Nikon has introduced a rimfire-optimized scope for .22 caliber AR rifles. The Nikon P-22 is designed for speed and accuracy on AR-style .22 rifles.

The P-22 is offered in 2-7x32 with the BDC 150 reticle or in 2-7x32 with a Nikoplex reticle and Nikon’s Rapid Action Turret system.

The P-22 is full multicoated for optimal brightness, is optimized for use with Nikon’s Spot On ballistics software and will retail for $179.95. For more information, go to Nikonhunting.com.
