5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding scope, September 24, 2010

This review is from: Nikon SlugHunter Shotgun Scope, 3-9x40 Matte (BDC 200) (Electronics)

This is an outstanding scope. I have one on an H&R Ultra slug hunter (bull barrel) 12 gauge. This is a tack driving combination. The BDC reticle works very well--I was able to take an 8-point buck at 135 yards thru the heart with this combination. I also had a Leupold 3-9 Rifleman on a Remington 11-87SP -- I just replaced it with the Nikon scope. So far, the Nikon scope has proven to be more durable than the Leupold--and I think it is clearer and brighter--and it has better eye relief. I strongly recommend the Nikon SlugHunter...

Best manufacturer of optics IMO. The clarity of this scope, combined with the BDC recticle makes this my favorite weapon come deer season.

It was easy to mount, boresighted easily, and it has a good 5" of eye relief on my Browing BPS Cantilever barrel. I can shoulder the gun quickly and see the intended target very easily when on the lower power settings, and frankly not too bad even when on 9X although the field of view is pretty narrow then. Good low light visibility, clear view and easy to use. Can't wait to take the set up to the range. I bought this as a "used item" from Amazon, and it said it might have imperfections, but it was in the original box shiny and new. It was $139.99 and free shipping, when others were $220 or more. It has a manufactuers lifetime warranty, so there is no risk. This was a great deal. Look out deer and bears, here I come.
