New Nikon M-223 Riflescopes Purpose Built For Your AR
Melville, NY –-(AmmoLand.com)- Recognizing the popularity of AR rifles, Nikon has developed a new line of riflescopes built to deliver extreme speed, accuracy and shooting confidence.
The M-223 line offers five new riflescopes, all engineered for the 223 Rem./5.56mm NATO round with 55-grain polymer tipped bullet with a muzzle velocity of 3240fps.
With Nikon’s latest reticle and adjustment technologies, the M-223 integrates the same level of quality as the flagship Monarch riflescopes.
“The recent surge in AR-type rifle purchases means there is a new group of customers out there learning just how much fun owning an AR is,” said Jon LaCorte, senior product marketing manager Nikon Sport Optics.
“We’ve built the M-223 family to help them enjoy and use their rifles no matter if it’s for competition, varmint or predator hunting or just plinking fun.”
All of the new M-223 riflescopes feature Nikon’s famous fully multicoated optics, up to 95% light transmission, waterproof/fogproof/shockproof performance and lifetime warranty.
Designed for AR carbines and popular 3 gun competitions, the 1-4×20 with Point Blank reticle features an extremely large exit pupil for low light performance and a super wide field of view.
The all-new Point Blank reticle technology means incredibly accurate and fast shooting from zero to 200 yards thanks to thick reticle posts and purpose-designed 3-MOA center dot for instant targeting on paper or steel plates.
The 2-8×32 is available with Nikon’s all new BDC 600 reticle or the Nikoplex reticle with Nikon’s new Rapid Action Turret system; both are ballistically matched to the 223 Rem. round and offer unprecedented speed in dialing in your shots for virtually any known distance—from 0 to 600 yards.
The big brother of the M-223 lineup, the 3-12×42 with side focus parallax adjustment lays down a serious power range for your most extreme shooting. For long range shooting speed and precision, this new riflescope helps take full advantage of the performance of the 223 Rem. round—from zero out to 600 yards. Available with Nikon’s new BDC 600 reticle or the Nikoplex reticle with the all-new Rapid Action Turret technology.
Additionally, the 3-12×42 and 2-8×32 come standard with Nikon’s Anti Reflective Device (ARD) to eliminate objective lens glare. MSRP for the M-223 family is $279.95 for the 1-4×20 with Point Blank Reticle, $349.95 for the 2-8×32 with BDC 600 Reticle, $329.95 for the 2-8×32 with Nikoplex reticle, $449.95 for the 3-12×42 with BDC 600 and $429.95 for the 3-12×42 with Nikoplex reticle.

well said stiel tod. its nice to see a knowledgeable post.
IF you have to ask that question then you have know idea of how BDC's work and no clue of about long range shooting. BDC's adjust for fixed data at a fixed range in relation to a particular round's elevation changes at set distances. Windage is up to the shooter. Your dope depends on that weapons actual performance with that ammunition. BDC's do not compensate for "your" weaopn. Your concern for spin drift or Magnus Effect, is variable depending on the direction of the wind, causing the round to travel high right or low left. When someone figures out how… Read more »
this is awesome amazing new technology from who else nikon. But making a big deal about these scopes from 0-600 yards is a cool claim but the bdc600 reticle does not calculate for spin drift. a .223 bullet at 600 yards has at least 3feet of spin drift does the rapid action turret scope adjust for drift or is it simply elevation??
