Bad experience with nikon p-223 scope mounted using 2-piece nikon p-223 scope rings. - Nikon P-223 3-9x40 BDC 600 Rifle Scope

Mounted scope onto an AR15 platform using the Nikon P-223 2-Piece rings. Setup looks good, and sturdy.

Scope has clear glass, and great field of view. However, I was unable to zero-in the scope at the range.

Using a Lead-sled and targets placed at 50yds and 100yds, I was unable to get consistent results. After several rounds fired through rifle , the shot placements were all over the place. No groupings of any kind. I reached out to the range officers for assistance at the range. We took the scope off the rifle, and checked mounts. Scope rings were reinstalled, and tightened to specs. Placed the scope back onto the rings, and tightened to specs.

This still did not fix the issue. Several folks were assisting me to resolve the issue. No luck. I ended up shipping the scope to Nikon, in which I had to pay shipping costs aprrox $15. The scope was purchase from Optics Planet in Nov 2016, and installed-used on rifle Jan 2017. Scope was new. Very disappointed in the product. Waiting to hear from Nikon.
