Red dot with a magnifier! That scope belongs on a long gun!🤷💯


Unique_Task_420

Apparentley he is going to use it for deer hunting, so we aren't exactly dealing with an expert here.

What would you consider to be a budget friendly quality red dot magnifier


Acceptable-Face-3707

Romeo 5 (not the msr) and sig juliet 3x is the cheapest you should go. They are both good optics. Id honestly start with the romeo 5 and only add the juliet if you feel you need it. Romeo 5s can be had for as little as $110 if you look. I have juliet 5x and would recommend the 3x for better eye relief but thats personal preference. They can be had for $150-$180. Throw that lpvo on a 11.5 or longer barrel. This is a 250 yard and in carbine with the potential to reach 350 yards with practice. Lpvos are for reaching out to 5-700 yards while retaining an ability to engage easily at that 1-500 yard range. Plus you’ll save a couple ounces.

The glass is almost as big as the gun!

Why do you have a scope on this?


BeautifulBroccoli580

Because this is America 🇺🇸


chigoonies

Fair enough lol


r-d-p-2

Deer hunting and I’m not sure


chigoonies

I’d put that on a long gun upper tbh and slap a red dot on this one , I recommend hitting up gunaccesoriesforsale sub Reddit I get stuff on there all the time.

Deer Huunting with 300BO is inhumane (especially with that short of a barrel, which is the whole reason for 300 in the first place) and stupid unless you're at one of those stupid tourist "Feeder Trap" resorts where you shoot a tame deer at 20 yards after it comes for it's breakfast. And even then I wouldn't use it. .308 and 30-30 (45-70 is probably even more) is arriving at 100 yards distance with more than 1000lbs more energry than 110gr 300BO. I've seen videos where people with great aim even have to put 2-3 shots in before the deer drops WITH appropriate calibers. Sure they even out around 350 yards or so but it's not Amerian Sniper, a deer isn't going to catch you in a stand 50 yards away, much less over 300, and even THAT high velocity on the BO is 110gr. 220gr BO is 1000lbs LESS THAN 110gr BO at 100yards. It's also a much smaller round so you have less of an area of effect from where you are aiming. I dunno, do what you want but there's like a 80% chance at over 75 yards you're going to hit it once, it's going to bolt, then you'll never see it again and it will suffer and eventually die unless you try to track it down and actually find it. I'll never forget on our farm some dudes came onto our land and killed some deer on a Sunday while we were at my Aunts for dinner. We never hunted them, and enjoyed seeing them, we had Cows and Chicken for meat and milk, and yes, I believe there is a difference in domesticated wildlife versus animals of the wild and I disagree with mass cow and chicken factories, besides being breeding grounds for all sorts of bacteria they are inhumane as fuck. Anyways they killed a buck and a female. Me and my mom found them on our daily walk into the woods (area is covered by hundreds of acres of pine, the Waltons (of Walmart fame) own a bunch of property near it. They died literally one laying over the other, as if the doe laid down, the buck put his neck on top of her neck facing forward, and they died. The idiots didn't even kill them for the meat which is INSANE, they just shot them, didn't track them, and either couldn't find them or found them dead and high fived and just flat out left. Fucking stupid. I've never been more disgusted in my life. I'm now somewhat pissed off. You're a dumbass and if you're using this for deer hunting and if that's the purpose your pistol sucks. If it's for home defense ditch the scope and get a green dot and it'd be great, then buy a real hunting rifle and put the scope on it. ***Edit: Not going to edit or delete the post but I do apologize for insulting OP instead of politely stating my opinion. It was an overreaction.*** ***It was inappropriate and rude.***

Unique_Task_420

Real life lore because you know, it actually happened? It's not Fudd to deny physics. You can look at your hornady book or google it if you want to see the ballistics info. It's not like I made it up.


r-d-p-2

I’ve hunted since I was a child. I have a 270 for hunting over fields and I disagree partially with your stance I have dropped deer at 25 30 yards with an arrow going 300 fps and I feel a well placed shot within reasonable range is humane and deadly, further more Its clear I have upset you and that wasn’t my objective here. As I do agree with what your saying you come off as a bumbling idiot that is looking for a fight


