The P-223 3-9x40 features the patented Nikon BDC 600 reticle and tactical-style turrets with Zero-Reset feature to simplify field adjustments. It’s popular and versatile magnification range makes it the ideal optic for a wide range of AR platforms and uses from range work to hunting applications. The 3-9x40, like all Nikon AR riflescopes, is optimized for use with Nikon Spot On Ballistic Match Technology. Spot On allows you to discover all of the exact aiming points on the BDC 600 reticle for your exact ammunition and load.
Developed specifically for the trajectory of the .223 Rem /5.56 NATO round with 55-grain polymer tip bullet, the BDC 600 reticle offers shooters unique open
circle aiming points and hash marks from 100 to 600 yards.
Provides up to 98% light transmission and maximum brightness from
dawn to dusk.
Eliminates parallax for precise shooting.
Keeps your brow safe—even with the heaviest recoiling cartridges, lightweight rifles, and severe shooting angles.
Positive click reticle adjustments get you zeroed in quicker and maintain your setting—even with repeated recoil.
To simplify field adjustments, Nikon has integrated this feature into all new riflescopes. Just sight-in as usual, then lift the spring-loaded adjustment knob, rotate to your “zero”, and reengage. Field adjustments are now as simple as dialing-in your subsequent ranges.
Nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed.
