Nikon spot-on scopes - like it or not?

[Don Fischer]

Bman, have a question. I'm a Nikon camera user and have two Nikon scope's. Both Buckmaster's. 3-9x with duplex cross wires ans 4.5-14x with BDC. I got the 4.5-14x with BDC because it was the last one they had, Bi Mart. I don't like the BDC at all but figured I could send it to Nikon and they would change it for me, was willing to pay for it. Got them on the phone and they won't do it! They told me to take it back to where I bought it and exchange it. Both scope's work fine and both have clear lenses. The adjustment's on the 4.5-14x are very accurate but I detest that BDC reticule! How come Nikon won't change things like that for customer's? My only complaint with Nikon.

Don, Nikon does not swap out reticles on their scopes. I have heard of companies doing it ont heir high end ( $1800 and up) lines, but Nikon has never done that.
By the way, I love Antelope, Ore., it's been a long time since I have ben in that part of the country but I still miss it!
Sorry I can't be more helpful to you . Have you checked out Spot On, Don? It really is a useful tool for long range shooting. I know a lot of guys can't wrap their head around the BDC reticle, just not the way they learned how to shoot, heck, I was one of those guys until I tried it out.

A heads up....great deal on a certain Nikon Monarch right now at Cabelas online.  Older model...not the Monarch 3, but smoking price.  I just bought another to put on a rifle I was going to put a Leupold I have on it, but decided to add another Nikon to the herd.  Between the son and I we have 8 of these Monachs in various variables (3x12, 4x16) with the BDC.  Great scopes.

Use a Cabelas coupon, ship to local store for free shipping and get it even cheaper.

Nice yo see you guy's looking out for each other. We all like to save $ and unfortunately if I made a suggestion about where to buy something someone else wouldn't like it. I will try to let you guys know about Nikon's Promotions.
Thanks for all the question's, you guys have been keeping me busy!

Just bought another rifle today.  Dang...now I have to get another Nikon and the one I bought on sale went back up $30...which is still a good price.

Duplex reticle.....I prefer the BDC as I have on my other rifles.  Thanks though.
