azhuntnut Report post Posted August 13, 2010 I got a new Nikon M223 rifle scope yesterday and got it mounted up and went out this morning to get it sighted in. Only took about 12 shots and I had my AR dialed in. I like the fine crosshair and how the ballistic chart is set up for every fifty yards. It also comes with the Anti Reflective Device that threads onto the end of the scope. Nikon also offers an M223 scope mount with 20MOA built into it, so I used it also. My plan is to take it out and stretch it out a bit to see how well the ballistic chart works. I am using Winchester Ballistic Silvertip 55 grain bullets. Nikon told me this is the ammo they used when they were building the scope. They shot very well even though there was a 20 mile and hour crosswind. David Here are the specs on the scope. http://www.nikonhunting.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bonecollector Report post Posted August 14, 2010 I was just looking at these scopes on cabelas website. They are on sale and there is a rebate from Nikon. Whats the difference between the M223 and the coyote scopes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azhuntnut Report post Posted August 15, 2010 These scopes can be used on any .223. You just need to use 55 grain bullets, or if you have a short barrel, then I would try 50. The M223 is different the Coyote. The M223 allows you to be more accurate by using the new BDC with slash marks every 50 yards. The coyote can be used with any caliber. If you are going to use the coyote, go onto Nikons website and use the Spot On program to find out where you bullet will land inside of the circles. It works very well and has several functions.

Unclerez Report post Posted November 5, 2010 I bought a 223 w 223 mount and was sighting it in at 25 yds and had to click 180 clicks to rt on windage. Actually bottomed out on rt windage. The scope was leveled and really am freaking out. Love the scope just can't figure the issue w windage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
