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.

Vortex Optics adds first focal plane models to its highly successful Viper HS LR riflescope series
A new era of hunting riflescopes.

Vortex Focal Plane Viper HS LR Riflescope

Vortex Optics

Middleton, Wis. --(Ammoland.com)- Always the innovator, Vortex Optics added first focal plane models to its popular Viper HS Riflescope series.

To the users eye, first focal plane reticles expand and decrease in size in a direct, proportional relationship to magnification. This is due to the reticle’s forward placement in the optical system. The benefit of that placement is all reticle sustentions remain constant and useable throughout the entire zoom range.

Translation – Your BDC and subtension reticle references are accurate at all magnifications. That’s right, no more having to double-check your scopes setting when that trophy of a lifetime steps out at distance, everything seems to be happening at once and you want to use your reticle’s drop references – or worse, using drop references on the incorrect magnification setting resulting in a poor hit or miss. It’s basically a failsafe measure.

“Many of our riflescopes built for tactical applications and long-range shooting where time is a critical variable employ first focal plane reticles and the advantages they offer,” said Joe Hamilton, Vortex Optics national sales manager.

“It just made sense to further incorporate them into our hunting riflescopes as an option for hunters who want to maximize their effective range during the types of high-pressure situations they can encounter in the field.”

The new first focal plane Vortex Viper HS models add a new twist to hunting-oriented riflescopes and are sure to turn heads. Reticle images and information are available on the vortexoptics.com Web site.

Available: 4-16×50 LR (XLR Reticle), 6-24×50 LR (XLR Reticle)

American-owned, Wisconsin-based Vortex Optics designs, engineers and distributes a complete line of premium binoculars, riflescopes, spotting scopes, tripods and related accessories.
