The product appears as described. The directions for sighting in are easily understood. Fits nicely on my H&R 20 gauge ultra slugger. Still trying to find the perfect slug for this gun/scope combination.

This 3-9x40 Nikon Slug-hunter sits atop a bullpup 308. I wanted a very durable scope, and believed that this scope, which was meant to be used with a slug-slinging shotgun, would be durable enough. So far there have been no issues, and I do not anticipate any. The glass is very clear, sharp image, and the BDC is easy to use; although it will be specific to your firearm/caliber combination. The price seems high for a 3-9, but if it is durable enough to outlive a hard-kicking firearm, then it is money well-spent. I do recommend this scope.
