Nikon scope and optics planet - Nikon ProStaff RimfireII 3-9x40 Matte BDC Rifle Scope

I love Nikon scopes and prior to this purchase, I had never dealt with Optics Planet. I recently purchased a new Marlin .22 semi-auto. A buddy told me about OP and when I hit their website, they just happened to be running a special on this scope (40% less than Nikon MSRP and 30% less than Cabelas). I took a chance and bought it for this rifle. I had always had others mount scopes for me; however, OP has this wonderful scope-mounting instructional video (38 minutes long) and I decided to try it myself this time. Success! I followed the instructions with only minor deviations and now the scope is aligned, tight, secure, and most importantly, the rifle is accurate. My last 5 shots at 50 yards were within a 3/4" circle. The last 5 at 100 yards were within 1.5" circle. I wish that they would have been closer but I am getting old and decrepit and the accuracy (or lack thereof) has more to do with me than the scope or rifle. One of the best design features of the BDS scope is the set of additional sight circles under the "zero" horizontal cross hair. Hitting the "SPOTON" calculator on the Nikon website, selecting this scope, and inputting my ammunition (.22) and "zeroing" distance (50 yards), I downloaded the data for the zero distance for each of the sight circles at 3X, 6X, and 9X magnification (special hint: a change in magnification does change the zeros). The data was spot-on. No more guessing the drops! Did I happen to mention that I love Nikon scopes? In summary, the product is great, the price from Optics Planet was a pleasant surprise, and the support from Optics Planet was fantastic. I recommend both Nikon and OP 100%.
