I bought this scope to use for 3 gun matches. I like it very much for a basic scope. Great clarity and brightness, good eye relief distance. The reticle is a little large for greater that 100 yds but great for 100 in to close. Great scope for the money.

Just want to begin with the fact that i am by no means a professional shooter i own a couple of guns and have attached this to my Sig 556. this scope is everything i wanted as a beginner. it is very bright with what i think Nikon claims as 95% light transmission you can effectively shoot from dawn till dusk. very accurate, after my initial zero in i have sent about 300 rounds down range and have made minimum adjustments if any my girlfriend can group rounds within 3 inches at 50 yards using wal-mart ammo. also very solid platform the craftsmanship is top notch and when paired with the Nikon m-223 mount this scope gives you more MOA to play with but since this is a 1-4x20 scope and i imagine most shooters will be operating within 50-300yd range the MOA is not as important as the solid design and awesome aesthetics, but i digress. Awesome buy for the money if you are looking for affordable top notch equipment for .223/5.56 AR style rifle.

I bought this for my Ruger SR-556 AR15. It's my second Nikon scope and I was very pleased. I bought the Nikon AR-15 scope base as well. At the range after a few adjustments I was shooting within half an inch of the "x" in the center of the bullseye at 50 yards. I bought the 1-4X model, so at 100 yards the bullseye definitely was not huge in the recticle (if you're used to say a 3-9x scope), but shooting 1.5 inch groups was still no problem. When I was dead on at 50 yards the shots were about an inch high at 100 yards - EXACTLY what the ballistics chart predicted. Acquisition is very fast - especially at 1X. After about 200 rounds the scope was still dead on, so the scope and the mount are very good quality. If you're target shooting or hunting I'd consider the 2-7x model, but for tactical situations - where acquiring the target is important - I think it would be tough to beat the 1-4x model, especially at this price.

Always liked Nikon products so I may be prejudiced. From my experiences beginning with my old Nikon F through various F series cameras and D series SLRs and lenses, one factor was consistent. Lens quality and superior optical performance.

This 1-4X20 M223 Point Blank scope continues to impress me. Great clarity, accuracy and sturdiness. Fast target acquisition and consistant hits out to 200 yds (probably more but that's the limit I use it for.

Quality all the way, love it.

I owe several Nikon scope, this works great with my new Rock River AR15, I would buy this again if I ever got another AR15...Thanks Amazon for the great price and Nikon for a great scope.

I ordered the Nikon M223 8485 1-4x20 scope and M223 mount and am very pleased with both. The mount and scope were easy to install, and I was able to sight it in at 100 yards without bore sighting first. Great buy and value.

Great all around scope. Good optics and well made. Have it on my Rock River M4 with the RR high rise mount. Sighted in pretty easy at 100 yards.

Great price and fast shipping. This scope has excellent craftsmanship and is definitely well made. Great resolution and accuracy, and great to have at the shooting range. I don't think you could find as fine a scope for the price.

I bought the scope based on the reviews I read about it and because it was guaranteed to be delivered before my 3 gun match. I got it on Tuesday, sighted it in and shot my match on Friday. Great scope, super clear and easy to figure out. I would like to see some kind of lever for the zoom as it was a little difficult to zoom it up quickly. Other than that I love it. Also got the scope ring base that goes with it, and it mounted with no problems at all.

I am very satisfied with this scope, I bought another w/ 3-12 for my performance center. The best part of this whole purchase was that I got it for a steal. I also purchased the M-223 mount and it's a solid beast of a mount but I am satisfied with it. The glass is clear and the dials are positive. Both Thumbs up!
