The Nikon p223 3-9×40 review its a low cost scope filled with features found on much higher priced models. The p223 comes with the Nikon BDC (bullet drop compensator) reticle.

Those donuts on the reticle suck ass. I just got the new p tactical with mk1-moa reticle for 180 on ebay. Suck it bitches
zero at 50 and you projectile will cross your zero at 50 yards and 200 yards, hold about 1/2 inch low at 100 yards.
Love the glass but the 3rd time I took it out my windage turret fell off the scope $@#*! Any one else have this problem?
I'm getting this scope with the m series mount for my aero ss 18 in 223 wylde upper cant wait
was real happy with mine until third time out of the case. scope had maybe 150 rds thru it, pulled rifle out of case and was shooting high right. It would not hold zero, and after about another 100 rds the front o ring was falling out. make sure you keep your warranty card and receipt, you will need them for warranty. guess that cuts down on their warranty work
Which would you suggest for a dpms oracle the 3×9 or the 1×4 for general purpose set up?
I have found the Nikon to be outstanding on the AR's and bolt actions. I don't give a rip what round it is calibrated for, I always use my "come ups" when shooting from 200 to 600 yards. The glass is good and the adjustments are spot on. Yes, I shoot often, almost everyday. The joys of being retired and owning my own range! Also, no bipod shooting, all slinged up, I'm a former
High Power competitor and current Appleseed Instructor. Good review!
Aaaaahhhhhhh?????? Yeah……
Have you guys put this on any type of ar? I'm specifically looking to see if those rings are high enough to clear an ar with a front gas block.
a bargain at Cabela's. Got it in the budget range ready kit which includes a wind meter and mounts for $199 on sale
The scope is awesome, I got the Nikon P223 3×32. nice vid thanks
I also have this scope and have it mounted my Windham 5.56, I have had no problems with it ever being off target after i had it sighted in. The scope is a great deal for the money no matter how or what your shooting at. Thanks for the cool videos guys great job.
I own this scope, and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. Its mounted on a Windham 5.56, and holds zero perfectly. Great scope and everyone that I have let shoot through it loves it.
Love the vids! Ken, you look like my buddy's twin brother! He's built just like you, height, weight,etc. Former Army M.P. I got him to check out your channel. Keep 'em comin' guys!
Mine doesn't seem to have a bdc… does Nikon make a 223 without it?
I subscribed to the channel and just want to say this video fuggin kicks azz! Covers every real world question I would possibly have as well as future questions I would ask myself once I've had the scope on my rifle for an extended period. Hoorah and keep em' coming.
Would this be good for home defense or would you recommend a red dot scope for home defense?
Thanks Ken and Scott. I trust your expertise. Learn a lot from you guys!
Do you know the sight height for the 3-9×40 on an AR with p-series mounts? I've read 1.5" as well as 2.5".
Thanks for the review… Would this be a good optic for me to use for a deer hunting scenario in 300yds or less?
Great Video, liked the formatting, delivery, detail, etc. Subscribed… Please keep it up!
i bought a kit for 575$,,,,did a few mods (trigger job, accuwedge, 4lbs hammer spring and no slip hammer and trigger pins) total 32$ got the scope for 159$ on sale………total 766$… with 7$ ammo federal 55gr 223 american eagle it shoots .90 moa at 100 yards….love the scope
This scope is not for a fucking ar15 it's made for a fucking bolt action it's made to be mounted 1.5" above the bore and the Bdc corresponds to a bullet traveling 3,240 fps with a poly tip… Guess what? Only hornaday makes that gay shit and its EXPENSIVE, its all calculated using a 24" barrel which is not common at all for an ar15… They even put an at on the box. The engineer who produced this false advertising needs their fucking ass whooped. Buy something else.
How does this scope compare to the Leupold VX1? I am trying to decide which one to get.
Mine is ordered for an AR build I'm doing this month. Can't wait to try it out.
Would I be able to use the circles and dashes if I zero the scope for 50 yards?
Have had this mounted on my 20 inch target AR for about a year now. This thing is great the glass is great and unbeatable at this price point. This scope has many features that makes this thing a real high value purchase. This allows me to break small clays at 100 the. Go back and break the pieces up further. It's so clear and allows me to get supreme accuracy out of my AR. The BDC works really great as well and with the Nikon spot on App it's so easy to just aim and shoot.
Everywhere I looked for it I found it for $180 plus and I went to Walmart to poke around and got it for $89. Super hype to get it mounted Friday!!!
just got one but have not mounted it yet!!!
bought one last year and I'm happy with it
Good review. I may have to look into getting one some time. Like the app.
