Nikon Buckmaster Scopes

Beer Belly
I have a 3-9x40 on my MZ and love it. I want to put one on my 7mm-08, but I want a 50mm, and maybe a little more magnification. My eyes are 39, and not what they once were.

I am considering a 4-12x50mm Buckmaster. Would you purchase this over a 5-15x50mm bushnell 3200 elite?

    In my opinion, Buckmasters are excellent scopes.

    I had one years ago and could not get Nikon to back up their warenty, no more for me or my children.

    Thanks for the info Chuck. I don't know if companies realize how much sales suffer because of poor customer service + the internet.

    6 Months ago I bought a NEW STYLE Simmons with the new adjustments in them, It's a 3x9 40mm so far it is the best scope for the money I have ever bought, I liked it so much that I bought another one, only 3x9 that I can see 30 caliber holes at 100 yards. take a look at them. And they cost under $100.00

    I had the same experience with Nikon as Chuck.Too many scope makers around for me to buy another Nikon.

    Bought a new Buckmaster 4X. Put it on a .22. At 50 feet, and the highest the elevation it would go up to I was dead center 6 o'clock 2 inches below the bull. Sent it to warrenty. We will see what Nikon has to say.

    Own many Nikon scopes.
    Never had a problem that was not resolved by the dealer at the place of purchase nor Nikon.

    I believe that my favorite is the 4-14x40 Buckmaster I have on a Win 70 Featherweight, 7mm WSM. That scope has seen it all and has held up great.

    What ever you choose. Try to buy from a local source. For it makes returning any product much easier than going through shipping and all of that.

    They are both fine but I'd lean more towards the elite. However, my eyes are older than yours, on top of higher magnification, I need a more forgiving eye relief. On average, scopes have 3" eye relief, my Leupold 4-14 has 5". Good luck!
