Nikon has expanded its line-up of precision .308 Win. riflescopes with the introduction of the all-new P-308 4-12x40 BDC 800. The new P-308 riflescope provides shooters with everything they need to hit their target, including a 4-12 magnification, a 40mm objective and fully multicoated lenses to ensure a clear view.

The P-308 features Nikon's popular BDC 800 reticle - a reticle specifically engineered for the .308 Win./7.62 NATO round with 168-grain HBT Match bullet at 2,680 fps.

The P-308 is also fitted with exposed, spring-loaded Instant Zero-Reset Turrets with easy-grip course knurling, which make in-field adjustments easier by allowing shooters to reset their turrets back to zero after sighting-in. This new riflescope offering is waterproof, fogproof and shockproof.

The P-308 is also optimized for use with Spot On Ballistic Match Technology. The Spot On program provides users with the exact aiming points on any BDC reticle for any load or ammunition at a specific range. Spot On is free online at nikonsportoptics.com/SpotOn, and is now free for mobile devices including iPad, iPhone and Android platforms.

The suggested retail price of the P-308 4-12x40 BDC 800 is $249.95.

Like all Nikon riflescopes, the P-308 is backed by Nikon's Limited Lifetime Warranty.