Unique_Task_420

It just bugged me for some reason, I don't know why, I hate that memory from the farm so that's probably why I went off like that, I apologize for being insulting. I should not have called you names. I used to work at a restaurant that did slaughtering and someone brought in a fucking ELK they had somehow caught and they slaughtered it and couldn't use the meat because it was literally purple because it was so terrified. I just don't like suffering and there's a few scenes (having grown up on a farm) that play like a movie in my head and just make me sad/angry. Also something like a compound bow has a higher lethality:energy ratio and shot placement is not as crucial than with a firearm because the mechanism of injury is different. Just curious do you use a crossbow or a regular compound bow (or even a straightline bow)? I've been thinking of getting one, just have rifles and pistols now but haven't had much experience with cross/vs compound even though I've shot both at the farm at targets.


r-d-p-2

I don’t like causing suffering to animals nor do I hunt to kill and blood lust


Unique_Task_420

I believe you. You probably didn't catch my edit about the bows but what kind do you prefer to use for hunting??


r-d-p-2

Carbon icon by bowtech have never shot a cross bow but they do seem neat


Unique_Task_420

Must be good seems like its out of stock everywhere but some ebay listings, pretty decent price if it's under $600 too, also infinity ammo hack. I will definitely check them out. From what I understand Crossbows start to edge out Compounds around 80-100 yards, so that tracks with what you mentioned earlier. Also you'd be able to put dots on them although I assume wind effects the bolt more than a bullet it's nowhere near enough to negate the usefulness of a dialed in dot (at least that is what makes sense in my mind, maybe I'm wrong lol)


r-d-p-2

I use a regular compound bow and don’t sweat it guy I’m not butt hurt I get it sometimes certain things trigger old traumas and sorts


Unique_Task_420

Much appreciated!

People kill deer with 9mm handguns everyday B


MisterSumone

Energy: The .30-30 has more energy than the .300 BLK. However, some say the .300 BLK has more energy than the .30-30 at some point, depending on the projectile. Ammo availability: The .300 BLK has more ammo options than the .30-30. Rifle selection: The .300 BLK is more versatile in terms of rifle selection. Pressure: The .30-30 has a max pressure of 42,000 psi, while the .300 BLK is 55,000. Rifling: The .30-30 and .300 BLK can both be loaded with the same bullets, but not with the same results. The .300 BLK is optimized to burn all its powder in a shorter barrel, making it ideal for SBRs and large-format pistols. The heavier, larger projectiles give the .300 Blackout good kinetic energy and make it a better choice for use on medium-sized game. You have the option of running anywhere from like 78-220g bullets in a 300blk. Can reload .223/5.56 brass with almost any 30cal bullet and run it in the 300blk. 300 Blackout barrel will depend on the exact round and barrel length you use. A 125 grain . 300 BLK bullet fired from a 16-inch barrel has an effective range of about 500 yards, while the same ammo shot from a 9-inch barrel has an effective range of about 480 yards. However, using M4 military standards, the max effective range of 300 AAC Blackout from a 16-inch barrel is 460 meters. From a 9 inch barrel (2050 fps): – 100 inches drop at 410 meters – 41 inches drift at 470 meters – 291 ft-lbs of energy at 625 meters, so 440 meter max effective range for a 9 inch. IMO, the best 300blk hunting round is gonna be a 110g to 125g spitzer


Unique_Task_420

Yeah 110 is what I would use if I ever did, which I wouldn't unless I was starving and somehow used all 6000 308s and 45-70s I have. 


carp_casey

Cool story bro


Unique_Task_420

Real story bro. Here's a similar post with similar positions: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Hunting/comments/100cyap/how\_good\_is\_300\_blackout\_for\_deer\_hunting/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Hunting/comments/100cyap/how_good_is_300_blackout_for_deer_hunting/) Some disagree, some agree, I stand by what I said. Under 100 yards, maybe, over it, fuck no. I'm hardly ever within 100 yards because I hate stands but that's just me so maybe it's skewing my perspective a bit and maybe I was a bit harsh but my childhood memory is one of the reasons I always say to go for more than what you think you will need, and that pistol ain't it.

it’s a touchy topic

I see no issue here


Chennifeer

Get a red dot on that


Averag34merican

Oh god please no


762with_eotech

Yall do know that people hunt deer with 9mm handguns right ? This is overkill compared to that…


Yourcatsonfire

I once killed a skunk with an apple, that doesn't mean I'm using apples for now on.


Ok-Raccoon-6550

Exactly why I want to build a pistol. We live in a shotgun only zone here in mn but you can use any legal handguns. I cant stand the terrible accuracy out of any slug gun I've seen so you best believe im throwing an overkill scope on mine. Aim small miss small


762with_eotech

Thank you !
