M & P 15 sport coyote gun

[firemanrob12]

Hey guys I just bought a 15 sport and I am stuck on how to get my accessories setup for what I want to do with it. I want to put a 3×9 scope on my sport but also want to mount a set of wicked lights on my scope for night hunting hogs and coyotes. Here is the light setup I'm going with: http://www.wickedhuntinglights.com/...ickedhuntinglights.com/Marksman_Kit.html#2562. I need a scope for the sport but don't know what to get so this light will mount to my scope. I know it will mount to a 1 inch tube. That is not the question. I want the height of the scope to be low as possible on the rail. No riser. I want to be able to have enough room on my scope to mount the light unlike the p 223 nikon. I want a bdc. Something in the 200 dollar range. I was looking a the nikon prostaff 3x9x40 but don't know if it will be to far extended down the carbine rifle. Sorry just wanna get this right.

No way I would mount anything that large on top my scope!

And you cannot really lower the scope and still be able to see through it! A 1.5 rise mount is pretty standard.

You could easily mount the light on a short rail on a Magpul (or other) handguard though.

That rig looks more suited to traditional rifles that don't have handguards that support rails.

No way I'd mount it like that on an m4gery. I'd get a decent handguard and mount the light on a rail.

Here's my yote hunting rig (no night hunting for me).

I used to use my 15 as my coyote gun. That is until I built a 300AAC. Wow that was a huge improvement over the 5.56. Especially if u run it suppressed in a SBR.

Then of course I decided to try out the 10 and see what good it would do. I was actually impressed it didn't do more damage than it did. In the end my 15 is strictly for range fun along with my 15-22.

How is running a suppressed .300 SBR an improvement in relation to an AR-15? What exactly do you mean?

300 seems like overkill on a song dog. Plus a lot more expensive to shoot. JMHO.

Hey Chew, what optic and mount do have? I like it

 

[Chew]

It's a Vortex 2-7x32 in Nikon P-Series rings. I'm a Leupold guy. But my favorite outdoor writer, Steven Rinella, raves about the Vortex stuff. Plus they have a solid warranty. Just wanted to try one out.

110gr up to around 220gr versus ur standard 55gr or 62gr in 5.56. In a weapon that was designed to be ran suppressed in SBR. Coyotes don't stand a chance and they never hear it coming lol. Put it side by side with the 5.56 and the 5.56 sounds like a 30-06 going off. .300AAC is just a nasty round for medium sized game and varmints.

As for ammo is pretty readily available online now days. If u are a reloader. U can neck down ur spent 5.56 brass and make it into 300AAC brass. So basically with all the .233 5.56 running around this country. U should have a pretty limitless supply of 300AAC to make if u reload.

AR10 is ur typical .308 in the AR platform. This is the route to take if u want to run 16" and unsurpressed. Obviously the 5.56 doesn't stand a snowballs chance in hell against it lol. And of course .308 ammo can be found anywhere u look. IMO now days the 5.56 is much like the 15-22. It's just fun to bring to the range and plink cheaply. When it comes to taking game. There is more bigger and better calibers to chose from that will perform much better.

Whatever floats your boat. But as the bullet is supersonic, they never "hear it coming", anyway...

Suppressed the 300 blk performs like a handgun caliber, with the same velocity and ft-lbs of energy. Hardly could be considered a "bigger" or "better" cartridge for coyote against the 5.56mm. But it is quiet, so there's that.

Un suppressed it mirrors the energy of 5.56, but is still slow comparatively and you lose the flat trajectory and the range. But it makes a 1/10 of an inch bigger hole, so it has that going for it.

300 blk is not in some whole new class of big boy ammo compared to 5.56. It's just different. Sometimes the differences turn out to be pluses, but sometimes they don't.

My .300AAC has never failed to do the job. And it's done a many of jobs. My 5.56 on the other hand is a different story. As for the AR10 there really isn't much to talk about. Over the years I've liked my 5.56. Then got into .300AAC and after I've learned to use it. I've gotten acustomed to it and can't look at my 5.56 the same anymore. Now after going to the .308 I'm starting to not look at my .300AAC that much anymore. In the enday it depends on how u plan to run it. Suppressed in SBR .300AAC hands down. Standard 16" barrel unsuppressed I'd go with the .308 in an AR10. This way u can always be sure the job will get done the first time.

I wouldn't load my rifle with additional weight, plenty of strong flashes that could be mounted on my handrails without additional brackets as well.

 

[Smitty357]

Weight is only an issue in a standard 16" barrel of u run a suppressor on it. Because the weight of the suppressor is so far away from ur support hand. This is where a SBR begins to stand out. Adding a suppressor to one doesn't feel as though it adds weight because the weight is closer to ur support hand.

.300AAC suppressed through a 9" or 11" barrel is just insane.
