NIKON Scope help...

Ok, I bought a Nikon P22 scope from gander mountain. Upon getting home, i noticed the factory seal was cut already. So I made sure the scope was in the box and sure enough it was.... Well, upon mounting it, I noticed that the top turret was for 1500-1640FPS as it is enscribed on there. Looking in the manual, it states that only the Nikon P22 with the NIKOPLEX reticle comes with this particular turret. The Nikon P22 with the 150BDC turret which is what I have should come with another Turret for a velocity of 1100-1200fps. Unless I am reading the manual wrong, I think I got screwed! Here is the scope I have. (http://www.gandermountain.com/modpe...t/details.cgi?pdesc=Nikon-P-22-Riflescope-2-7x32-Matte-BDC-150-Reticle&i=611074)
Anyone have this scope? If so, am I missing a turret?

I got (2) 1200-1300 fps turrets with my 2-7x32 Nikoplex I purchased last spring! Nikon is apparently not to careful when they pack these things up. I didn't really care because the windage and elevation scales are calibrated in 1/2 minute of angle (1/2 inch at 100 yards, 1/4 inch at 50) so I just zero the scope and count the clicks, the distance marks are going to be different by some for each gun anyway.

I actually scored two P22 scopes for Xmas. Both are the BDC model and have the 1500-1640 turrets installed. I've emailed Nikon but I read the manual and thought the Nikoplex models came with both and the BDC only comes with one. Though it doesn't say which one. We will see what they say. My first thought is the circles and cross hairs on the BDC are extremely fine and hard to see. Is that the case while actually shooting?

My P-22 2-7X32 BDC 150 Rocks !!! I printed and laminated a card that has all of the ranges for all of the magnifications on one business sized card. (From the Nikon SPOTON app) Great app by the way :) After the first few weeks I quit using the card as I have memorized the settings. I have also shot the Nikoplex. I like the BDC better because I can acquire the target much quicker.
