is this a bdc scope? What sort of reticle does it have? ooking for a scope for my 22. Not sure I like the litle circles, prefer lines to circles.

I actually returned it before I tried it. I went with a leupold. The Nikon was to big and bulky, Leupold was small and slim

This is a BDC scope. Standard cross hair with circle going down the bottom half of the post. It's designed to work with Nikon's "Spot on Technology" an app you can use to get exact yardages based on ammunition and zero distance. I have this scope on a 10-22 and it works perfectly.

I ordered the scope because it is a cheap 12 power scope, and I am satisfied with it's performance. The BDC recticle is compatible with .22lr ammunition. Go to http://spoton.nikonsportoptics.com/spoton/ and you should be able to get the information you need to use with a .22lr. Nikon also makes several rifle scopes designed specifically for .22lr. Hope this helps, good shooting!

I can't answer this truthful. But it is a very solid scope. It's been on my 223 and I've had no problems. But where I like this scope best is a highly mod 22lr. I shoot to about 400 yard with this scope with Warne rings and it holds true for years. I really like this scope. It's very clear good at low light the numbers for all the knobs glow in the dark. One thing though it doesn't come with metal dust caps anymore, even though the add says it does. Hope this helps.

No. This scope is made for the AR platform. The BDC knob is calibrated for a 55gr .223

Hi there, the mil-dot reticle is very fine and is black without being illuminated. It has gradients of one and a half. Full dot then a small line to indicate the half mil dot. When powered it is green and there are several levels of illumination. It can be turned either way so you can turn to the brightest setting with one click or opposite and illuminate it gradually with each click. The clicks on this and the turrets are good and solid, ideal if shooting with gloves. Just to add the focus ring on the left side is large but very easy to adjust for maximum clarity. I have been a photographer for over thirty years and always use high end lenses. The scope is heavy with lots of glass which is a good sign to me. The clarity is excellent and I would compare this to an expensive Nikon lens for a professional camera. I'm extremely impressed with its build and will be hunting and putting it to the test in a few weeks. I like my cameras and I choose only the best lens (glass). So far it has met my standards very well. I have checked out some of the overly priced scopes and this one feels as though it is made to last where others feel like they should be mounted on an air-rifle; light and flimsy. The high end scopes I have looked through did not match this scope in anyway shape or form. Good clean crisp vision equates to good clean crisp and precise shots. Great value for the price. A little blurred at full sixteen power but is easy for me to handle. No scope is totally perfect across the board. So far it has my seal of approval. Will update after the hunt if you would like me to do so. Stay safe and well BruceM

The BDC is not etched in glass. These scopes are calibrated for 5.56/.223. You can see more pictures of this and other Scepter scopes at our website. We will work to add this to our Amazon listing. Thanks!

Thank you for your asking. This model scope has three type of recticle:Mil-dot, Chevron, Horseshoe, show as picture. And the list item's reticle is Chevron. If you chose other reticle,you could search B008PXIX08 B00BCTSBKY in Amazon.Thanks

The BDC is on the lower post, allegedly set for M193 ball, zero at 200 yards, additional horizontal crosshairs for 300, 400, 500 and 600 yards. MilDots on the principle horizontal and upper vertical crosshairs. I use a heavier match bullet load, so I can't affirm the accuracy of the BDC.

I have two of these. One mounted on a S&W; M&P; 10 (.308) that I've swapped the flash suppressor out for a muzzle brake. Has 18" barrel. Normally shoot Sierra 168 grain HPBTs in hand loads. Last outing I was getting sub-moa results. Have the other mounted on Armalite AR-31 (.308) with 24" barrel. Have shot better than 1/2 moa with the same hand loads. I never worry about the BDC feature since that is pretty dependent on using specific factory ammo. I can wing it on longer shots pretty easily. Great scopes.

Well kind of. I has 4 mil-dots with a short horizontal line across the center of each dot. Don't quite know the object of the horizontal line, maybe just a Tasco idea. But a very nice scope.

I think in general is great, I can't answer your question about eye relief. I mounted mine on a 22-250 which has a different recoil. This scope has the TBX reticle which is customized for 55-grain loads in .223 Rem. sighted-in at 200 yards. The bottom post is marked in 100 yard increments out to 600 yards not in mil dots. The top post does have mil dots which can be used to estimate ranges. If I had known this I would have purchased a different scope. The scope also has a 30 mm tube not 1 inch.

I sent mine back. I didn't like the scope at all. I would look into Mueller scopes. You can get a 24x or 32 x for a few bucks more. I have these relatively inexpensive scopes on all my asault rifles Remington 700 and .22 rifles. They are great. Look into them, do a little research. Hope I helped you out. If can't get them here try optics planet.

Hi Stephen - The BDC is calibrated for the M855 (62gr.) through a 16" bbl. Which is weird because the TA-31 series are calibrated for the 14.5" bbl the mil. uses. If you're concerned about using M193 (55gr) w/this optic, your worries are unfounded; this optic will deliver tight groupings using either the M855 or M193. If you're ''on the fence'' about this particular model, jump off that sumbitch and get it; I prefer the TA01NSN over my other TA-31s (A4 & M4 RCO models).Any other questions, don't hesitate to drop me another note...Best Regards, Timp.s. I also have an Elcan DR Specter and I'd still grab the AR w/the TA01NSN sitting atop it; it's built like an Int'l. Harvester...

One of the reasons for paying extra for the BDC is to not have to turn and either count or look at the clicks on the turrets. There is also a model with a smaller objective lens. The smaller the objective, the lower the light gathering. I set up mine with an American made Weaver look through mount set up specifically for my pre 1985 Ruger 10/22. No need for rails and sighting took one shot, and that was only to move the POI two MOA.

Gold ring: No. BDC: Yes. This is a fine optic, I have it on my go to rifle. Super!

Hello Carol, My limited experience with the scope so far has been great, but I'm using it on an AR hunting rifle. It works really well as advertised. I would consider it fine for use on either the M1A or 700 tactical applications with no expected issues. My only recommendation would be to to order replacement BDC elevation dials for your specific or favorite 308 Win/7.62 NATO loads. The AR scope typically comes with the .223/5.56 dial calibration. You can order replacement dials from Leupold's Custom Shop, I got one for my 6.8 SPC hunting load. Hope this helps!
