On the Amazon site, I did a search for the Nikon M308 BDC version.. How can I ensure I get the BDC version instead of the other reticle?

Make sure it is the BDC and not the Nikoplex version. They are very different. When in doubt, save till you're sure of what you're getting.

It'll say "BDC" instead of Nikoplex, but you'll probably have to find it from a different source.

4 X 16 X 42 BDC 800It is very close to the same price , it is a M308 4x 16 x 42 BDC mine came with the mounting rings (the 223 did not) I have the M223 on my a r15 and it is great for that rifle. I said P308 originally, it is a M308

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, Tim p.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...

Yes, I would say so. With the ability to use their website to determine the distance for each shot on the BDC models, it would work extremely well.

Hi Xander :) great choice on the Surge,it's my EDC and I love it,I also purchased it from Proto Sales as you appeared to do.they were excellent with me,the price was the best hands down (51 dollars cheaper than Home Depot etc).I asked them the same question and they werent sure,but yes I did recieve what is listed at the bottom of the page the 830278 updated model,the one in the picture is slightly different,you can watch videos on YouTube to see the differences,the old model was great and this one is even better! I sent and called Amazon and have been asking them to update the picture,hopefully they will and If your experience is like mine you will get the 830278,one way to tell is the old one had a diff. model #,you can try and email proto Sales if you want,but you should be allset,hope it works as well as it did for me and your new surge is very useful and enjoyable!

You can email to me. I send a pic of the reticle to you. It's more convenience for you.

Their are more differences than the reticle. The 4x is really pushed being asked to see a target at 100 yards. So you need the higher magnification past 100. At that range the BDC starts to be useful. 25 to 100 yds 4x, 75 to 200 9x. So the reticle comes with the scope magnification you want; dictated by the range you want to see across.

Wish I could give you a good answer I but have no experience with your rifle though it is reputed to be a great one. Did find zeroing mine mounted on an M&P; AR 10 was a piece of cake! I bore sighted @ 25 yds then within 5 rounds had a perfect zero @ 100 yds. Have not done any longer yardages but am eager to see how well BDC measures up. M-308 is my 3rd Nikon tactical scope...I think a great bang for the buck! Good luck on your decision.

We are working with Amazon to fix the incorrect image, this should be the black pistol - they are having trouble removing the incorrect image for some reason. The silver should be another listing on Amazon.

Yes. It's simple. Nikon includes a step by step guide on how to go online and configure you BDC.

Hey J R I am glad you saved yourself some grief. The scope in question is for 22lr rim fire stuff with little recoil if any. I get scared when I handle the scope ruff as i got a bad one out the box that would not zero. Better to get the ones made for ,223/5.56. Nikon makes scopes for those caliber guns with a BDC reticle

Amazon offers both scopes. Mine is the mil-dot. It has an adjustable brightness illuminated green and red reticle. I like the quick release on it. Worth the money.

I ordered this scope and received the BDC reticle although the description read 'nikoplex.'

NO NO NO NO NO!! Nikon's Prostaff, Monarch, and Buckmasters are all DIFFERENT!!! Please people, get this straight! Stop guessing, you are causing confusing and inconveniences. Nikon Chat Room will tell you which one to buy if you are confused! The 40mm applies to the lens diameter, nothing else. Not the size of the objective bell or the thread count or size!

Thanks, here it is a site that has the last driver as I just find out. It is a genuine website, not like all others sending you around the bushes.Do you know by any chance what's the major difference between an optical mouse and a laser one (beside the price)?As far as I know, it is about the surface they are used, the optical being able to navigate on about everything.ThanksDan

I talked to Amazon over email and was told they do not know what is coming in the kit.I talked to Olympus over the phone and was told that there will be a 17mm kit with and without the viewfinder so it's possible that the one Amazon is selling does not have it. Of course there wasn't any way for them to tell me which kit Amazon is getting. The price seems like it would include the viewfinder, especially since Amazon usually has competitive pricing. And I really want to use my prime shipping, but I'm not going to preorder without knowing for sure.

Also I think you can look up bdc conversions on Google. Its a great scope for the money. I've owned quite a few rifle and scope setups and this one on my tikka t3 has been my favorite and most useful across the board so far. Haven't found a use for the illuminated reticle yet but its cool to have.
