With the quality you get for the price, they made the most sense to me. If you hold out a while there is usually a pretty sweet sale or kicker that comes with them too. I haven't heard much bad about them other than they aren't ford and aren't chevy blah blah blah. I got the buckmaster 3-9x40. I've only had it 3 months but I'm not kind to it and it puts up with me just fine.

I have two of their cheap pro staff 3-9 BDC scopes, they work awesome, hold zero always, uber clear and bright optics. Also have a 550 range finder, works great!

I have two big Monarchs, a pair of Premier LX 'nocs and had a BM 6-18.
The Monarchs and binoculars are outstanding.
Clear, forgiving....They're awesome.
The Buckmark had significant flare at highest magnification and I couldn't keep it because of it.
Lower magnification and it was great.
At 9x, you should have a very useful scope.
I shot a guy's 22lr that had a ProStaff 4x and it was excellent.
I like Nikon.

I think when I finally get enough toolbox cash stored away I will be putting a nice Nikon on the rifle I get.

Sorry to hijack but would any of these hold up to a magnum type rifle? I have no problems on a .223 but was wondering about a .300 RUM or similar.

Between my sons and I, we have several Nikons, both Monarch and Buckmaster, all with the BDC reticle. If you spend the time at the range practicing with the BDC and the info from Nikon's Spot On website, it really is a great scope. wraithen, I have a 300RUM with a Vortex Viper, but I wouldn't be concerned at all about putting a Nikon on a 300RUM.

I shoot a 300 WSM with a Nikon Buckmaster 4.5x14x40 on it and I like it alot. Nikon makes the lenses for Leupold scopes, or at least that is what I heard from a salesman and a few others.

Good to know, thanks guys. I was afraid that one day when I get a long range hunting rig I would have to buy a 1k dollar scope. I'm liking the idea of using something half that price so my wife doesn't beat me up with it.

I have Buckmaster 3x9x40's on my both of my son's rifles. They took abuse on the trail for three seasons on their 243's then we've moved them to 270's and a 30-06 have not had issue with either. I'd compare them to a Leupold VXII all-around.
