AlDente67 563 Posted December 3, 2013 http://www.cabelas.com/product/Nikon-P-223-Riflescope/1330873.uts?avad=48247_b57fd1af&WT.mc_id=al35987&rid=12&WT.tsrc=AFF#productChart The 3x at $99 seems like a decent deal. But is it better to go with the 3x9 at $149? The 4x12 is a bit out of my budget. Any opinions? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BullzeyeNJ 104 Posted December 3, 2013 For what rifle? The reticle has a bullet drop comp meant for an AR15. I would get the 3-9x zoom for the extra money if I was buying it for an AR15. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlDente67 563 Posted December 3, 2013 A Stag 15 is the intended recipient. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJdiverTony 27 Posted December 3, 2013 I would go with the 3-9x... The extra $50 is worth it, to get the ability to zoom in or out, depending on the distance you're shooting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vladtepes 1,060 Posted December 3, 2013 i run a 3x9 on my AR in 308.. it is what I would choose also.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
siderman 1,140 Posted December 4, 2013 I'm no glass fashionista but I have the P223 3x9 on my AR and its a good scope for the price. And for $50 the ability to zoom is great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RUTGERS95 890 Posted December 4, 2013 p223 does get good reviews but I've never used one. I have a friend that has one and his is crystal clear. I only use the Vortex and Leupold lines for scopes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackDaWack 2,895 Posted December 5, 2013 For what rifle? The reticle has a bullet drop comp meant for an AR15. I would get the 3-9x zoom for the extra money if I was buying it for an AR15. It has the Nikon BDC carbine reticule, the BDC reticules can be used with anything, you just need to go to the spot-on program and have it calculate out all the hash marks from zero. The scope is actually kinda a joke in terms of how the reticule is set up.... 200 yard zero with 400 and 600 yard marks... yeah ok with a 3x? I would use the spot-on calculator, zero for 50 and let the computer tell me what ranges the hash marks fall on. Good scope otherwise... nothing better for the price. Your magnification is completely up to you.. do you want more zoom power with the added bulk? or a run and gun 3x? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
