Boasting Nikon's fully multicoated optical system and innovative adjustment technologies, the tried-and-trusted ProStaff 3-9x40 riflescope offers a superior hunting performance at a price that fits into the budget of virtually any hunter. The scope's optical system transmits up to 98 percent of available light, ensuring maximum brightness from dawn to dusk. To simplify field adjustments, Nikon also integrated a zero-reset turret into the riflescope. Just sight in as usual, lift the spring-loaded adjustment knob, rotate to your "zero," and re-engage. Field adjustments are now as simple as dialing in your subsequent ranges. And hunters will love the patented BDC reticle, which allows them to hold "dead on" at ranges exceeding those previously thought possible. The BDC's unique see-through ballistic circles offer an incredible advantage for long-range shooting, yet allow a normal sight picture for shorter-range shots where the crosshair itself is the aiming point.
Nothing boosts a shooter's level of confidence better than generous, constant eye relief, which is why Nikon provided 3.6 inches of eye relief in the ProStaff. No more rough kickback from heavy recoiling cartridges, lightweight rifles, severe shooting angles, and just plain excitement. Other features include a nitrogen-filled, O-ring-sealed housing that's waterproof and fogproof; support for an optional sunshade accessory for bright, rainy, or dusty conditions; and a quick-focus eyepiece. Offering enough power for the longest shots and a wide field of view for thick brush or timber, the ProStaff riflescope carries a lifetime warranty.
The ProStaff riflescope includes a BDC reticle with see-through ballistic circles. |

Amazing scope for the money,

This review is from: Nikon ProStaff 3-9 x 40 Black Matte Riflescope (BDC) (Sports)
I am very impressed with this scope by Nikon. After months of research, I decided to go with Nikon because of the lifetime warranty, BDC reticle, SpotOn online ballistic software, and quality optics. After realizing the new ProStaff has all the features I wanted in the Buckmaster and possibly better optics to boot, I was sold. If you are like me and want a high quality, mid-range scope for hunting and target shooting without paying more than your rifle, you will not be disappointed by this impressive piece of optical engineering.
My eye is not calibrated, but Nikon says this scope has 98% light transmission and I believe them. The glass is incredibly bright and sharp. My binoculars and spotting scope appear terribly inferior to this scope (I kept checking for dirt/dust). The scope focuses and zooms easily. Sighting in is a piece of cake thanks to the turret reset capability. Ample eye relief allows for an easy, comfortable, and flexible stance. I've shot friends'...Read more

This review is from: Nikon ProStaff 3-9 x 40 Black Matte Riflescope (BDC) (Sports)
Couldn't be happier with this scope. For the price, it's the best. I'm a retired federal officer with a first place marksman trophy. I leveled this scope on my Remington 700 .270 and site it in on my ranch. It was dusk and raining. Bulls eye every time at 100 yards. Zeroed at 100 yds and went back to 200 yards. I used the BDC mark for 200 yds, Bulls eye right on the X. Incredible.
Visibility through the glass was clear as my naked eye.
I use nothing but Nikon products, cameras, scopes, etc. I know what scope I'm buying for my next rifle...NIKON Pro-staff.
NOTE ---> If you order scope covers from Optic Sale. Be aware that their size chart is totally wrong. This scope uses cover sizes...# 19 and # 31.

This review is from: Nikon ProStaff 3-9 x 40 Black Matte Riflescope (BDC) (Sports)
This is a Great scope for the money. The optics are very clear at all magnifications and the BDC reticle is easy to see. You can go on Nikon's website and download their app ($5.00) or use it for free. The free version requires you to input your information every time you access the software, a bit of a pain but it is free.
This scope was very easy to zero. Firm, positive clicks on the turrents and very accurate. If it says 1/8" or 1/4" at 100yds, believe it!
I will be looking to replace several other scopes I have with one of these.
