Nikon has introduced the P-308 4-12x40 BDC 800, adding to its lineup of precision .308 Win. riflescopes. Featuring the brand’s popular BDC 800 reticle—specifically engineered for the .308 Win./7.62x51 mm NATO round with 168-gr. HBT Match bullet at 2,680 fps—the P-308 is also fitted with exposed, spring-loaded Instant Zero-Reset Turrets with easy-grip course knurling. This makes in-field adjustments easier by allowing shooters to reset their turrets back to zero after sighting-in. undefined

Waterproof, fogproof and shockproof, the P-308 is also optimized for use with Spot On Ballistic Match Technology. The Spot On program provides users with the exact aiming points on any BDC reticle for any load or ammunition at a specific range. Spot On is free online at nikonsportoptics.com/SpotOn, and is now free for mobile devices including iPad, iPhone and Android platforms.

MSRP is $249.95. Learn more in this video:
