lasher Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 i put a P223 on a 20" 6.8 spc and took it to the range today. got it dialed in and it works great on the 6.8 spc. wondering how well it would work on a 308, figure it would work well for awhile but if it would stand up to the pounding?
washguy Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 Lasher I use the m-308's on two of my 308's and they work fine....I dunno what they changed in the 'p' models...maybe cheaper optics? should work though... :) Wash

98Z5V Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) The Nikon P-Caliber scopes are the ProStaff scopes - same exact features, hell the exact same scope as the ProStaff, difference being either the caliber-specific BDC reticle, or the calibrated turrets. The P Series IS the ProStaff. The M Series is the Monarch line. IS the Monarch line. That's the difference. ProStaff scopes hold up to .308 Winchester, and alot more, heavier calibers, all the time. Your P-223 BDC reticle, or the calibrated turrets, will be off on the .308AR. Otherwise, the .308AR isn't going to kill that scope. EDIT - There is a P-308 out now... Edited July 28, 2015 by 98Z5V
survivalshop Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 A P-300BLK also , I've been looking at . <thumbsup>

AngelDeVille Posted July 29, 2015 Report Posted July 29, 2015 I got mine off Amazon for cheap. Very clear glass. Love it at twice the price.
lasher Posted July 29, 2015 Author Report Posted July 29, 2015 i have a 3x9 on a 20" 6.8spcII, and the 3x on a 5.56, just ordered one to replace the 3x on the 5.56. the p-308 isn't in stock yet at optics planet,,,and i may change my mind while waiting. took them both to the range yesterday, dialed them in. happy with the results, they'll do what i want them to do once i move the 3x to a carbine length
98Z5V Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 You didn't even know the difference between the P and M Series scopes. You thought P was 5.56 shiit, based on what you had. The P-308 is out in the wild, and available - if you'd look beyond OpticsPlanet. Here's one more left for you, right now - if you read this. http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-P-308-4-12x40-BDC800-Riflescope/dp/B00SMX8L8A

AZ Dean Posted August 3, 2015 Report Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) I have the P308 on my AR. Fantastic scope for the price. I got it for $200 on sale. Edited August 3, 2015 by AZ Dean
