How well does the bdc match up in your experience? Please include ammo type and barrel length.

I shoot factory a d reloaded 55gr fmj's, haven't done much testing beyond 100yds, but what I have done has been accurate. Scope is clear and focuses well throughout magnification range and has had no issue holding zero.

I agree with other comments, the BDC is calculated for .223 not .270. The bullet weights are so different between the 2 calibers, (40 to 75 grains compared to 130 to 150 grains on a .270) you can expect from 2 to 5 inches difference in bullet drop at 500 yards. I would suggest a different scope as well, Prostaff is a great choice.

Absolutely!! I'm getting 1.0" groups at 35 yrds free handed. Through the chronograph, I averaged 743.7 fps with a spread of 24 fps, which equates to 17-18 FPE. That was with 10 shots. Great pellet!!

I've read around 150 feet... not quite sure. mine is being shipped as we speak. I'm still wondering what kind of barrel is best besides the stock. What size, What brand, etc is what I'm interested in. I love to have more than 1 barrel at my disposal. idk, that's just me tho.

Well the BDC on this scope is set for the default m185 Full metal jacket 55gr Nato round. Yes barrel length will make a difference. You can either reload your own ammo and develop a load that works with your barrel to make the proper velocity or you can enter your ammo specs in on Nikons site and it will give you range adjustments for the dots on the BDC600. I recommend loading your own to stay true to the distant marks as much as possible. I load Hornady 55gr and ran a chronograph shooting different loads till I found the right mix. I have 20" 1/7 BCM match for an upper. Also get the mount for this scope makes mounting a breeze. Well the BDC on this scope is set for the default m185 Full metal jacket 55gr Nato round.

We'll Develin, Nikon doesn't make a bad optic product (Even though I use Canon glass for my camera). So no matter which one you choose, I'm sure you will be happy with your decision. As far as the BDC feature, I understand why you would question the wisdom of having it on a .22. My thinking is that not having BDC is not a deal breaker but having it for only $10 more is not a bad thing either. You probably won't use it a lot but having it might be an advantage from time to time. Good luck and good shooting.

It should work fine if you are shooting short distance i.e under 300 yards. The BDC will not be correct for yardage 200 to 300 because of several factors. I hope this was helpful.

I found the gun to be very accurate at about 23'. However the fixed sights were terrible. In my case, it caused the gun to shoot >6" low at the 23'.I added a red dot sight, and quarter size groups are now typical through 2 1/2 clips (~40 shots). I am shooting RWS Superdomes (preferred) and RWS Diablo Basic.

Bought mine on sale 2 yrs ago at Wally's. Came with .177 and .22 barrels. Easy enough to check - just open the box!...Recommend you replace scope. I swapped for a Barska 2-7x32 Air Gun Scope. EXCELLENT pellet gun for the money, especially with a better scope mounted. Really nice wood furniture too. Using wadcutter pellets, I can hit a bottle cap mounted SIDEWAYS - OFFHAND at the 10 meter competition distance on a regular basis!!! To the reviewer who said it was a piece of junk - suggest he read the break-in period info and practice a little more. :-) Performance smooths out at about 300 rounds during which time, I found that wadcutters work best for mine - YMMV.

I bought it for my squirrel slayer: a T/C Contender with a 10" inch .22lr barrel. it did pretty good but I'm into open sights lately. reserving it now for a .357 mag revolver, time will tell if it holds up. the rings are medium height. Would not suggest for a heavy recoil gun, might work ok on AR type.

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.

I personally love the Burris Mac. No problem with it yet. Put about 1000 rounds through my .556. I like the fact that I can also use it as a red dot and switch to long distance. Also if battery dies you can still see the reticle. No need for back up sights. Hope this helps.

I hope your using a 1000+ FPS break-barrel pellet rifle... If your still struggling to place accurate shots maybe its time to upgrade... I think you'd appreciate a Remington 870 Express 12 Gauge. My 2 cents :)

I have the gas piston version and it runs them out at around 750 fps..my only problem has been the thumb hole synthetic stock which broke...can't wait to finish my new home built stock....its a great and very hard hitting beast.

I recently built a 300 blackout for my daughter and mounted the Nikon P-300. Shooting Jamison 300 AAC Blackout 125 Grain Sierra MatchKing Hollow Point Ammo I could not get acceptable accuracy. I zeroed again at 100 yds with Barnes 300 AAC Blackout 110 Grain Tipped TAC-TX with good results and consistent accuracy at multiple aiming points for distant targets using the BDC reticle. Bear in mind that the BDC reticle in the P-300 is in the second focal plain so the magnification should be at it's highest setting when using the BDC. Nikon's "spot on" ballistic calculator is a great tool to help tune your spcific load to your aiming point. Hope this helps.

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.
