Never showed the 400 yard shot with the BDC. What's up with that? Did it fail or what? I am interested to know.

@itsafrakinsamsquamch

Unfortunately, some of the tape was too sketchy to properly edit. If I recall, the 400 yard shot was achieved after 2 "practice shots" ;)

Why is he using a different rifle for every set?

@altops

I was at the Nikon M-223 Challenge in this video. All of the rifles in the video are set up by Nikon with different scopes, for many people to use. It was just some fun to help test the new M223 scopes

will this scope work with a 270windchester rifle?

i bet thats a sweet scope. but no offense. i know the rings you're using to mount it and those things are shit. i have invested the extra money, bought a leupold mount and it's perfect. i can reccomend it.

does it work good with a 223 bolt action?

I wrote to Nikon about mounting one of those on my AR that had the handle. They answered me the very next day saying it could not be done, it wouldn't work, etc. I don't think the Nikon guy knew the word "Parallax" but he assured me it wouldn't work. So right here in the video of the Nikon shoot at 3:19, what do I see, a good old handle mount just like my weapon. I had the scope in my hand today at Cabela's and got the same crap from the sales boy. They need to comunicate!!!

i agree, it's a decent system.

in my other posts to this video i mentioned that i meant to be bitching about the difference between 1:12 and 1:9 twists for early and later ar barrels.

however, my real problem with it is that bdc values in the scope need to take in to account barrel length, bullet weight and powder values as well.

bdc values are not universal.

there is also too much difference in point of impact between 1:7 and 1:9 twist barrels for me without a scope adj.

[nominalvelocity]

@tapper45 Why would you need to re-barrel to shoot 55gr vs 62, 70, 75, 77 or even 80gr? 1:9 twist has 40-65gr covered, and 1:7 or is great if you intend to shoot up to 80gr... But 1:7 will also shoot 55 grain bullets decently.

Secondly: yeah the BDC is optimized for 55 grain bullets, but it works acceptably well for other weights, that's why they chose it. They also have a web applet which will tell you the BDC hold-over for ANY cartridge and bullet combo.

It's actually a pretty decent system.

y are the scope rings so high
