That looks really nice. I put a Nikon Prostaff Rimfire 4x32 ($109 from Optics Planet) on my 15-22 recently. Very nice, and the Nikon Spot On program for these scopes is useful and fun to play with.
Take this for what it's worth since this is the first rifle scope I've ever owned. I used Nikons as a professional news photographer. Their cameras and support were always first-rate. So far it looks like their scopes are too.

I did the Prostaff too in a 3-9x40 BDC 150 flavor. I like it a lot and also very new to me. Only about a 100 rounds so far and playing with it. I do like the little zeros on the down to compensate for Bullet Drop. Got it for $170 at my local shop.

I have two Nikon ProStaffs, 4-12x40mm's, one Nikoplex (fine duplex) reticle then I got a BDC (bullet drop compensating) reticle.

Basically after a year of my brand new Remington 597 sitting in the closet on the floor, I decided to drop some dough on it to get it the tender loving care (and work) it sorely needed. After the VQ parts I added a scope, having read many good things about Nikon ProStaffs on here and say The Firing Line etc , and finding it on sale on MIdwayUSA from $200 to $160 I thought, it looks like a grreat price for a nice riflescope.

I liked it so much i got one for my Savage Mark II ...Which is the GXP model, extremely classy looking like a real deer rifle. Vs my 597 which was OD Green synthetic stock, now has a camo spray painted striped Rustoleum finish... much modern looking semi auto suburban sniper rifle. But BOTH are SO AWESOME with their Nikon ProStaffs 4-12x40mms and worth the price extremely high value.



I have an Aimpoint Micro R-1 for my 15-22, but I am seriously considering getting an additional scope, the P22, for my 15-22 and giving my M930SPX shotgun the Aimpoint Micro full time. Thats how much I love these ProStaffs. I know its not the top of Nikon's lin in fact its the entry level I believe, but its jusy so high i nqual I love thm.

I think it is very smart to get a scope for the MP 15-22 that is specifically set up for the .22LR. With the 50yd parallax setting and the BDC made for the .22LR trajectory, it is an excellent choice. Nikon is a good reliable brand.

The people who get a scope made for centerfire rifles and put it on a 15-22 make a huge mistake and waste their money for an inappropriate scope.

Anybody have experience with these Nikon rings? I'm looking for something a little taller than what I have holding my Prostaff scope now. A Nikon rep told me the distance from top of rail to centerline of scope would be about 1 3/8" with these.

Does it look like the 1 3/8" dimension Nikon told me for height of scope centerline above the top surface of the gun's rail is correct? I have not been able to find a dimensioned drawing of these mounting rings. Thanks.

Thanks, Mike. I think I might just order these. I started out with some cheap rings, which weren't quite high enough, then added a riser, which made it too high. Looks like these might be just right, and definitely tidier and lighter.

Ugh! I bought mine a few weeks before the rebate's beginning date. Think there's any chance of talking Nikon into giving me the 50 bucks?

Gatillo you might try Optics Planet. It's a Nikon rebate that can be used anywhere. O/P has free shipping that might save even more

Looks like the rebate doesn't include the new P22 unless I'm missing something?

Default P-22 great for targets or varments

I am just adding one as we speak. Base on my experience with it's big brother M-223 it is the way to go. Great features and top quality optics. Priced right and free rings ($50.00) at the moment, pull the trigger and buy now! This is the gun (M&P22-15) the Nikon P-22 was made for. Good luck!

Thanks for the clarification. I got one ordered yesterday before the free mount deal ended. Can't wait to get it mounted.

Got one last week from Cabelas for $179 shipped with Nikon rings- mount. What an awsome scope busting clays at 50-75-100 yards using the bdc dots rapid fire. Busting clays at 100 into smaller and smaller peices till I couldnt see them. Bright clear glass worth every penny. Im 100% sold on this scope.

Jim. I just received this scope from Cabelas also, but without the mounts. I purchased it within the promo period and assumed they would include them. I plan on giving them a call tomorrow, but did they just send the mounts with the scope or did you have to include them in your order?

When I called Cabellas I made sure they knew about the free rings/mounts. The scope and mount came in one package, also they said the would have to charge me to ship it. Told them I could get it from optics planet shipped free for the same price and the said they would ship it for free. I would call them they sometimes will have items at diffrent stores and you will get several deliveries for the same order. Cabellas will take care of it, the deal they have includes the mount. If you go to Nikon hunting, you can do the spot on ballistic program and type in your zero, power mag and ammo and get a tragectory print out for you specific round. If you use your i=phone app at the range it will calculate humidity & altitude. Good shooting. Jim

I have played with the P-22 at Shot Show last Jan. but haven't put a round down range under one yet, but very soon I hope! I can honestly say not one person I showed this and the P-223 Scope to didn't want one! Great quality,glass,price and warranty. Hard to beat. Glad some of you guys got to take advantage of Mount 'Em Up Promotion. Just like last year it was a huge success. I hope you guys didn't have trouble finding what you wanted?

Not to really change the subject, but since it kind of deals with this topic, I'll ask anyways. What is the difference between a nikon with EFR(extended forcus range) and the BDC (Bullet Drop Compensation)? I have been thinking about getting the EFR scope, thought I would ask once i saw this topic. Thank you in advance.

Go, The Target EFR will focus down to 10 yards for precision shooting of 22's/Air Rifles. The Reticle is a Crosshair and dot for precision accuracy.
The Rimefire BDC 150 has Parallax set at 50 yards and 1/4 inch adjustments at 50 yards. The BDC allows you to utilize Spot On Ballistic Program to further enhance your accuracy with your particular ammo choice. I haven't tried out the EFR yet but I have an accurate turtle shooter just waiting for one!
Spot ON info can be found at Nikonhunting.com, it's all FREE.
