Thread: 223 Scope

2-10 Leupold

Dialling on Rabbits out to 850 yrds with 60g Nosler Ballistic Tips at 3100 fps

The 223 is great for wind call practise and evaluating wind over varied geography, angled shots up faces, shooting over saddles, steep angles etc as that little projectile accentuates every external influence

Very interesting comments, just what I was hoping for. I do run a "heavier" 223 that has the capability to shoot/dial to the cartridges limit.

You can shoot a rabbit at 850 yards with a 2-10 x scope?

How about a 4-12 z3 or 2.4-12 z5 swaro for the new rifle.

Legand mate . . . i've spotted rabbits out passed 800yrds with 10X binos and shot at them . . . but lookin thru a 8-32 Nightforce.
next time I'm up the hill with my Quad with a 3.5-10 mk4 on top i will check it out

yeah i hear ya @Mathias thought the same thing . . but i still take my hat off to him even if he didnt connect because he tried.

i dont know what kind of ground he shoots over, if its dry like where i shoot you see the bullets kick up dust, not sure what he would see thru a 10X and 60 grain bullets.
when i was chasing distance i was shooting out past 900 yards, you'd see the bullet land ( 25X ) just over its back, just beside them . . so close, enough to keep coming back and having a few shots during every walk on the hill.
Never did make 900 but i gave it a good go untill my .243 barrel gave out . . 800 was my longest rabbit hit, 1000 on steel.
