Congratulations on your choice of a Nikon P-223 Riflescope. Your new scope is the finest example of Nikon’s rugged and durable construction and precision bright optics; important qualities for a serious shooter’s rifle-
En
scope.

Whether you use your scope for hunting or for target shooting, the procedure for mounting is identical. A set of high-quality steel mounting rings which have a standard diameter of 1 in (25.4 mm) are required to mount
the scope. Follow the ring manufacturer’s instructions for mounting procedures. After mounting the scope on your rifle, follow the procedures for reticle alignment.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOUR NIKON RIFLESCOPE IS MOUNTED PROPERLY AND THAT CAREFUL CONSIDERATION BE GIVEN WHENMOUNTING YOUR NIKON RIFLESCOPE ON A FIREARM.
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOUR NIKON RIFLESCOPE BE MOUNTED ON YOUR FIREARM BY AN EXPERIENCED, REPUTABLE GUNSMITH.
THE USER ASSUMES ALL RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY FOR HAVING THE NIKON RIFLESCOPE PROPERLY MOUNTED TO A FIREARM AND USING THE NIKON RIFLESCOPE PROPERLY.
ALWAYS CHECK THE CONDITION OF YOUR MOUNTING SYSTEM PRIOR TO USING YOUR FIREARM.
Caution
(1) Do NOT look at the sun through the riflescope. It will permanently damage your eye. This precaution applies to all optical devices, such as cameras and binoculars.
(2) The riflescope is effectively sealed against moisture and dust. You may use your scope safely either in the rain or in dusty climates. To preserve the appearance of the scope, we recommend that it be dried and
cleaned prior to storage. Use a soft cloth for cleaning metal surfaces and use photographic lens tissue to clean the scope’s lenses.
When setting the reticle for hunting, you should determine your standard range and then adjust the reticle based upon that target distance. For targets which vary from that standard distance, according to personal
preference, you may simply adjust the position of the reticle in relation to your target, or you may wish to use the procedure for trajectory compensation.
We hope that you will enjoy your new Nikon Riflescope for many years to come. Enjoy using it, and above all, always follow safe shooting procedures.

3. Instructions
(1) Focusing
1 Look through the eyepiece with your eye positioned about 4 in (10 cm) away from the eyepiece to see either the BDC Carbine reticle (Fig. 3-1), or the BDC 600 reticle (Fig. 3-2), depending on your purchased
product.
Be sure your eye is positioned with proper alignment and with proper eye relief, otherwise the view will “black out.”
2 Point the objective end of the scope at the sky (do NOT point it at the sun) or at a plain unpatterned wall.
3 Turn the eyepiece adjustment counter-clockwise and then turn it clockwise until the reticle appears sharp.
BDC Carbine reticle
Fig. 3-1
BDC 600 reticle
Fig. 3-2
BDC Carbine reticle
This reticle allows the shooter to quickly and accurately engage targets out to 600 yd (548.6 m) with the
speed needed to match the AR Carbine’s versatility and mobility. The reticle is designed for a 200 yd (182.9
m) zero, with the first hash mark below the center crosshair representing 400 yd (365.8 m) and the second
hash mark representing 600 yd (548.6 m) using a 55-grain polymer-tipped bullet with a muzzle velocity of
approximately 3240 fps (987.6 m/s).
BDC 600 reticle
Developed specifically for the trajectory of the .223 Rem./5.56 NATO round with a 55-grain polymer-tipped
bullet (3240 fps (987.6 m/s)), the BDC 600 reticle offers shooters unique open circle aiming points and
hash marks from 100 to 600 yd (91.4 to 548.6 m). Refer to the BDC 600 section of “Guide to using the BDC
Reticle”.
