Hi Rich,I use it on a bolt action 223, for coyote's, and it works just fine.

Yes it is designed for specifically for a .223 round, once dialed to match target at 100 yards, scope is set for 5.56 or .223 velocity and drop. Each bubble below is for 100 yards further. Mine words great.

Yes this scope is designed specifically to be used with a .223 rifle. However you can use it with any rifle that you want to mount it to.using the Nikon Spot on program online, you can find any BDC info for almost any ammunition that you shoot. I love this scope. I've hit targets @ around 600 Yards with my .223 because of the ease of using this scope

It's designed for the .223 55 gr. polymer tip load. P-223 if you get the scope use nikon's spot on technology. Take the guess work out

Yes it is and it is 4-16x40 with the red/green range cross hairs. I liked it on my 30-06.

The model I got is specific to the AR15 magazine .223/5.56. There are other models for other magazines / caliber rounds.

In my case, I used these rings to mount a Nikon Prostaff 4x12x40 mm scope and I used them to mount my Nikon Buckmaster 3x9x40mm with the BDC with no problems.

You can download the nikon "spot on" app and check out how different loads match up using the BDC....its great and printable. I love that scope and utilizing the "spot on" app really helps better dial it in based on ammo using or if you ever decided to put it on a different rifle. But realistically depending on the ammo use its all about the fps as well as bullet weight and coeffocient, but download the app first and you will see what I mean. Enjoy

I agree with Adam that this would be a great scope for an AR but the P223 was designed with the 5.56mm in mind. I think the P223 would be better suited for your needs because the BDC (bullet drop compensator) on P223 is designed for the AR shooting .223/5.56.

My scope is mounted to an FN FAL C1A1 in 7.62x51/.308. The BDC for this scope is for 5.56/.223. The 7.62x51/.308 matches the trajectory of the 5.56/.223 fairly close out to about 500 yards. This scope would only BCD a 7.62x39 at best for 1-2 hundred yards. On my AKS Polytech and my SKS-D i have a 4x32 scope. A scope on a SKS has to be short enough so the cartridges can expel without hitting the bottom of the scope or objective lens of the scope. If the scope is over/above the breach the spent cartridges will hit it on ejection damaging the scope.

My answer is the same as Chris's. The front sight is not visible looking through my Nikon P-233 scope.

No, it is second focal plane.http://www.millettsights.com/resources/shooting-tips/calculating-mil-dot-reticle-holdovers/

The P-223 scope is more of Nikon's entry level AR scope, where the M-223 scope is the same quality as their Monarch line. Also, the P-223 has no manual parallax adjustment and the M-223 does.

Going with the BDC will be easier for you, especially when you utilize Spot On to dial in your long range accuracy. I have the P-223 3-9 BDC 600 and love it. It sit's on a .223 AR. Nice thing with the BDC is, zero at 100 and then use the BDC circles as your aim point to make accurate shots. I have used to to shoot soda cans at 500 yards. Obviously the M-223 4-16 will give you greater magnification and a shaprper image, but the P-223 3-9 is still one heck of a scope.

Hey J R I am glad you saved yourself some grief. The scope in question is for 22lr rim fire stuff with little recoil if any. I get scared when I handle the scope ruff as i got a bad one out the box that would not zero. Better to get the ones made for ,223/5.56. Nikon makes scopes for those caliber guns with a BDC reticle

No it's a precision AR scope for shooting.223 hope this helps my son has a Nikon BDC long range on his 30.06 and it works very well

No. That is for an illuminated model with the "firedot" reticle. Somebody put the wrong picture up.

The one I purchased is BDC and I like it very much. Don't know what the "Nikoplex reticle" is all about.Nobody Poofreads any more.
