Amazon.com Product Description

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.

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.

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Nikon Buckmaster 3.9X40 BDC, February 10, 2010

I mounted this 3-9X40 with the BDC on my Remington 7mm using Tully one piece base/ring mounts. Very nice optic and great price here on Amazon. After sighting in I wish I jumped up to a bit higher magnification for using it with a magnum rifle. The BDC is suppose to be sighted in at 200 for it to work the way it should. However with a 3-9 magnification it can be a bit tricky to get it spot on and then consistently placing your shots at 300+ with only a 3-9 can be a little tough. It's definitely a quality scope for the price though.

I put this on my young daughter's rifle, a .17 caliber Ruger 77/17 bolt action. I didn't want her feeling like she didn't get the quality scope her dad has. This being her first rifle, she sighted it in at 100 yds with a 3-shot group of 1/2". True sub-MOA. She loves it and she has learned to love shooting. I couldn't ask for anything more and this Nikon was the way to go. She made the scope adjustments herself sighting it in until her shots were hitting bullseye. It's a great scope, crystal clear, accurate, and easy to use.

This scope is a great buy. The BDC works as advertised. I have had more expensive scopes that weren't as clear as the Buckmaster.
