NIKON Nikon P-223 Riflescope

Extreme sighting speed and superior long-range accuracy – just two of the advantages these riflescopes add to your AR platform. BDC-600 reticle has open-circle aiming points and hash marks from 100 to 600 yards. It is equipped with tactical-style turrets and zero-reset feature to simplify field adjustments. BDC-600 reticle also available with Rapid-Action Turret, allowing you to simply dial in your distance and place the crosshairs directly on target. Fast-sighting Carbine reticle option was developed specifically for fast-handling shorter barrel ARs and 3x32 and .223 Remington cartridges to engage targets out to 600 yards. Fully multicoated optics deliver extreme brightness and up to 98% light transmission. Generous, consistent eye relief. 1/4-MOA hand-turn, tactical-style turrets. Nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed for waterproof, fogproof performance.

P-223

Date:May 16, 2013
I put this on my M&P-15 with 3/4 riser. Clear optics, love the finger turret, holds zero, shoots the centers out at 100 Yds. Great combo couldn't be happier.

NIKON P-223 & MOUNTS

Date:April 16, 2013
I have a RR LAR 15 w/an A post front sight, which I thought would interefere with the scope picture as it was higher than my stock rail mount. Amazingly it never affected the sight picture. After a simple install, it took only four shots and a few clicks to zero in at 100 yards and 'son-of-a-gun', those graduated range (circle) increments really do work as claimed. Tested at three and four hundred yards, striking the metal targets consistently.

great scope for the money

Date:April 9, 2013
I mounted this on a M&P 15. Using the Nikon rings, and a 3/4 inch riser, it fits perfectly. I have not had a chance to hunt yet, but at the range, it is very easy to zero, and after about 300 rounds it still is zero.

Nikon rules!

Date:April 9, 2013
I bought this scope for an S+W M+P 15. I already own an M-308 and figured I would try the P series since I didn't want to spend a ton of cash on this combo. I am very pleased. The Nikon quality shows in this scope just as in the M series. It functioned flawlessly for over 250 rounds. Held zero while being cased and uncased for transport. A great entry level Nikon that shows their quality and is easy on your wallet.

Great scope, great price

Date:March 26, 2013
I've used red dots with no zoom on my rifles for the last few years and wanted some zoom, but not have a huge scope hanging off the top of my rifle. I wanted fast target time too. I think this scope is a perfect fit for that need. The scope is very clear to see through, very happy with the eye relief, fit and finish are very nice. The caps it comes with are great. I bought the p series scope mount as well and am very happy with the purchase. The dials are very easy to use, have nice clicks when you make adjustments, and resetting to 0 is so easy. Good purchase.

Great value, nice quality.

Date:March 12, 2013
I've been happy with the scope. Good eye relief for an AR platform, no aberrations in the glass, and clear focus throughout the range of magnification. For the money, VERY nice scope.

Nice scope

Date:February 26, 2013
The P-223 is a well-made scope, and while it's on the budget end of the Nikon line it still has Nikon quality.
Pro's -
- The glass is bright and sharp,
- Fit and finish are very good
- The scope zeroed quickly on my AR and has held zero for the 200 rounds I've shot so far
- Finger-adjustable exposed turrets and return-to-zero feature
- Reasonable size and weight
Cons -
- Parallax makes closer targets blurry at anything over about 5-6X. Not uncommon for a 3-9X
- The numerals on the turrets are not bright, so in low light they're hard to see
- The BDC reticle is a big deal for some people, but I don't find it that useful. It can't translate to set ranges for all bullet weights, so it becomes just a holdover estimator. I can do that without little tiny circles on the reticle legs
Overall, a very nice scope. I plan to make myself a small table of elevation clicks for various distances with the rounds I usually shoot, and I'll use that instead of the BDC reticle. The return-to-zero turrets will make it easy to go back to my base settings.
I recommend this scope to anyone wanting a good solid scope who don't want to spend their kids' inheritance on glass.

Great scope for AR 15 platform

Date:February 12, 2013
Great scope!! This scope is to the "T" of how Nikon describes it to be. There is no interference with the fixed front sight in the scope lens on any power setting.

Flat top mount = Awsome

Date:February 5, 2013
Mounted this scope to my AR with A2 carry handle and front sight post. After turning the elevation turret 1 complete rotation I was still not on paper at 100 yards. I removed the carry handle and replaced the front sight / gas block with a low pro gas block and remounted the scope. It is now a tack driver and my favorite coyote hunting tool. Elevation hash marks are small but aim small miss small.

Excellent Scope for the AR Platform

Date:February 4, 2013
Great scope at a good price. Mounted on my AR, this thing obliterates the bullseye at 100 yards. Simple to mount and a breeze to zero.
Get one, you won't regret it.

Good looking scope

Date:January 22, 2013
Haven't used this scope much really like it so far. Going to be a good addition to my AR. Has good eye relief and very clear. Haven't tested the BDC yet but hear good things. Very nice product.
