New Riflescope for AR Rimfire Platform, the P-22
OutdoorHub 02.15.12
Nikon’s new P-22 riflescopes are the rimfire-optimized variant of Nikon’s growing line of precision optics for AR rifles. Designed for extreme sighting speed and superior accuracy from rimfire AR platform rifles and .22 long rifle cartridges, the P-22 is offered in 2-7×32 with BDC 150 reticle or 2-7×32 with Nikoplex reticle and Nikon’s Rapid Action Turret system.
Nikon P-22 riflescopes feature tactical-style turrets with a Zero-Reset feature and are parallax set at 50 yards. Positive, ¼-inch MOA at 50 yards and tactical hand turn reticle adjustments provide positive click feedback to get shooters on target with speed and confidence. Featuring fully multicoated optics for extreme brightness, the P-22 provides incredibly high light transmission for most light conditions.
Developed specifically for the trajectory of the .22 long rifle rimfire round, the new BDC 150 reticle offers shooters circles, dots and hash marks from 50 to 150 yards. It includes tactical-style turrets with Zero-Reset feature to get zeroed-in quicker and maintain settings – even with repeated recoil.
The P-22 2-7×32 with Nikoplex reticle with Rapid Action Turret technology includes two different sets of tactical style elevation turrets for Standard Velocities (1200-1300 fps) and Hyper Velocities (1500-1600 fps). Now it’s possible to aim directly at the targets, eliminating the need to holdover by changing distances with a quick turn of the turret.
Available in Winter 2012, the P-22 will retail for $179.95.
