I was looking through the Sample List on this site and I saw a number of good deals on the Nikon Buckmaster scopes. I am looking for a 6-18X40 scope. Is the Buckmaster a good scope for the money? Is it reliable (ie. does it hold zero, and stand up to years of use?). Now I know that I am going to get a numer of responses that the Nikon Monarch is a better scope- - yes, I know this. I know I can pay more money and get a number of better scopes. However, it seems like for the price, the Buckmaster is a very good deal. The 6-18 Buckmaster has features I like, such as target knobs and side focus. What do you think?

I have a buddy that bought several of them for different rifles and he swears by them. I think they are pretty good scopes that tend to get over looked. His are the older models, from what I have read Nikon has increased the light transmition in the newer models.
Most of the prices I have seen put the Buckmaster in or around the same price as the Burris Full Field. Again, personal opinion but given the choice I'd lean more to the Burris. |

I think the Nikon BM is a steal!!
King of the lower priced scope market...IMO.

Here's a good review of the BM from Nate. A No BS look at the Buck Master. |

Does anyone know how the sunshade fits on the Buckmaster, since it has rounded edges? I presume you would have to unscrew the front rounded edge of the scope and then install the sunshade.
