I just finished up building two project guns and now I am looking for the right scopes. Please post below or email me of you have any suggestions.
The first is a Colt AR-15 flattop with a 300/221 barrel, JP adjustable gas block and AWC thundertrap suppressor. I am mainly looking to shoot targets at a max of 300 yards but may decide to take a deer next season(it is legal in Maryland to hunt with a suppressor). I shot it this weekend with some old factory Corbon 150grain super sonic ammo. The gun cycled great and it was very quite except for the sonic boom. The only problem was I had no sights at all so I have no idea how the gun groups. I am thinking of a Leupold 30MM Mark 4 4.5 X 14. The down side is the scope is a bit expensive. I am also looking for a source of either loaded subsonic ammo or brass that is already sized. I don't care if it was 223 or 221 providing it will work.
The second gun is a TC Encore in 50 Alaskan. It has a 16.5" barrel and a Gemtech thundertrap suppressor. I am currently shooting Barnes 750 grain .50 BMG bullets with 27 grains of accurate No. 9 powder. The gun is not a quiet as I had hoped but still get the job done. I have been using a very cheap 4X scope just to get some idea if the load was working.
Let me know if you have any scope suggestions or can help with ammo/brass.
Thanks in advance
