    Nikon has taken the best-selling Buckmaster Series riflescopes to a new level for 2005. They feature sleek new styling with a new ultra-matte finish. Nikon's new BDC reticle can give you the edge you need to determine the correct hold point before taking the shot. Designed for use with most centerfire cartridges, the BDC provides reliable aiming points out to 500 yds, after sighting in at 100 yds. Nikon matched high-resolution lenses with light capabilities up to 92% for bright, clear images. These Buckmaster scopes also feature 1/4"-MOA positive-click (the 6-18 x 40 has 1/8-MOA), hand-turnable recticle adjustments, a new fast-focus eyepiece and Nikon's full-lifetime warranty. Like all other Nikon scopes, the Buckmasters are 100% waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof for a lifetime of hard use. Specific models feature the BDC reticle. All Buckmasters scopes include a package of Nikon's new Fog Eliminator.

    Quality range scope, November 19, 2009
    By Sakosrule from Medical Lake, WA

    "I purchased this scope about 5 years ago for my Tikka 7mm-08. The scope holds its zero rock solid and the images are very clear. The reason I only gave it 3 stars is due to fogging up and staying that way for hours. For the last two deer seasons, this scope has fogged up in the rain, snow and cold temps when I really needed it to perform. I have Leupold's and Bushnell's and they have never given me a problem. Today was the last day of deer season...tomorrow the scope is coming off!!!"

    3X9X40 BDC, November 19, 2009
    By DeadeyesDan from Georgia

    "I compared this scope side by side with a Leupold VX II and could see no difference. Several stores recommended Nikon and said it was the best buy on the market. I fully agreed. Put it on my 7 mag and had it sighted in with 3 shots. I have a Leupold VX III on another rifle and I can't tell any difference in quality between it and the Nikon. I don't think you could go wrong with buying this scope and it is so much cheaper than anything else in its class."

    Nikon Buckmasters 4.5-14x, November 19, 2009
    By lrg04 from Fargo, ND

    "Good optical power and clarity for the price. I have a Leupold VX-II and would give the edge to the VX-II in low light situations but I was looking to save the $50 and try the Buckmaster. The scope is great for the long range shots needed in the open landscape of ND during deer hunting."

    Great scope, November 18, 2009
    By hunthunthunt from Wisconsin

    "Have not used it hunting; however, I have used it at the range a couple times and am very pleased with the performance of this scope. It gives you a large field of view and draws-in lots of light. Unlike other scopes I looked at, it is very easy to adjust the magnification setting with gloves or mittens on. Look forward to using it this Sat (opening day for gun in WI)."

    Buckmaster for life, November 12, 2009
    By Crunch14 from Washington state

    "I was given a Nikon Buckmasters 3-9 scope as a gift a few years ago. After the weather I experienced this season NIKON has a fan for life.
    Deer season brought freezing rain and like a dope I lost my scope covers on the worst day of it. About 5 minutes after wiping the ice off my lenses a nice muley busted out of cover a hundred yards away. Thank god for their wonderful coatings and waterproofing because I was able to drop that runner with the first shot.

    Next came Elk season. A foot of snow dropped over night and I was fortunate enough to have the wind blow what felt like a ton of snow right on top of me. It froze to my barrel right away and my scope was completely encased in the stuff. I wiped away what I could and guess what... Lenses were still crisp and clear! And with the handy knob on the zoom it's easy to adjust when wearing heavy gloves. I'll never buy another brand.

    Bought the 3-9 BDC and what an improvement from my previous scope. I used it Elk hunting and it worked perfectly!

    Nikon Buckmaster rifle scope, November 3, 2009
    By Anonymous from Spokane WA

    "It's Great!!
    I bought a Cabela's Alaskan scope in the bargain cave at the Buda Texas store. When I arrived Back home in Spokane Wa, I attempted to sight in my new Browning .270 WSM which I also bought at the Buda store. I found that the scope was defective. I took the gun and scope to the Cabela's store in Post Falls ID. They replaced the scope with a Nikon Buckmaster at no charge to me.
    I am very happy with Cabela's and the way I was treated. I will buy another Nikon Buckmaster for my custom built .300 Win Mag.

    Nikon Buckmasters scope, October 27, 2009
    By buckhunt1 from Bradenton, FL

    "I haven't had the chance to use this scope in the field yet, but have taken it to the range to sight it in. So far, I am very pleased with the quality/craftsmanship of this scope compared to other more expensive ones on the market. I'll be using this in northern Michigan in a few weeks, hoping to take a nice buck with it. If I had another gun, I would certainly mount another Nikon Buckmaster onto it."

