Nikon Creates Riflescope for .300 AAC Blackout Cartridge
Patrick Durkin 01.28.13
Nikon’s P-300 BLK riflescope is engineered from the ground up for the .300 AAC Blackout cartridge, which has come on strong for feral hog hunting with AR/MSR platform rifles.
The .300 AAC Blackout is a versatile cartridge that shoots subsonic ammunition for low-noise applications and supersonic ammunition for longer-range shots. The P-300 BLK features the new BDC SuperSub reticle, which excels on both sides of the .300 AAC Blackout round.
“The .300 Blackout cartridge is an amazing caliber, and Nikon is excited to be able to match its ballistic profiles with this scope” said Jon LaCorte, senior product marketing manager of Nikon Sport Optics.
The P-300 BLK comes in a 2-7×32 configuration, and its versatile reticle is compatible with Nikon’s Spot OnBallistic Match Technology. The BDC SuperSub reticle offers shooters unique, open-circle aiming points out to 600 yards in 100-yard increments. Additional hash marks are spaced at 50-yard distances.
Adjustments in the field are incredibly easy with spring-loaded instant zero-reset turrets. Just sight in at 100 yards, lift the adjustment knob, rotate to your “zero,” and re-engage. MSRP: $199.99.
