Reviews & Ratings for Nikon Slughunter 3-9x40mm Rifle Scope w/ BDC 200 Reticle — 12 reviews — Page 1

I have two of these, one mounted on an H&R Ultra Slug Hunter; one on a Remington 11-87--both 12 gauge. The H&R is my primary hunting gun. This combination is outstanding--one hole at 50 yards. And this translates into the field--I have taken 16 or so deer with this combination at ranges varying from 30 to 130 yards, mostly neck shots, over the last several years. This scope has held zero perfectly through being transporting between Michigan, where I currently live, and southern Illinois, where I grew up and hunt; hours at the range; and hunting in all kinds of weather, including rain and snow. A couple of years ago, I caught my toe on a fallen tree and fell with the gun which landed scope down--a quick trip to the range confirmed that zero hadn't shifted even with that (and have taken 4 deer since then, all one shot kills). This scope is very clear and bright as one would expect from Nikon glass; the reticle is quite functional. Overall, my experience with this scope has been outstanding. I own several optics of various manufacture--Luepold, Eotech, Vortex, Cabelas, and Nikon--and frankly, this scope is my favorite (before I purchased the H&R, I hunted with the 11-87 and Luepold's shotgun scope--took 5 deer with that combination, but replaced that scope with the Nikon because the Luepold wouldn't hold zero even after Luepold replaced the erector assy).

Great scope at a great price. It has very clear optics. I mounted this scope on my .450 bushmaster ar and its bdc reticle is a perfect fit with hornady 250 grain ammo. This scopes 5 inches of eye relief assures I shouldn’t get tagged with this gun recoil.

So far the scope has been holding zero well on my Savage 220. Sighting in was quick and easy and there was plenty of adjustment to achieve a zero. Overall quality is about what you would expect from a scope at this price point. Given the relatively close ranges this works very well. Have only used for one season, but so far the scope is performing well. Never any fog issues or reason for concern. Great match for the Savage 220 using EGW rails and medium height rings. Perfect setup for one of the more popular slug guns.

Awesome scope tracks well love it on my 444 marlin. Easy to mount. Nice piece of glass for deer hunting. Would recommend to any friend looking for a nice piece on a good quality scope. Grab for a in the woods fun, this is not a long range scope by any means but does the job for what it's intended to do.

their not worth the money tried 2 have a Mossberg slugster with a cantilever barrel both ran out of adjustments at 4 inchs low with the 30 mm slughunter so I ordered a 40mm slughunter its 10 inchs low and ran out of adjustment sent them both back to Nikon waiting for any kind of answer I put a way less quality scope on it and zerod it in in 5 minutes

This scope is a great scope and a very high value purchase. I am using it on my Model 37 Ithaca combo gun with Warne Medium Quick Detach rings. I am going to purchase a Nikon Shotgun scope and switch scopes on the same gun when I go from spring and fall turkey hunting to winter shot gun deer hunting in Iowa. My research tells me that these scopes will hold alignment and that I will not have to re-align after I remove then re-attach the scope for the following season. I will check this out to verify. This scope is very clear and I love the Nikon website that we give you the ballastics for each shot gun gauge given the field load used. Combine that with a Nikon range finder and you got some serious science built into your chances in the field.

this scope is way off, sent it back for a replacement and i know optic planet will take care of this problem ! I have the same one on my son"s shot gun and it is spot on !! Great by for the money,you cant go wrong with Nikon.

I purchased this scope for a Savage 220F slug gun with the Savage mount for the 20 gauge gun. The scope works great and has good clear glass. The BDC reticle is great for hold over and getting on target fast.

I love this scope, I currently have 2 of these on both of my 20Ga slug and it accurate every time. Would buy this again if I have another one. It is good for deer hunting as still hunting either from ground or tree stand. Also it have 9x zoom, sometimes I forget my binocular and I can always use this scope as one before you decide to shoot. But of course you need to take it to the range and make some adjustment to perfect zero before you take it out to hunt. Good luck to whom want to buy this.

Typical Nikon, Solid value for a very decent deer hunting scope. Put it on a Savage bolt 20 gauge so it is not getting the pounding a 12 would give it but seems to hold zero well between range sessions. Bright and clear as one expects out of a Nikon. Good value for the money, about all one needs for slug gun hunting.
