What scope do you use for .300 Whisper?

Probably some sort of mil-dot reticle scope? What works best for you? I'm trying to figure out what would be the most effective scope for use on a suppressed 1 in 8" Whisper, which will be used with mostly subsonic but some supersonic loads and at any range from 25yds to 300+.

I use a ACOG TA01NSN scope. It works great with the 300 Whisper.

Thanks, cherokee. Does it work well for the dramatic bullet drop between supersonic light loads and heavy subsonics?

I use a bushnell holosight II. However, I can not say that it is ideal for changing from super sonic to sub sonics. Check Horus vision. Horus uses a grid system, and give computer software with their scopes that tell you what grid to use, at what distance. My friend has one he uses for his long range rifle, and can compensate from 100 to 500 yards without changing his settings.
They may have something that would work for you.

Leupold VX3

Hi there,
I'm having a custom mildot reticle installed on my 2.5-8x36 leupold & ballistically matched for subsonic 240gr Sierra MK's to give 50yard hold points out to 300 yards. Should make for accurate field shots when combined with my lazer range finder.

.300 whisper scope

I use a Shepherd 6x18 V2 on my suppresed .308 sniper rifle. It has a dual reticle rang finding and bullet drop compensating system that works for both super and subsonic loads. It is set up for the supersonic loads but with a day on the range you can sight in your rifle with the sub ammo and only have to adjust for windage. Keep a log book of what range circle to use for your hold over and you can quickly switch between sub and supersonic ammo with no loss of zero. I have placed many shots at 1000+ meters with M118LR ammo and many shots with 170gr sub ammo at 400+ meters useing this scope. I plan on useing a Shepherd 3x10 P2 on my 300 whisper. You can get this scope that is calibrated for the 7.62X39 wich has identicle ballistics to the 300 whisper for supersonic loads. Check them out at www.shepherdscopes.com

A combonation of Army and Navy Special Forces taught me all that I know and I am willing to learn all that I can and share all that I know. I am new to quarterbore and figured I would say HI.

So, you are familiar with the military version of the Remington 700 sniper rifle in 308 I assume.
