Nikon's multicoated lens system provides 90% light transmission for outstanding optical clarity.
Nikon ProStaff riflescopes accommodate most hunting styles, with enough power for long-range shots and a wide field of view for thick brush and timber. The 3-9x40 riflescope is designed for centerfire rifle hunting of big game and varmints.

The scope features a multicoated lens system for up to 90% light transmission, a bullet drop compensating (BDC) reticle for easy holdover out to 600 yards (magnum calibers), and precise 1/4 MOA reticle adjustments. 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 scope's high-performance lenses, meanwhile, are coated 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. Plus, the ProStaff scope is ready for years of reliable service thanks to its 100% water- and fog-proof housing. O-ring sealing and nitrogen filling ensure moisture never penetrates the interior.


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

5.0 out of 5 stars Nikon Prostaff, December 24, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
A very nice, very bright and accurate scope for the money. In fact the best scope on todays market for the money. A much better scope than the low end Leupolds. It would be nice if it had a little more eye relief, but 3.6 inches is fine on my Rem Mtn Rifle LA. Although it is not US made it is not Chinese made. Still has excellent clarity in low light.

This review is from: Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40mm Scope (Sports)
The gun dept guy at Gander Mountain recommended this scope, saying it was a good scope for the "value end" of their line; he also said he uses the Prostaff in 3-9x50. Since it was at the upper end of what I could justify spending, I looked it up on Amazon -- low and behold, it was about $30 less for the black Prostaff on Amazon than the $169.99 at Gander, plus Gander was totally out of stock on all Prostaff scopes; not sure what they charge for the silver Prostaff, but I seem to recall it was more than the black.

Anyways, I ordered from Amazon, had the scope 23 hours later. Took the scope plus some Leupold rings and base back to Gander, where they mounted and boresighted it on my new Marlin 308 MXLR lever action. This gun has true 308 ballistics, capable of reaching out several hundred yards. I can't say enough good about the guys at Gander Mountain, by the way, they did a great job in every respect, including mounting and boresighting.

To dial in the scope, I shot one round at 25 yards and basically nailed the bullseye. SWEET! Lacking time and not wanting to blow through a whole box of 308 Express rounds at $1.25 each, I then went directly to the 100 yard target. My group was 1" low and 1.5" left. I adjusted for height and windage twice more, and one shot of my last very tight group nailed the bullseye again. SUPER SWEET!

The next morning it was barely light enough to see plus very foggy. I saw something that I thought might be a deer a bit over 150 yards away. Put the scope (Prostaff) on it, and yup, it was a buck, mostly facing straight at me presenting a minimal target. The optics on this thing are very, very clear. A lesser scope would definitely have hampered my ability to see the animal at all. I squeezed off a shot, and saw it fall over. When I checked the shot, I found the hole exactly where I aimed.

Good in low light, clear optics, nice reticle, etc. etc. Another guy had the same scope in black on a new .444 he'd won in a raffle, he also liked the clarity. I heartily recommend this scope.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great scope, July 16, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Does what I need. Not a professional hunter but this dialed right in and has held zero through several range shoots. Feel confident that I can make a 250 to 300 yard shot with this scope come hunting season. I'm sure that a higher price scope would be "better" but I can't tell the diff.
