What is the effective range of this scope? For .223/5.56

With this, generally you're looking at about 100 yards. You could squeeze more out of it, but you'd be pushing it. Look elsewhere if you want to reach out further than that.

Scopes have little effect on ballistics, the effective range is entirely dependent on your skill. 3-9x zoom should be adequate for 5.56mm and do some research on lens width to find what will give you the best field of view for the range you intend to be shooting at.

I have no idea about your cal. I use it on a .22 pellet gun and is is very good out to 50 yes. Very clear and bright. I would not have a problem putting it on a AR-15. I am a Leupold man and I feel this is just as clear.
1535404
I have no idea.I got it sighted in at 50 in 3 shots with a lower power 55 grain handload and put it in the safe.Around here I have no chance of shooting beyond 100-150.

How well do you shoot? This scope will do fine the effective range of a 5.56 is about 600 yards with perfect conditions.
1535406
I think that this depends on how well you shoot and the condition you will shoot in, for me it's very clear and accurate up to 100 yards and possible a bit further but that really depends on the shooter.

So far I have only had the opportunity to test out to 150 yards. I can't speak as to its performance beyond that.

It is a very durable scope, so it might handle .50BMG. As for windage and elevation, I think it may do fine out to 1000 yards where .50BMG is accurate to, though 2 1/2 mile shots have been made with .50 BMG.

I have 2- both on Ruger American 22 mag. & 223 Rem. Very accurate out to 100 yds. my longest available range. Excellent scope for the price, easy sighting in

I put this scope on a m&p 15-22, not a .223, it did return to zero at 50yards, however it is limited. It is not a powerful scope, we use it for squirrels and plinking at no more then 50 to 60 yards past that its not good.

It is 15" with out the shade. Pretty good scope for the money. Does get a little tough to focus on full power, but so far I've put about 50 to 100 rounds through it on my 223, I like it.

That all depends on the shooter and the round. I believe the 300 BLK has an effective range of 600 yards or so. It's a great scope that's for sure. Silver dollar groups at 100 yards but I'm not a great shooter either.

I'm shooting at a 100 yard outdoor range, so it's not a problem for me at that distance. Can't vouch for beyond that. Most shooters I know use a scope for beyond 100 yards, and a red-dot like Lucid's HD7 for CQC and less than 100 yard engagements.

My scope works fine. Anybody that wants to shoot further than a few hundred yards with a .223 should maybe get a more powerful rifle and scope.

It depends on your distance. I use mine on a 30-06 out to 300 yards, if you put a 15/20 MOA scope mount/base you can go longer, but here in Northern NE you don't need much more. The range of it is good and it is a fine shooter for any .308 caliber from 75-400, but not without a sloped mount.
668488
No, but for the money it should work pretty good. I can see .223 round holes pretty good at 300 yards. It's barley bigger than a .22 round. I guess you could compare it to a birds eye at 300 yards.

I mounted my Accushot scope on a Gamo Bull Whisper Extreme 177 caliber to test the strenght of the internals of the scope. After 750-1000 rounds it still is very accurate at 40 yards. After my test, I would not mind putting it on a 300 win mag. As a hunting scope in low light conditions it is good for the money. I like the lighted rec.

Yes it is designed for specifically for a .223 round, once dialed to match target at 100 yards, scope is set for 5.56 or .223 velocity and drop. Each bubble below is for 100 yards further. Mine words great.

Hey, the Turrent markings are 1/4' @ 100yrd zero or MOA. On my DPMS with the M-223 XR mount, the Scope height is approx. 2.66 inches (center of bore or bolt to the center of the scope). So far I have been very please with this scope. The book says that this scope is optimal with a 55 grn bullet with a muzzle velocity of 3,240 FPS. I'm trying to load a round that meets those specifications, just waiting for it to cool down around here!Good Luck,Charles

I've only used it up to 50 yards. I can perfectly see the bullet holes perfectly. Try using some of those birchwood shoot n see targets. I used it for my ak74 which makes holes about the size of a .22. My guess is that you'll be ok if you use shoot n see targets

I suggest the splatter targets, since they leave a bigger signature and the .223 is a smaller caliber---a 100yards is about max with that scope

My scope is mounted to an FN FAL C1A1 in 7.62x51/.308. The BDC for this scope is for 5.56/.223. The 7.62x51/.308 matches the trajectory of the 5.56/.223 fairly close out to about 500 yards. This scope would only BCD a 7.62x39 at best for 1-2 hundred yards. On my AKS Polytech and my SKS-D i have a 4x32 scope. A scope on a SKS has to be short enough so the cartridges can expel without hitting the bottom of the scope or objective lens of the scope. If the scope is over/above the breach the spent cartridges will hit it on ejection damaging the scope.

You will have no issues with this scope with what you're trying to do. I use it for seeing the holes of 223/556 @ 100 yrds, no splatter. This scope is the real deal for that price.
