Most Helpful Positive Review Nikon M223
Typical Nikon product, great. Very easy to setup and use. It is everything that Nikon promised on their web site. I am using it on a 20 inch AR varmit platform rifle and able to shoot consistant 1/2" groups. If you are looking for a scope for your AR-15 I would highly recomend it....
Most Helpful Negative Review it is a good scope for the money
less than what I expect, it sounds like a super scope in commercial,it just ok for the money but i can spend the same money for a better scope, the turret is not solid, i feel i'm paying all the money for the BDC turret, not the scope. i sold it!!! Pros: bdc turret Cons: glass clarity

Nikon M 223 3x12x42 Riflescope

by THF3, Verified Owner from TN, United States Written on December 27, 2014
Matching the exact velocity required for the exact bdc marks was not really that important. I loaded a variety of different ammunition (none to the exact 3284 fps) and had successful shots past 500 yards. That was more than I hoped for. With a lower speed bullet, simply follow the instructions. I was using cheap varmint bullets and I combined the scope familiarization with barrel break in. For the money the glass is pretty darn clear. An illuminated reticule would be great but for the money it is hard to beat.
Pros:
  • easy to zero and to operate
  • Good weight
  • good visibilty, good clairty at long range
Cons:
  • None
Would recommend: Yes

by hammer, from FL, United States Written on January 15, 2014

Pros: looks great,well made,easy to adjust
Cons: none
Would recommend: Yes

Excellent Scope

This scope has met my expectations. It is a bit bigger than I'd like on my AR, but the clarity is excellent and for the long range shots it does the job.
Pros: Quality, Performance
Cons: Size
Would recommend: Yes

Nikon BDC 600 Reticle

by Legacy Reviewer, Verified Owner from GA, United States Written on July 10, 2013
This Scope is very hard to beat for the price range. I can routinely hit 500 yard metal targets which is not what an AR-15 is designed for
Pros: Accurate, Tough, Great Buy for $
Cons: None

Nikon BDC 223 scope

by Legacy Reviewer, from MO, United States Written on July 1, 2013
Great value in 223 optics performance. Looked at much higher priced Leupold optics and in side by side comparison felt the Nikon consistently provided more clarity in target acquisition and light gathering. This is the fourth Nikon purchased and no regrets from this long time Leupold supporter.
Pros: Brilliant glass and clarity for the money
Cons: None
Would recommend: Yes
