Hey everybody I'am new to this forum.I just purhased at Savage Model12 Long Range Precsision Varminter in 204.The only experience I have with a scoped rifle is my 30.06 with a 4 power leuapold which I use for pig hunting here in No.Ca.Due to cost considerations I'am trying to stay around 300-400 for the new scope.Any opinions on the Nikon Buckmaster 6x18x40?Most of my initial shooting will be on paper at 100-200yds.Also thinking 40mm to keep scope low on rifle.One more thought,what about mounting the scope with a picatinny rail?Any thoughts and opinions would be welcome and appreciated,thanks.

The rail mount would make a good choice. As to the scope there are a number of quality scopes in your price range. I would step up to a Nikon Monarch over the BM or look at the Burris FFII 4.5-14x42 or the Sightron SII series. I think the Sightron may have the best glass of the bunch but the Burris is built like a tank. If you are looking for a really great deal SWFA has this scope for a heck of a deal right now. http://swfa.com/Vortex-6-24x50-Crossfire-Rifle-Scope-P43585.aspx.
I just ordered one for a 223rem. I figured if I don't like it I am not out much money. It's a bigger bell than you were looking at but may be an option |

We measure it with a micrometer, mark it with a crayon, and cut it with a chainsaw.

4.5-14 Burris FFll will be better and brighter glass than the Buckmaster. At $279 on the samplelist is in the same price range as the Buckmaster. Burris has a better reputation on the CS than Nikon. the 14 power will be plenty good out to 400 yd. Welcome to the OP

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow Now the rules have changed again. |

If you like fixed power and want a little more magnification Bushnell has the elite 3200 in a fixed 10x40 with mil-dot reticle. I use it on a 223 for paper from 100-500yds. Great scope Great price. Rock Solid to. |

I recently bought a burris fullfield ll 3x9 ballistic plex. Comes with a free pair of 10x32 burris binoculars. Both are very clear, and well made. Excellent buy for $219.00
