Questions & Answers
Would this scope be good on a 556 ar15?

It would be BUT the P-223 is suited for the M4 556/223, AR15-223 caliber. Check out the Nikon Spot-On app to see the differences. I have the P-223 3x9 on my M4...very accurate as the reticle is specifically designed for a 55gr FMJBT/similar at 3240ft/sec. I've shot 62gr polymers and SP's that have slower ft/sec but the app adjusts accordingly as you can easily select data in the app based on load out/brand, zero distance and even atmospheric data to show where to aim through the scope. The p-308 is suited for a higher grain, larger caliber bullet (in this cas a /.308 or similar (maybe .270 - .338) that will be slower (more drop) and lower ballistic co-efficience (more ft/lbs, recoil). For instance, I'm thinking of putting this on my 7mm Remington Magnum, shooting a 140-150gr PSPBT at around 2950-3110 ft/sec. The reticle is designed for these bigger rounds, HOWEVER, with the Nikon Spot-On app, you can mix and match virtually ANY size caliber with ANY of the Nikon brand scopes. Seriously, when you can zero at 100yds and subMOA your groups then raise the barrel and point it out to 300 yards and still hit accurately within an inch or two on a 3x9...think what you can do with the extra 3x magnafication on a 4x12?! That's what I'm curious about with the 7MM. Apologies for the tangent, but go with the P-223 and you won't be disappointed.

Purchased this scope for my remington 700 308 but instead put it on my remington 700 22-250. It only took 2 shoots to zero. I then took it coyote hunting at night with full moon and was able to clearly see through the scope with no artificial ligh...
