Designed for long range accuracy, the new Nikon P-223 is a new rifle scope that claims to be at the top of the list of quality glass for the AR-type rifles.

The P-223 is a 4-12×40 variable scope.  It uses the Nikon BDC 600 reticle, has a 3.7″ eye relief and uses the company’s Rapid Action Turrets.  The scope weighs in at 17.5 ounces.

The Nikon P-223 is both waterproof and fogproof.  It is available in a matte black finish at this time.  Camo patterns may be available later, but that will likely be based on sales and demand.

MSRP is $249.95.  The scope is backed by Nikon’s lifetime warranty.
