I was just wondering what other quality choices are their for BDC scopes? besides the Springfield GE5090; for .223 fed. match?

I like Leopold and Redfield scopes. But I can't seem to find one with a BDC for a .223. If anyone knows of another scope that they have experience with that has a BDC for the .233 match I'd appreciate hearing about it. I want to buy one..

  I have a Burris 4.5-14 with a Ballistic Plex on a .223 that I use on praire dogs. All it is, is three short horizontal lines underneath the standard duplex reticle. What I did was measure the spacing at 100yrds against a grid type target. With a little math and a lot of shooting (you learn a lot about your load this way) the results are pretty good. I never had much luck with BDC's, the variables are to great to ensure a first round hit. Don't put trust in how much drop your scope maker (BDC) says your load will have. Shoot your load, know your load, and you will connect. PS they wern't designed as aiming points, but they all make mil-dot reticles that will work just like the Burris.

  Try the Shepard Scope. You sight it in at 100 Yds, then put the decending aiming point on your target out to 1,000 Yds. Very simple and fast to use. It is 3.5x10 power and about $565. I have 2 and really like 'em.

  Another vote for the Shepherd. Note that the Shepherd is not designed for bullseye type target use, but for hunting (2 and 4 legged game).

  Some guys like a mag full of lead, I still prefer one round to the head.

  Try Burris Ballistic Plex. One of the best simple systems.
  Shepherd. Designed for hunting. But it has, and can be used.
  
  Many companies make such an item. The Nato 5.62 & 7.62 (308 Win)rounds are very, very close. Same ballistics family. You will still have to create a 'drop chart' by live fire for exact accuracy.
  
  
  Happy Bullet Holes!
