Hi,

My name is Bill. Just added a DPMS .308 Oracle to my arsenal. Haven't fired it yet. Bought a bunch of 168grn match ammo for it. Had a slight mishap on my dual-sport motorcycle last weekend checking out possible hunting areas and now have casts on both hands and a broken foot as we1l. In the meantime, I'm looking for a decent optic/scope for the DPMS for both shootingrange plinking and hog/deer/exotic/varmint hunting out to 150-200 yards. Would appreciate any recommendations. Holo, red-dot, or conventional scope. I wear glasses if that makes a difference.

Thanks

Bill

Welcome to AR10T Bill (aka bpayne13)

For 150-200yd needs I would go with a 1-4X scope. Adjustable eye relieve will be helpful with glasses.

All listed will allow for CQB and 300yd pinpoint accuracy. 4X will work well up to 600yd w/t IPSC size targets. Leupold Mk4 CQ/T, Leupold Mk4 1.5-5X20mm, and Nightforce NXS 1-4X24mm are U.S. Military combat proven. Just incase if you have your rifle while riding your motorcycle

Welcome Bill!

Sorry to hear about your accident. I hope you heal fast and well!

Regarding the scope, how much do you want to spend?

I'm not sure. $200-400 I think but I really want something that will allow me to shoot deer, elk, varmints, etc out to 200-300 yards. I've only used regular variable range scopes with adj objective in the past. How do red dot or holographic optics compare and what are their advantages?
