Nikon 4-16 (223 specific)

[mnoland30]

I bought a used Nikon scope because I heard they had a lifetime guarantee. The reticle broke. Turns out you have to have the warranty card and receipt and be the original purchaser. Still shoots o.k., if you know which side of the reticle to use.

Ordered a Nikon 4-16 223 BDC reticle (at his request) (side parallelax), store pickup for a customers Savage 223 Model 16 bolt rifle, went through the mounting, set and lapped the rings and levelled and mounted the scope and the scope would not zero, in fact, it was at least 50 moa off in elevation and maximum rotation. I'm scrathing my head so of course I dropped in another scope and it was just fine....

It went back but a royal PITA. First time that ever happened to me, hopefully, the last time.

Not a Nikon fan but the customer is always right. It came from Cabelas and it returned to Cabelas, hopefully, some one else don't get it, Cabelas is good for that.

From what I understand Nikon no longer in the rifle scope business. My experience with Nikon ain't good as well.

You are aware that Nikon stopped making riflescopes in 2019 and no longer offer any service on them, yes?

Does. Anyone have experience with tract optics.

I have one so far. And it has really nice glass. I haven't had it long. And not much time to play with it. But I am happy so far.
