Nikon Brightvue¿ multicoating for up to 92% light transmission

Amazon.com



Nikon's renowned Brightvue multi-coating provides 92% light transmission for outstanding optical clarity.
One of the world's best known optics companies, Nikon Sport Optics, has teamed with one of the nation's most respected sporting organizations, Buckmasters, to produce a riflescope line featuring high-quality optics at an affordable price.

Built to withstand the toughest hunting conditions, these scopes integrate shock-, fog-, and water-proof construction, as well as numerous other features rarely found on riflescopes in this price range. Nikon's Brightvue anti-reflective system of multicoated lenses provides over 92% anti-reflection capability for the high levels of light transmission and optical clarity necessary for dawn-to-dusk big game hunting. After the lenses are cut and polished, Nikon coats them with multiple layers of anti-reflective compounds. The compounds serve to boost light transmission, improve contrast to pull game out of its surroundings, deliver true color rendition and flare-free viewing, and enhance the overall image quality.

The brightest in its class, the Nikon Buckmasters riflescope has a proven track record of reliability, durability, and precision, making it a true hunter's workhorse. The scope is at home on nearly any hunting rifle, muzzle loader, or even rimfire, boasting a rugged, one-inch main body tube, a bullet drop compensating (BDC) reticle for easy holdover out to 600 yards (magnum calibers), and ultra-high-performance lenses.

The BDC reticle is perhaps the most compelling feature, as its trajectory-compensating system is designed and calibrated to provide fast, simple aiming points for various shot distances. The unique system integrates a series of small "ballistic circles" to produce an unobstructed view of the target.

Amazon.com Product Description

The Nikon 6460 1 x 20 Buckmasters blackpowder matte riflescope is a rugged, waterproof, shockproof and fogproof scope. Put through an advanced vacuum process that removes virtually all air and water molecules, the scope's tube is then filled with nitrogen and O-ring sealed. This process ensures that the Nikon 6460 will perform under the most stringent of field conditions without suffering any effects of fogging or condensation.

The precision-ground and polished optical glass is coated with Nikon's exclusive Brightvue coating that allows for 92 percent light transmission, giving you super clarity and high resolution. Manual 0.5 MOA (minute of angle) reticle adjustments eliminate reticle creep or backlash. The scope features a 1x magnification (meaning no magnification) and a large, 20 millimeter objective lens diameter, giving the scope an exit pupil size of 20 millimeters. The Nikon 6460 is a full-sized scope with a large exit pupil, making it an excellent choice for timber, brush and low light.

About Exit Pupil Size
The size of the exit pupil for a riflescope is determined by dividing the objective lens diameter by the magnification rating. The human eye pupil diameter ranges from 2-7 millimeters, depending on the amount of light. For proper light gathering potential, the diameter of the scope's exit pupil must be equal to or greater than the diameter of your eye pupil at the light level you will be using the scope. If you're working in low light, your exit pupil size will be of greater importance. With a 20 millimeter exit pupil, the Nikon 6460 1 x 20 Buckmasters blackpowder matte riflescope is an excellent choice for hunting in low light.

This review is from: Nikon Buckmaster 1x20mm Scope (Blackpowder Matte) (Sports)
I quite like this new scope; very clear, bright and sharp. The only thing that I have to get used to is that the eye relief is so high that instead of leaning firmly into the gun to see through the scope like all my other guns, on this one, I have to pull back in order to get a full view. Not bad, just different. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be different mounts available for my Traditions Vortek muzzleloader that would cure this problem by moving the scope farther down the barrel. Overall very happy with the scope and would have given a 5 star rating if the eye relief was a little lower. I know, it's an odd problem to have with a scope...too much eye relief, but in this case it's true. Just have to learn to change my shooting style a little.
