Scope question Google couldn't answer

Or I couldn't find the answer...

My buddy is looking to buy an AR10 in . 308

He's wondering if his Nikon P233 will work on it.

I don't know if it's rated for . 308.
I couldn't find anything on Nikon's website. It does say it was designed for 5.56 55 grain ballistic tip going 3240fps. Does that mean it's 5.56/.223 only .

I've read several articles on the scope and no one has said anything.

I have one on a 270 WSM

All that means is the reticle has hold overs and drops set at that bullet and speed, you can use it on any caliber gun, the hash marks on the reticle won’t represent the correct drop and stuff with a different bullet

Get the Nikon Spot On app. You can select the scope, then select the caliber and specific factory loads he is shooting. It will do the work for you. At each magnification, it will give you the yardage for that mill dot.

Or they make the same scope in a p308 and m308 model designed for 308

He has the scope and is buying or thinking of buying an AR10 . 308.

Yep, only references the bullet/load to reticle match.. No issue with damage or anything by putting the scope on a larger caliber gun.

The ballistic app will take care of the caliber he wants to use. I think the biggest difference is the p223 is marked for 5-600yrds and the p308 is marked out to 800yrds. That’s at max magnification. Plugged in 308 fed 150grn to both scopes to show diff. Top is P223 2nd is the P308

He’s good he’ll just need to figure what the mill dots stand for is all for a 308
