Nikon Unveils New P-223 Long Range Riflescope With Dual Ballistic Compensation

Nikon has expanded its line of precision optics for MSR platform rifles by adding a new magnification to the popular P-223 riflescope.  Now available in 4-12×40 with BDC 600 reticle, the new P-223 makes any AR rifle more effective at longer ranges. The P-223 4-12×40 comes in matte finish and is built with Fully Multicoated lenses.

For the first time, one riflescope provides a choice between two different methods of bullet drop compensation. One way to compensate for bullet drop at long ranges is by using the BDC 600 reticle with open circle aiming points and hash marks from 100 to 600 yards. The BDC 600 reticle was developed specifically for the trajectory of the .223 Rem. / 5.56 NATO round with 55-grain polymer tip bullet and is most effective when used with Spot On™ Ballistic Match Technology. The other way to compensate for bullet drop is by using Nikon’s Rapid Action Turret system that allows shooters to dial in their distances and hold the BDC reticle’s horizontal crosshair directly on the target.  Distances as far as 100 to 600 yards can be dialed in, making the Rapid Action Turret system a quick and easy option for long range shooting. There is now an added feature on the new P-223 that makes field adjustments easier than ever before.  Read more
