Got some 40 gr., .223 rounds at a Parking Lot Sale.
Claim 3600+ FPS, going after some varmints that have been bothering me !
Got back to this thread but can't EDIT !
Here is a stock Photo of my latest Windham Weaponry - .223, luv the feel of this one.
Added new Sights but haven't sighted in the Rifle, this weekend will be dry and warm one so hoping for the best !
Thinking on a scope, need to keep it around $300.00, any ideas ?
If you can stretch your budget a little more, I'd pick up a Leupold Mark AR. I have a 3-9x40mm with the mildot reticle on my target AR. I wouldn't buy ANY other scope for the .223/5.56 cartridge. It's as simple as dialing it on to your desired range and pulling the trigger. No doping. No math. Mine is calibrated for the 55 grain projectile but if you like to shoot heavier projectiles, the Leupold shop can make you any custom turret you need. With the mildot reticle, if you don't know your desired range, then you can quickly and easily use the mildot system to estimate range accurately. Just pick an object of known size (say an average fence post is 5ft or whatever) and see how many mildots that takes up on the reticle. I bought a Mildot Master slide card to go with it and unknown target range is dialed in within seconds. If you're good at estimating range or you use a rangefinder, then the Mark AR will just be adjusted to your known range and you make the shot. Easy peasy. Mine is stupid accurate.

I've considered selling mine lately though, as I'd like to buy another Mark AR but in a 6-18x40mm because I like to stretch it out to much longer ranges. I'd like to be able to see my holes in the target better at times as well. But mine does awesome out to 250 yards so far. I just need a spotting scope to see the hits on the target.
