With shot show right around the corner...anyone have any rumors for upcoming 300blk optic options?

What, do you mean like optics with a bullet drop compensated reticle?
No idea, but I would guess probably not. I am guessing that BDC reticles can be found in 5.56/.223 and 7.62/.308 because those cartridges have somewhat standardized military spec loadings.
.300 BLK is not adopted by any military to my knowledge, and the cartridge is loaded to all sorts of different specs. Also, if you thought changing bullet weights among the 5.56 varieties would throw you off, just imagine how messed up shooting supersonics looking through a BDC calibrated for subsonics, or vice versa would be.
I'd just stick to MOA and mil reticle optics, know your drops, and you'll be good to go.

The benchmark is the Remington 220 grain subsonic, and I believe their super is the other benchmark for optic reticles...but aside from that, I don't know the answer.

Trijicon has an ACOG with a 300 BLK reticle. I am selling one in the optic classifieds if interested.
