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

You don't have to buy USA for a quality optic, January 15, 2012 By Ian
Dollar for dollar, Nikon beats Leupold hands down. This is a seriously nice rifle scope for any hunting rifle that shoots within 400 yards. The optical clarity is very good and the side parallax knob and target style turrets are welcome features.
I have mine mounted on a Savage 17 HMR and plan on buying another for a 30-06 Remington 700 once funds are available.
Be sure to save some money for a quality set of scope rings. Leupold bases and rings are strong and not too expensive.

I was looking for a good scope with good magnification clear optics and no parallax issues and repeatability on adjustments. It works great on my Wetherby .17HMR. Thanks to Amazon I received it fast and for the best price anywhere!!
Great Scope- can take the abuse!!, December 7, 2011 By A
Put this guy on my Mk14Mod0 and it holds up just great! Love the Mildot. I have yet to take it out past 100 Yards but so far everything looks very clear and bright. Easy to dial in and great eye relief!
great scope, October 3, 2011 By Tom
I have mine on a savage model 10 LE with the HS precision stock... ie very accurate rifle so I didn't want to put an unreliable piece of glass on it. I can't justify a 850+ dollar optic for the little shooting I do so I found this scope and have been very pleased. I love the mil dot reticle and side focus. The turrets give positive feed back and have proven to be precise. This is the cheapest scope I've had that I have confidence in it a) not breaking, b) holding zero, and c) that 1 click truly equals 1/4 inch at 100 yards. As a side note, I put the tall turrets on it that Nikon put out for the monarch and they fit perfectly, from the turrets to the covers.
Great Scope, August 23, 2011 By Hanale
I have brought Nikon Products and have owned several scopes. The optics is great and I received the scope really quickly, I would recommend this scope.
Great scope!, June 27, 2011 By Merlin "magic" (Ogden, UT)
Last year I purchased a similar Nikon scope in 6-20X40 for a Remington rifle. The scope was great. The rifle sucked. So when I bought an AR15, I needed another good scope. I bought this 4.5-14X40 Nikon Buckmaster and the M223 ring mount through Amazon, and the combo has worked out beautifully at a very decent price! The diopter at the rear of the scope dials in clarity, and the side focus works like an adjustable objective lens. I couldn't be more pleased. Great quality! Great light, especially for this low price and having only a 40mm objective lens. Highly recommended!
Excellent quality scope, June 13, 2011 By Herbert Garrison
I love this scope. Had a budget of $300 and after a lot of research I had it narrowed down to the Buckmasters 4.5 - 14X or a Monarch 2 - 8X. Chose this one because I wanted the magnification to shoot at greater distances.
I mounted it on my brand new Weatherby Vanguard .223 as a medium range small game rifle combo. Bought aluminum Talley rings to go with it. Took it out, zeroed it, and shot a 5 shot, .75" group at 100 yards. Click adjustments are tight and solid, and it has held zero perfectly. Set it, put the covers back on the turrets, and forget about it. Eye relief is good. The sight picture is very clear and bright with no distortion around the edges. I love the BDC reticle, but have yet to use it for shots past 100 yards. Cons are that the zoom ring is fairly stiff and requires a lot of rotation; and the scope design is not for the tactical, dial-in each shot type of shooter. If you are a holdover kind of person like me, get this scope with the BDC reticle and you will not be disappointed.

Wow is this scope is crisp and clear. I compared this Nikon Buckmaster next to the comprible Leupold scope and I did not find such a significant difference to justify the double cost of the Leupold. I am very happy with the scope and will be buying another one for my other rifle. Thanks.
Very Good scope for the money, March 1, 2011 By johnha
I would definitely recommend this product, installation and sighting was easy. Good fit and finish. Not really a complaint but an observation, this scope is not as crisp in low light dawn and dusk situations as my Leupold.
Great Low Light Scope, January 3, 2011 By Richard Szkodzinski (USA)
(REAL NAME)
I was researching scopes for a week and was disappointed at the quality of all the scopes that were priced around 200-300 dollars. If you wanted a great scope with awesome optics you needed to pay 500+ or settle for one of the other brands that come close to being great. But you dont need to settle with this scope. The NIKON brand says it all. The scope is a tough little scope. Built well, solid feeling. The controls are perfect with positive click feedback with every minute of angle change. The use of a coin to reset to zero is a nice touch. Any scope that offers reticular focus is typically really expensive, but not this scope.
The best part ... The optics are crisp from 4.5x to 14x and really really bright, feels like a 52mm instead of the 40mm. The eye relief is almost too generous, nearing 4 inches, and the image fills the entire exit pupil edge to edge. The cross hairs are thick as well. No need for additional lighting of the reticle at dusk or dawn.
I would buy this scope for all my firearms I use for 50-100 Yard sighting. You will not be disappointed.
