Well, I've always thought of the 300Whisp. as a short- to medium-range caliber. I've never thought of shooting it past 150-200yds. I like to look at it as the best round for the M-4 Carbine (and shorter) versions of the AR-15/M-16 platform for CQB. Something that hits hard, penetrates deep, is suppressible, and actually effective vs. that miserable 5.56mm that has all the power of a 22WMR out of the short-barrelled guns... Therefore, I've been very happy with an Aimpoint Comp II w/ the 12moa triangle. The tip of the triangle will be zeroed for about 85 yards for "precision" work from 50-130 yards or so, and for closer shots, one need only put the triangle on the torso of the bad guy and squeeze the trigger.
However, this thread has got me thinking that it might be interesting to play around with a higher-powered scope, such as the Leupold mentioned above. That would be quite impressive to be able to put suppressed 300 W. shots on a man-sized target at 300+ yards.
