AR SBR Build What Caliber

Sweet. well 300 is the way i am going now i need a recommendation on suppressor and a 1-4x scope

On scopes I have considered Leupold VXR Patrol, Burris Extreme and also the ACOG but would rather not drop that much in the ACOG....

For suppressors I was considering the AAC 7.62SD

what are your guys thoughts on these items and any other recommendations....
 
I have a Burris AR332 on my Blackout and love it, It's a 3X red/green dot and defaults to a black reticle when turned off or has dead batterys;)
Can't help with the can I'm still looking at those and I haven't SBR'd mine yet.
 
I went with a Gemtech Sandstorm, and it's great. The weight difference is definitely noticeable on a 10.5" SBR. It's a little extra, but I got a smoking deal on mine I couldn't turn down.
 
On the AAC, the 7.62-SDN-6 is a nice, compact suppressor that matches well for .300 (mine is shorter than my reflexed 5.56mm suppressor); but it weighs a ton. If you aren't going to go full-auto or do mag dumps, a titanium suppressor might keep it a little handier.

As for optics, you have such a range of bullets and velocities available in .300 that I think mil-dot or milrad (1-?x) is the way to go. There are all kinds of "ballistic reticles" but none of the generic ones are going to match up with the variation between 110gr supersonic and 220gr subsonic. And even the .300 BLK specific ballistic reticles are only going to match certain rounds closely - meaning you'll just end up guessing anyway.

If you aren't going to be shooting past 100yds and accuracy isn't a major concern, then a mini-red dot keeps the rifle light and handy and does a great job - and at 100yds or so you can more or less eyeball the differences in various ammo.
 
If price is a factor and .223 is on your radar at all, you may want to check out the four guy guns closeout on piston systems. I ordered one in 11.5" and will be using my 7.62 can on it. They're CHEAP at the moment. I'd link it, but not sure about the rules on that (and I'm typing this at work...)
 
Hard to go wrong with an AAC 762 SDN-6

A really nice 1-4x (love mine) is a Trijicon Accupoint TR24.

I would only recommend 300 if you reload, don't mind spending a lot on ammo, or don't plan to shoot it much.
 
I think I am going to go with the AAC 762 SDN-6 found a online coupom for $200 in freebies from AAC for that model

as far as scopes

I am really leaning towards one of these 3 all 3 are First Focal plane Any suggestions on these options. They all are eating a lot out of my SBR Build budget but don't want to skimp on the optics too much.

I've never been accused of being an advocate of cheap scopes, but I can't see spending the amounts you are contemplating on a relatively short range rifle. I think this would be all you would ever need: http://swfa.com/Leupold-4x33-FX-II-Riflescope-P3265.aspx

Spend the difference on ammo.

Huge difference between the SWFA he posted and that Leupold.

The SWFA SS is an adjustable magnification from "true 1x" up to 4x and it has an illuminated reticle. It also has a really nifty FFP reticle. It is an entirely different optic that will do a lot more than a non illuminated fixed 4x

I know it is in a different league, but I'm just wondering if a suppressed rifle (which assumes he's shooting subsonic and therefore probably not long ranges) really needs that level of glass. There's overkill and then there's OVERKILL. If someone were giving me the cash I would take the Leupold and the difference in ammo.

Of course if he just WANTS it then who am I to question? :D Maybe I'm just jealous.:what:

I absolutely would not assume that just because a suppressor is planned the guy will only be shooting subsonic rounds.

Also, a 1-4x makes even more sense if that is the case, because subsonic .300 blk is best at pretty close ranges where the 1x low end of the scope combines with the illuminated reticle to act much like a red dot, absolutely blowing the non-illuminated fixed 4x out of the water in that role.
 
I will be shooting subs and supers in tis rifle. Also it will be for hunting purposes so with my eyes I think adjustable power in a scope would be best suited for my needs. I know the price is high on these scope but I want super crisp optics. At least as crisp as I can get for the budget. As far as Ammo I am reloading mine and that cost money but is cheaper than buying in the store. I already have a dillon press so I just need the dies.

Agreed. While the BLK is effective out to 350-400 yards with max power mid-weight bullets (125-155), its strong point is as a shorter range, quick action rifle, especially if short barreled. A 1x red dot is a great choice out to 150 yards, you can get 3-4 MOA groups with no problem, which is easy body mass shooting in rapid-fire. My 1x Redfield has a 4MOA dot, which covers the whole dang bullseye at 100 yards, but it's no trouble putting all the rounds on the dot. I have three different sights, my irons are offset and zero'd at 50 yards, the laser at 50 also, for low-light conditions, and the red dot at 100 yards (actually green dot, so I can still see the laser through it). Mine is a 16" carbine, BTW
