This scope is designed for the .223 round fired from an AR-15 rifle, however you could use it for .243 by simply recalculating the BDC markings using a ballistics calculator.

Great scope at a great price. Often on sale and sometimes comes with mounts as well. Good quality and works great for the AR platform. I’ve got these scopes in variable and fixed power and have never been disappointed.

I would have rated it five stars but I haven't used it yet.The scope is a beauty! It has a rugged feeling to it and it is very light. As I said, I haven't tried it on the rifle but the view is clear and refined.

Product Info for Nikon P-223 3-9x40 BDC 600 Rifle Scope
The Nikon P-223 3-9x40mm Rifle Scope 8497 is an effective variable zoom rifle scope for everything from range shooting to tree stand hunting. These powerful Rifle Scopes from Nikon Sport Optics are equipped with fully multi-coated optics that, together with the 40mm objective lens, create a light transmission rate of 98%; this is the ideal light transmission for low light situations like sunrise and sunset, when animals are the most active. Nikon has equipped the Nikon P-223 3-9x Variable Zoom Scope with a patented BDC 600 reticle, which gives you unique open-circle aiming points and bullet drop hash marks from 100 to 600 yards. Not only is the Nikon P-223 3-9x40mm Scope accurate, but it is also comfortable to use, featuring an extended eye relief that will stand up to heavy recoil. Adjustments are made via tactical-style windage and elevation knobs that can be turned by hand, and with Nikon's Zero-Reset functionality, all you have to do is dial in a range, line up your shot, and take down your target. O-ring sealed and nitrogen charged, you won't have to worry about rain or snow getting in the delicate mechanism of your Nikon P-223 Rifle Scope, since it's both waterproof and fog proof. For a variable zoom scope that is highly accurate with any load-out, pick up the Nikon P-223 3-9x40 BDC 600 Reticle Scope - and get your rifle on target.
