    Rifle Scopes Nikon scope help

    James, I'm not sure I understand your problem. From what you have said you are right on track to get dialed in with your scope. Just get where you want to be at 100 yards, pull turret's out and set them for zero. Both turret's. That way if you ever need to trun them to dial in more elevation or...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon M 223 ???

    The eye relief on the M-223 is around 3.75-4 inches. I use the BDC reticle and taught my son at an early age how it works combined with Nikon's Spot ON Ballistic Program.Didn't take more then 2 trips to the range and a cull deer hunt for him to be dropping deer at 400 yards. These are Tx. deer...

    Rifle Scopes nikon pro staff 5

    I have used the Nikon PROSTAFF 5 on a .308 to shoot to 500 yards using the BDC reticle. Even though I have done this many times I am always in awe of how accurate the BDC reticle and Spot On make a rifle. I think it would work well for you, the New PROSTAFF 5 has parallax adjustment and upgraded...

    Rifle Scopes Old man issues with reticle size and help selecting scopes

    Dave, Lots of good info and more detals for you to consider before making a final decision. I have used Nikon's M-308 4-16 Rapid Action Turret/BDC reticle. My choice for hunting is the BDC reticle. I can use Nikon's Spot On Ballistic Program to dial in my ammo choice to my scope and rifle. I...

    Rifle Scopes Anyone have experience with the P-223 for the AR at distance?

    I have put over 2000 rounds under this scope with the my longest shots being to 200 yards. For my 54 year old eyes I need a bit more magnification after that. The being said I have had guys tell me they have popped pigs at over 400 yards using the BDC reticle. I recently put the P-223 3X...

    Looking to spend 1100-1200 on an AR

    I just shot a couple of Tactiko Arms 5.56 uppers last Sat. and they were shooting sub 1 inch groups at the beginning of the day and at the end ( over 500 rounds easily) of the day. I was impressed and they are priced right. I am not affiliated with them in any way. I just know when something...

    Rifle Scopes is there a 300 blk scope yet?

    Thank you B. for the post. I have put over 500 rounds under my 2 P-300 BLK scopes. Shooting out to 200 yards on multiple occasions as well as inside of 50 while practicing for carbine matches. This scope will do it all and for a list price of under $200 I think it's also an excellent deal...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon M-223 2-8X32 Range Report

    Ranch, Nice write up of your experiece with the DPMS Oracle and Nikon M-223 2-8 BDC 600 Scope. I have used both extensively, one day putting 1000 rounds downrange with the Oracle and it never shot less then 1 in. at 100 yards even when steaming hot and dirty. I have used the M-223 2-8 BDC and...

    Rifle Scopes Hello everyone! New with a question about my Nikon M-223

    Hy, Good question and one I have answered many times. I have a DPMS Sweet 16 that I chronographed 55 gr. Win. BST rated at 3240 fps. My result was around 3120 fps at 10 feet from the barrel. I next went to Spot On and checked the trajectory using the Custom Loads section to see what the...

    Rifle Scopes vortex diamondback 3-9x40 or Nikon P-223 on AR Carbine?

    If you are only planning to shoot 200 yards Nikon's M-223 1-4 Point Blank Reticle would be perfect for the use you describe. Zero at 100 yards and you are still right on at 200 yards. Compact size, MONARCH glass and Nikon's full lifetime warranty...

    thinking of trying a different caliber....but which?

    I like the DPMS .243. I use 90 gr. BT bullets for deer hunting and 55 gr. 4100 fps screamers for coyote hunting. Best of all, you'll just need the upper, ammo is easier to find then the 6.5 too.

    IGG - Italian Gun Grease: Any thoughts or user reviews?

    I was given some of the Tactical Spray lubrican and utilized it on a S&W M&P 15/22 that was having feeding and ejecting issues from being filthy. A few sprays in the mag, worked the charging handle a few times and we finished with no more problems. That's as far as I have gotten on using the...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon M 308

    I have been using one on my Remington 700 AAC .308 for a month now and thus far I am impressed. Obviously the M-308 Mounts will not work with the bolt action set up, but the med. Warne mounts I have work great. I haven't taken this rifle past 200 yards yet but will next week. I use Nikon's Spot...

    Rifle Scopes NIKON Scope on POF 415?

    March., There is no reason one of Nikon's AR scope's won't serve all your needs. From the M-223 1-4 Point Blank Reticle to our M-223 4-16 BDC or Rapid Action Turret Scope. I have been using these scopes by choice long before I started doing any work for Nikon. Drop me a note if I can help you...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon P-300 BLK 2-7x32 scope

    P-300 blk C., Nikon's P-300 BLK is built on the PROSTAFF platform. PROSTAFF scopes have proven themselves over and over again for many shooter's in many situations and conditions. I have them on a deer rifle, 22LR's, AR's and even a muzzle loader. They will do the job you ask them to do. Is...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon P-300 BLK 2-7x32 scope

    Ax, You are correct. I have the P-223 3-9 BDC 600 on my LMT 5.56 and it does all I have asked of it. I use Spot On to dial in the exact ammo I use to my scope. I have P-22 Scopes on my DPMS bull barrel M&P 15/22's. I think you will be very happy with the P-300 BLK once you get your hands on one...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon P-300 BLK 2-7x32 scope

    Ax., This is going to be one heck of a scope and a great deal too! I have been all over the P-300 BLK 2-7x32 BDC SuperSub since first seeing one at Shot Show. This scope has the rapid action turret for shooting Super-sonic ammo (115-125 gr) and then the BDC reticle for when you get your hands on...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon M-308 BDC 800

    Greatbrook, I am surprised you didn't get any manual's as well. The manual Ord sent you will work for that scope. Sight in as you would at 100 yards, lift the turret up and turn it to 100 and push it down. With a BDC reticle, you would turn it to 0 and push it down. Then turn the windage to 0 as...

    Re: Nikon M308 Brian, Great pic. While I haven't put a round under a M-308 I have enough friends who have and truthfully,I have not heard anything negative about the accuracy and ease of shooting this Nikon Scope. I have a LMT .308 just waiting to get under one of these. Don't forget if you...

    Re: Nikon P-223 3X32 BDC Carbine Scope Mounting rec Scotty, Great pic! DD makes great rifle's and the scope you added should provide you with some great shooting. I'm hoping you'll see some QD Mount's from Nikon in the future, I just don't know if it's the near or distant one!
