I bought a 7mm WSM and mounted the Nikon on it. Excellent long range big game setup. I went a different direction with big game. Put the scope in a Nikon M-223 mount as my Daniel Defense 16" AR will shoot MOA with match ammo. The rails are marked when R&R the EOTech and the Nikon making the switch a two shot check when changing optics. The eye relief is combat generous making the Nikon brutal while thinning out hetds of wild pigs. No need for special turrets as a 210 yard zero is perfect for the style rifle and the mil-dots are perfect at known distances. I compared the Nikon glass to my IOR Valdada. The Nikon holds it's own until light conditions get VERY low. It's not a Valdada, but my Nikon didn't cost $1700 and gets the job done VERY well.

Rated all 5s due to value for the price. There are better scopes out there but not at this price point.

Great scope for the money took it to the range after mounting it on a 300 win mag. zeroed in in a few shots. Bright clear scope. Planet optics is great to order from FAST service and has everything you need.

Amazing sight for the money. BDC reticule works just like they promise. I don't have a lot of experience shooting long-range rifles, but this scope lets me hit a 300 yard 12" target each time with my Savage .308 Weather Warrior. Next scope will be Nikon but with a little more magnification. Eyes are getting old!

I put this scope on Vanguard Sporter in 308. This is my son's first gun. He and I sighted the scope in on weekend. He zero'd the gun in at 200 yards. Final five (5) shot group was within center target @ 1.5". He's ready for elk hunt next month. I own four Nikon scopes and all perform great.

This is great scope. It has great low light capabilities and the BDC is great for determining bullet drop. Use the Nikon Spot On software at nikon.com to get custom information on most of the factory loads available. Highly recommend.
