The M-223's large ocular lenses deliver bright, high-resolution sight pictures. Key Features:

This review is from: NIKON M-223 BDC 600 8489 3-12x42SF Riflescope (Black) (Electronics)
Before buying this scope, I must say that I'm very familiar with Nikon's products. The fact that Nikon makes very high quality lenses really pulled me towards their line of scopes while considering other options such as Leupold, Weaver, Swarovski, etc. In the end, I obviously chose this scope because:
1) it listed at a very reasonable price during the time of my purchase;
2) the quality of the lenses are superb and allowed sharp focus;
3) it is an appropriate scope that suited my AR-15 (LMT CQB MRP 16 Piston);
4) the reticle has a bullet drop compensator (very easy to understand as well)

I took it to my favorite rifle range (Angeles Range) to test it out. After zeroing it in along with a shooting session, my jaw literally dropped. This scope is amazing, on my first few tries of using it, I was able to hit the steel targets dead center beyond 400 yards. It made me feel like a marksman at the range and the best part was I didn't have to adjust anything on the scope when I wanted to transition from close to far shots and vice versa.

Pros:
- Excellent value for the money
- Reticle is amazing and ingenious, it has a simple to understand bullet drop compensator which goes in increments of 50 yards!
- Smooth and easy to adjust zoom and focus
- Nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed; minimizes image distortion, no fogging
- Has focus parallax adjustment on the left
- Comes with a two lens caps/covers and also an ARD removable anti-reflective Device which eliminates objective lens glare
- Easy to zero-in and reset the crosshairs back to zero
- Plenty of eye relief

Cons:
- None

Other Notes:
- Made in the Philippines

Suggestion(s)/Recommendation(s):
- Make sure you get this model, the one with the BDC 600 reticle (NOT the scope with Nikoplex reticle)
- If you're going to be using the suggested Nikon scope mount listed here NIKON M-223 743 AR Mount (Black), make sure you lap it (look up "Lapping scope mounts"). It is absolutely necessary that you lap your scope mount before using this scope with your rifle otherwise you can scratch the scope as you shoot since it's not seated in the scope mount properly.

Overall, I highly recommend this scope. It works very well with all 5.56mm/.223 chambered rifles.

Thank you for reading this review.