    Disappointed Defective, October 26, 2009
    By kjss from Spring Green, WI

    "I received this scope, a 3-9X40, with great eagerness.
    Mounted it on a Ruger #1 30-06 and started sighting. The optics seemed clear and the scope nice to look at, but right away in the bore sighting it seemed to be arbitrary on the adjustments.
    When I came to shooting, it would not move at times and other times jump 4 inches. When I left it unchanged the groups were random and wide open.
    By that time the barrel was heating so I tried again the next day and with different bullets. Same thing.
    Just to be sure, I mounted an old scope and it walked right in, reasonable groups.
    This of course is only one scope, and any body can make a mistake, but shouldn't they have caught it in the quality checks?
    Cabela's was great of course about taking it back. I asked for a refund, spent too much time and money (shells !) to try again.
    Got a different scope.

    "A great scope that ranks up there with the big names. The zoom, clarity, and craftsmanship are excellent. The extras that come with it are also a plus. Sometimes it is tough to get quick eye alignment, but overall excellent. I have two "Buckmasters" and one "Monarch"."

    6-18x40 bdc, October 4, 2009
    By 65swede from Missouri Hunter

    "This is my third buckmaster scope,the first with the BDC retical & side focus abjective. I mounted it on a Remington R-25 .308 This is definitely a big game only scope at extended ranges the circles are difficult to work with on cyotes at 400 plus yards but is possible.This scope does take away the guess work for bullet drop
    i can hold a three inch group at 400 yards using the BDC Which is the bottom of the second circle for my hand loads. The side focus markings come up short coinciding with correct yardage.This scope has a lot of potential. If seriously considering buying one i would take a good hard look at the sight in and ranging instructions
    provided.If you are not willing to spend the time & ammunition that is is going to be required,you will never know the full potential of this scope. I would have given this scope five stars had it not been for the questioable side focus graduation markings

    Nikon Buckmaster Scopes, September 17, 2009
    By PAReloader from Central PA

    "I own two Nikon Buckmaster scopes. A 3-9 for my Tikka 30-06 for deer hunting and a 6-18 for my Tikka Varmint 22-250. I bought the 3-9 after doing a lot of research. You can't beat the quality of the optics for the price. It was an easy decision when I wanted a scope for my new varmint rifle. I doubt I will ever need the lifetime guarentee, but it is nice to know that it is there."

    NIKON 6X18 WITH NIKPLEX, August 27, 2009
    By shooter636 from JANESVILLE CA

    "I HAD THE CHANCE TO BUY ONE OF THESE SCOPES FOR A 22-250 REM 700 VARMINT. THIS SCOPE HAS BEEN A DREAM. THE WAY I CAME ACROSS THE BUCK MASTER SCOPES, WAS I HAD SAVED MY MONEY A LITTLE AT A TIME UNTIL I HAD ENOUGH MONEY FOR A BIG BOY SCOPE. I WENT AND LOOKED AT DIFFERENT SCOPES, I REALLY DID NOT CARE FOR THE CLARITY OF THE PRICIER SCOPES. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF WALKING AWAY FROM THE SALES COUNTER AND A CABELAS SALES REP ASKED ME WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. I TOLD HIM A GOOD CLEAR SCOPE THAT WAS RELIABLE AND EASY TO USE. HE ASKED ME IF HAVE I CONSIDERED THE BUCK MASTER SCOPE I ADVISED HIM THAT I HAD NOT. I FELT AT UNDER HALF THE PRICE OF THE OTHER SCOPES THAT HAD LOOKED AT, I WOULD BE GETTING AN INFERIOR PRODUCT, BUT TO BE NICE I LOOKED THROUGH THE GLASS AND IT WAS VERY CLEAR AND SHARP. I DECIDED WHY NOT AND I BOUGHT ONE. I HAVE KILLED OVER 25 COYOTES AND NUMEROUS DIGGER SQUIRRELS. I SHOOT A 40 GRAIN V-MAX. WITH VARGET POWDER AND REM CASES. AT 200 YARDS I CAN HIT 1.5 INCH GROUPS ALL DAY LONG; THAT IS SHOOTING OFF MY R.A.S.S BENCH FROM RCBS. I AM CONFIDENT IN THE TACT KNOBS AND HAVE FIGURED OUT HOW MANY CLICKS I NEED FOR THE DIFFERENT YARDAGE ECT. I AM ABOUT TO BUY ANOTHER ONE OF THESE SCOPES THANKS A LOT CABELAS."
