Review by Kathy Watkins for Nikon ProStaff 3-9x40 Riflescope (Matte, BDC) Rating: Great value for the money. Sharp image and good color transmission. Bullet drop compensation indicators easy to use and very intuitive. Hope it holds up under the recoil of hot .35 Whelen loads better than the previous (non-Nikon) scope did.

Review by M. Carron for Nikon ProStaff 3-9x40 Riflescope (Matte, BDC) Rating: Wow! What a scope for the price. Great eye relief and clarity. I mounted this scope on my Savage 22-250 and added a 40mm 4" sun-shade. I sighted in at 200 yds and was on center with 4 shots. I use this scope mainly for hunting predators and love the BDC reticle. Using Hornady 55-grain V-Max bullets and my handloads, the reticle compensations match identically out to 600+ yards perfectly. My longest shot taken successfully was 658 yds on a "yote" and the POI was within 1"+/- of where I "guest-i-mated" the hold-over. I can't say enough about this scope. It equally compares to my Leupold VX-III in clarity, has quicker sight acquisition than the VX-III, and provides the same or better clarity in low light such as dawn and dusk hunting situations. If this scope is this great, I can only image what their "Monarch" series scopes are like. Wish the ProStaff came with options such as turrets and a mil-dot reticle [for them even LONGER shots]! Amazon price can't be beat plus the added bonus of FREE super-saver shipping!

Review by Kaupo Hunter for Nikon ProStaff 3-9x40 Riflescope (Matte, BDC) Rating: I can't believe how great of a scope this is for the money. An absolute Steal!! I have it mounted on my Tikka T3 Lite 30-06 and not only does it look great, it perfoms with the best of them. The Magnification and clarity are spectacular. I'm staying with prostaff for all of my future rifles. Aloha!

Review by Gene Michael for Nikon ProStaff 3-9x40 Riflescope (Matte, BDC) Rating: I needed a good hunting rifle scope for my 30-06 that I was taking on a mule deer hunt in Wyoming. Replaced a 4x Leopold. After a lot of research on line and in stores, decided on this Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40. Only wanted to spend about $150, but wanted the best scope that $150 could buy. The BDC (bullet drop compensator) was a bonus. Saved about $20 buying on Amazon.com with free delivery and no sales tax. What a difference it makes to have a good quality rifle scope to go along with my Nikon Monarch binoculars. Amazon.com is my favorite on-line store. Good selection, good service, easy returns, good quality and almost always free and quick delivery.

Review by Dean S. Fitzgerald for Nikon ProStaff 3-9x40 Riflescope (Matte, BDC) Rating: I am using this scope on a H&R Handi Rifle .444 cal. and I can assure anyone its the ticket to success. Whether you are a pro or beginner the BDC reticle will help. I am hitting 1" groups at 100 yds, & 3" groups at 200 yds. How can anybody expect anything better from a 22" barreled gun that will kick the snot of you. The scope performs exactly as advertised, No fog,good light transmission near dark, and a great price. Amazon proves to me time & time again that they are #1 for online ordering, quick delivery, efficient in every way.
