Nikon P-223 AR Rifle Scope

Nikon Hunting

Melville, NY --(Ammoland.com)- The new P-223 series of riflescopes broadens Nikon’s line of precision optics for AR rifles.

Designed for extreme sighting speed and superior long-range accuracy for AR platform rifles and .223 cartridges, the P-223 is offered in 3-9×40 long range and 3×32 Carbine models.

The P-223’s entire optical system is fully multicoated for extreme brightness and light transmission.

The P-223 3-9×40 features the patented Nikon BDC 600 reticle and tactical-style turrets with Zero-Reset feature to simplify field adjustments. Developed specifically for the trajectory of the .223 Rem /5.56 NATO round with 55-grain polymer tip bullet, at 3240 FPS the BDC 600 reticle offers shooters unique open circle aiming points and hash marks from 100 to 600 yards.  MSRP for the P-223 3-9×40 is $199.95.

The P-223 3×32 Carbine is an incredibly compact optic designed specifically for fast-handling, shorter barrel ARs.  The all-new, fast-sighting BDC Carbine reticle was developed specifically for the 3×32 and .223 Remington cartridge to make engaging targets out to 600 yards a snap.  MSRP for the P-223 3×32 Carbine is $149.95.

Like all Nikon riflescopes, the P-223 is optimized for use with Nikon Spot On^TM Ballistic Match Technology.  The Spot On program provides users with exact aiming points on the BDC reticle for any load or ammunition at a specified range.  Spot On can be purchased for iPhone and Android or tried out for free at nikonhunting.com/spoton.

Also available is an all-new P-Series Mount. Developed to fit Picatinny rails found on most flattop AR rifles, this two-piece design allows proper height and positioning of either P-223 scope.  The lightweight-but-strong alloy construction will hold up under the most brutal conditions.

The Nikon P-223 riflescopes include the following features:

• Fully Multicoated Optical System
• Provides up to 98% light transmission and maximum brightness from dawn to dusk.
• 100-yard Parallax Setting
• Eliminates parallax for precise shooting.
• Generous, Consistent Eye Relief
• Keeps your brow safe—even with the heaviest recoiling cartridges, lightweight rifles, and severe shooting angles.
• Precise, 1/4-MOA Hand-turn Tactical-Style Turrets
• Positive click reticle adjustments get you zeroed in quicker and maintain your setting.
• Zero-Reset Turret Feature
• To simplify field adjustments, Nikon has integrated this feature into all new riflescopes. Just sight-in as usual, then lift the spring-loaded adjustment knob, rotate to your “zero”, and reengage. Field adjustments are now as simple as dialing-in your subsequent ranges.
• Waterproof/Fogproof
• Nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed.
