Nikon M-223 Honored With Field & Stream "Best Of The Best" Award

The Nikon M-223 2-8x32 rifle scope was put through a vigorous test by a Field & Stream panel of judges and awarded "Best of the Best" for 2010. The staff of testers agreed the M-223 is innovative and the absolute best in optics.

Recognizing the popularity of AR rifles, Nikon has developed a new line of rifle scopes built to deliver extreme speed, accuracy and shooting confidence. The M-223 line offers five new rifles scopes, all engineered for the .223 Rem./5.56mm NATO round with 55-grain polymer tipped bullet with a muzzle velocity of 3240fps. With Nikon's latest reticle and adjustment technologies, the M-223 integrates the same level of quality as the flagship Monarch rifles scopes.

"Field & Stream's "Best of the Best" recognizes outstanding products in our industry, said Jon LaCorte, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Nikon Sport Optics. "We are thrilled our M-223 Series was selected as Field & Stream 2010's "Best of the Best."

The 2-8x32 is available with Nikon's all new BDC 600 reticle or the Nikoplex reticle with Nikon's new Rapid Action Turret system; both are ballistically matched to the 223 Rem. round and offer unprecedented speed in dialing-in your shots for virtually any known distance-from 0 to 600 yards.

The M-223 2-8x32 comes standard with Nikon's Anti Reflective Device (ARD) to eliminate objective lens glare. MSRP is $349.95 for the 2-8x32 with BDC 600 reticle and $329.95 for the 2-8x32 with Nikoplex reticle.
