT at 200 with no problem. A 3" target dot 1.5 MOA, and it can be easily seen.

Drop with a 50 yard zero at 200 is about 7 MIL. Something like 22-23 MOA.
300 Blackout, not just for sub-sonics.

I had a couple of the HD7's and they worked great for me.
I do have the L7 1-6. As of now, It has worked fine. Had it in a 9" 300Blk. Moved it to a 12" 6.5Grendel. Now it sits on a 16" 5.56. Only complaint I have, it is heavy, but it does feel very solid. Good glass and stays zeroed.

Handled them at the 2016 shot show ( Acog style), nice crisp glass and positive clicks looked well built. Might check them out for my new dedicated 300Blk subsonic, have a pile of 264 DS specials and 180 wedges to tune.
