I put the Buckmaster on my Winchester 670, 30-06, circa 1970. Clarity and light collection is good, once sighted in stays put. It's easy to adjust. My only complaint has been some difficulty getting eye relief and focus adjusted for me and there is a bit of paralax at the immage edges at 9 power. The warranty is awesome. Great value for the bucks. (pun intended)

Mounted the 3X9 BDC on the .450 Bushmaster. Used in conjunction with the Nikon "Spot-On" application, this scope is..spot-on.

This is a great scope that I would recommend to anyone. My only mistake was the fact I should have bought the 50mm instead of the 40mm. Yet I still have a great quality scope for one of my other guns. I will be purchasing Nikon in the future.

I purchase this scope for my Marlin XL7 .30-06 and mounted it with a medium height Dednutz Game Reaper single piece ring and base unit. I am very impressed with the clarity and low light performance. Manufacturing quality is good with no burs, marks, ect. I have not yet used the BDC but the Nikon BDC online program makes it look very simple for most calibers. I am planning on ordering another for my son's new Marlin XS7 7mm-08.

I bought a Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40 with the BDC reticule for a .17HMR rimfire rifle - because it was cheap. I was astounded at the quality and value I got for my money, being used to using high-end scopes and not expecting much. Boy, was I surprised! Anyway, now I have a new .243 out of the Savage custom shop. I put a Leupold Rifleman 3-9x50 on it, but found that I much preferred the 'bargain scope" I had on my 17 HMR. So today I ordered a new Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40 with the BDC reticule for my pricey new custom rifle. One change I will make is to grind off the tacky-looking 'silver' logos on the lens caps. If it wasn't for the tacky turret caps, you'd never know it was an inexpensive scope. - You'd never know by the performance, and that's for sure! Bright, clear, good settings. Can't beat it with a stick.

This scope is awesome!! I have a 30.06 Rem REALTREE APG Green Camo Rocky mountain edition and it matches it exactly from top to bottom. If you seen the 2 together you would think it was a set. This scope is great, I have not taken it out for shooting yet, but I know it will perform like no other. My only problem was I wanted to get the 3-9x50 but to pricey. This scope is a great buy if looking for a top performing scope.

Hunters, here is a way to save some cash on a top-rated scope. Remanufactured by Nikon, it allowed me to save 40 or 50 bucks over the price of a new one, but be aware - it comes with a 90 day warranty instead of the lifetime warranty of all *new* Buckmaster scopes. I did not know that when I bought it, and naively assumed it would have the lifetime warranty. Since its Nikon, it probably will be ok, but since its a remanufactured unit, *somebody* must have returned it for warranty work, so we will see...
