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.
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 bullet drop compensating (BDC) reticle provides fast, simple aiming points for various shot distances. |
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

Better than expected quality,

This review is from: Nikon Buckmaster 3-9x40mm Scope (Sports)
From both my professional viewpoint as astronomer and as avid amateur photographer with 40 years of experience - optical qualities of this scope are better than expected, particularly when one has price point in mind. Image is crisp and aberration free with great contrast. I have yet to see how it behaves in harsher environment but mechanical feel of controls also instills confidence. Definitely quality deserving Nikon brand reputation.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nikon Buckmaster 3-9x40mm Scope (Sports)
The item is advertised as the BDC(bullet drop compensating) reticle. The one that was sent is the cheaper version called Nikoplex.
After taking it to Cabela's for bore sighting, I went to the gun range for sighting in the scope.
After firing a few rounds to get a group starting at 25 yards then to 50 yards etc. I was stuck at the 50 yard target. it was firing to the left by about 2 inches. I made 2 clicks to the right and it still fired into the same group, I made 2 more clicks and nothing.....after 16 clicks, still nothing. The windage is not adjusting at all.
I talked to Amazon.com and they said that because it was no longer in new condition, they couldn't do anything for me. No exchange, no return. I recommend purchasing from somewhere like Cabela's where they would exchange it on the spot even 90+ down the road even with no original packaging.
**update...after fighting back and forth with amazon, and this review, they agreed to do a one time...Read more
