Nikon BDC Riflescopes and Spot On Technology – OpticsPlanet.com

They have the spot on app in both the App Store and google play. Everything is preloaded, so you can use it, even if you're in airplane mode. It also works with weatherflow's wind meter which plugs into your headphone jack. Make sure you silence your sound though, because once you click fire, it'll make a gunshot sound. You also can use a slider to input what magnification you are using. Whatever you put in, it will tell you how many inches left or right to aim for windage, and where on the BDC to line up for elevation. Freaking awesome piece of tech.

You can also convert everything to meters if you so wish.

The experts have the scope mounts backwards right out of the gate lolol

I have been using SpotOn from the Nikon web site for the last 9 months from a Mac 10.6.8 and Windows 7 computer.  The program appears to have numerous bugs and I have been unable to match my actual ballistics with its predicted points of impact.  A good example of one of the bugs is when you are in the "Graph Trajectory Screen" if you enter a new bullet weight for "Load B" or "Load C" it has no effect when you push the "Show Graph" button.  Push the button at the bottom of the page to send them a comment.  After you type your comment on their form and push send button you will get an error message that your mail system is setup wrong.  Too bad Nikon can not get this to work, their optics are outstanding but you will not be able to use their ballistic marks unless you go to a range and record their spread at every 100yds.  

In this video you say ' hold over ', what do you mean.  I'm finding the process a little hard to understand… newbie.  So, if the chart shows the 3rd circle is the one you want, do you put that circle on the target?  Or, do you adjust the turrets to zero somehow to that new distance and then use the first circle.  I'm thinking the former is correct, but the documentation that came with my P300 Blackout is misleading.  Thanks!

The application is good for the military and the police. I hope "bad" guy's never find out about it.
As far as the concept of sport and competition I thing the BDC system is an infringement and can ruin the shooting sports altogether. I mean a 7 year old can now be as good as a sniper. So where's the sport in shooting now?
Soon, very soon cars will drive themselves. Soon I can visualize a captain  using a master control device, setting up all the shooting parameters for all his men. They are only used to carry and hold the rifle. No need to learn marksmanship. Thanks a lot Nikon. Oh wait, can we all now envision 2 million Chinese running down Alaska and through America with these devices. No need to train them at all.

Are the m223 and m308 BDC scopes only suitable for the AR platform? I have 5R milspec remingtons in 223 + 308 and was considering these scopes.

whats the best BDC scope for a 7mm Remington mag??

If I ever have to use a computer to hit my target…..I'll quit!

Been using my Nikon prostaff 3×9 40 BDC for over a year now. Spot on software! Alot of guys on my range ask about my Nikon and how I am easy putting center mass hits downrange at 300m targets (SW m&p sport 16"). They cant believe all the info is on my phone (s4). I call my Nikon scope a "poor mans scope vs a Leopold scope". Having a BDC Nikon saves me time & ammunition. Clear glass, easy knob 1/4" configs, water & fog resistant. Bought mine on Amazon for $168 (cant beat the price vs an EOTech/Aimpoint). When a bad guy gets hit by an XM855 he doesn't ask what type of scope the shooter was using (or where the nearest hospital is at).

what scope would you recommend for a .223 want to a bit of everything

just ordered one for my Savage .223

I have a dumb question but I am pretty new to using scopes. I just got a nikon scope it has turrets that need a coin to adjust windage and elevation, however it seems like the crosshairs are not moving. I have an old jg higgins scope that you can see the crosshairs move as you turn it.. Anyway on the nikon 3-9×40 if anyone knows why the crosshairs dont seem to move I appreciate it.. Its 1/4moa

For a few hundred yards, the 3-9×40 will be your best bet, and will work for both hunting and target shooting.

Optics Planet ~ You're prices are too high… Sportsmans guide has a way better deal on these scopes.

Its mr clean!

Hello,
Sorry for delay. Yes!

Your article on "How to Choose a Riflescope" helped me make a decision on my first .308 scope. It was very handy to have a comprehensive and brand objective review on all the aspects of scope selection. Thanks!

The Nikon Buckmaster 3-9×40 BDC is en route.

great advice, been shopping for a good quality scope for my model 1917 Winchester 30.06, "American Enfield". not liking the center point scopes, thanks.

can I have a 100 yard zero with that scope and mount on a bolt action rifle?

Range is hot!! Hit!!

thanks for the info.

It won't.

oh would humidity effect the bullet much.

Weather conditions do not factor that much into it. It would have to be large drop in temperature to have effect. So you will still hit the target.

so do you have to get the weather conditions every time you use spot on . im just wondering because if someone is hunting and get the weather conditions during the morning hunt and are still hunting until the afternoon will the bullet trajectory be off target?

Congrats! How do you like it?

Nikon did use all the weather conditions present that day on their Spot On ballistic charts and print outs.

did you put all the atmospheric condition information?

I ordered me one of these while i save up for my NF scope. mounting it on a REM700SPS

Sweet….have to get one for my Remington 700 308 Varmint Rifle…
