I needed a reason to justify rebuilding my 300 black out. The true reason is I fell in love with the rifle I built my girl using burnt bronze on the receivers, Geissele DDC parts, and FDE furniture.
My 300 black out was a cheapish Aero build. I’m now using a Vltor MUR upper without FA, Geissele DDC super charging handle, Geissele MK4 DDC 9.3” rail, and Wilson Combat 11.3” barrel. The lower is an Aero M4E1, Rise 535 trigger which I may replace with a Geissele SDE since I have them in all my other rifles, Magpul K2+ grip, Law folder, carbine buffer, Magpul SLS stock. I’m going to use a Steiner P4Xi in a Geissele DDC Super Precision mount, with Reptilia FDE forward ring mount, and Trijicon HRS coyote brown RMR. Other than that I was just thinking of adding a Steiner Dbal. I’m just now worrying.. will the Steiner objective lens sit high enough to clear the Dbal?? Unfortunately I’ve already ordered it.
I’ll be using a SilencerCo Velos LBP 762.
I plan to stick with Hornady 110 grain VMAX over 19.8 of H110 and work up a sub load for 220 grain SMKs using N120.
Does this sound like a decent NV set up? I know 556 especially out of short barrels has a lot of blast so 300 black out seems perfect especially with subs.
Should I go with a different IR laser illuminator? I was thinking of using the Unity Tactical Axon mounted on the top rail. I went with a longer barrel do to needed a longer rail for all of this.

Looks like if I want to stay with the standard height scope mount my options are MAWL and USNV Designate IR-V.
At $1900 for the USNV or $3600 for the MAWL versus $1200 for the D2 I may just need to buy the 1.93” scope mount. Unfortunately that’s going to put the top mounted RDS REALLY HIGH.

if you want to ride pimp style, get the sight specifically for a 300 Blk run under nods: https://wilcoxind.com/products/combat-systems/laser-aiming-devices/product_combat_boss-xe

the eye safe version still has a very excellent laser

the main draw is that the IR/Vis laser, and the reticle zero are all co-aligned and have two separate zero settings with the flick of a lever. (subsonic and supersonic)

That does look incredible!! Unfortunately I’m assuming that also comes at an incredible price. Any first hand experience with one? Actually… $4300?? Is that right? That’s not much more than a MAWL. I may need to look into that. I don’t mind spending a little more for one and done.
Thank you for the suggestion!
