Nikon P223



Thoughts? Looks like it retails online for anywhere from $149 to $199.


Caught a closeout and got it for $35.

They had all kinds of shite on a blowout. I got 6" Gerber lock blade knives for $6 ea.

I got a pair of Nikon 50mm binocs for $40.

I got a 3.9.40 Nikon scope for my boy for $55.


They had several Bushnell red dots at various prices but all looked to be WAY under normal retail.


The lady told me that a few weeks earlier they had bait casting combos for $4.50 ea.


I went in there to get a $5 bottle of olive oil and dropped 3 bens...... I told the lady she was gonna get me when I got home.


When I showed my wife what the stuff normally retails at she told me to go back and buy everything they had and we'd crank up the ebay account.

You'll find good deals at Walmart occasionally. I picked up a $200 Primos Truth cam there a few years ago for about $50

I don't personally have one but know a couple of guys who do, and they seem to be pleased with them. I wish there was a walmart around me that had them in stock because I would by it in a heartbeat.

SOB thats a good deal. I like and run the nikons on a few of mine...one on a 270 wsm a M308 on my ar10 and a .22LR on my ruger. They were making them caliber specific like that but idk if they still are. They have the drop dashes that correlate to that caliber and then you can use something on there site for ammo brands if I remember correctly. Been a bit. I have a AR that would love to be on top of...

This one has the ballistics dots on the reticle calibrated for a .223.

I've had a Nikon on my .444 for about 10 years and absolutely LOVE it.

I don't know if they are blowing these out at other WM's or not, the lady had to enter all kinds of codes to over-ride the registers.


I never though I'd mount a Nikon on my rig and have more in the rings than I did in my scope.

About a year ago when WalMart was dumping all of their black guns and accessories I picked up a Busnell AR Optics 1-4x24 for $60 and I thought what was a good deal. Do buy some from other stores, return it there. And when they put them back in stock buy them as they will ring up $35 there.

You should have bought 10. I have teh 3x9 version and I paid $200. It's a great scope for the money I think you will be very happy.

They didn't have 10. They had three and I bought two of them.
