Patented BDC reticle

The BDC reticle allows hunters to hold “dead-on” at ranges exceeding those previously thought possible. The BDC’s unique see-through ballistic circles offer an incredible advantage for long range shooting—yet allow a normal sight picture for shorter-range shots where the crosshair itself is the aiming point.

Brightvue™ multicoating

Bright, multicoating optics deliver up to 92% light transmission.

Large exit pupils

Improved low light hunting at dawn or dusk, when the game is usually moving.

Side focus adjustments

Long Range models include adjustments for parallax-free sighting.

Precise, hand-turn 1/8-MOA click adjustments

Positive-click reticle adjustments get you zeroed-in quicker and maintain your setting even with heavy recoil.

Quick focus eyepiece

Allows the shooter to instantly bring the reticle into sharp focus.

Sunshade included

Accessory sunshade eliminates glare in particularly bright conditions and keeps dust and rain off of the objective lens on rainy days or in dusty environments.

Target-style high profile knobs

Included with the Buckmasters 6-18x40SF.

Waterproof, fogproof, shockproof

Nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed.

The Nikon Buckmasters riflescope series is famous among hunters—you simply won’t find a better combination of critical light transmission, must-have features, and rugged durability. With the Nikon Buckmasters family, there’s a perfect match for every hunter and every hunting style, whether it’s rifle, rimfire or blackpowder.

A more rounded, sleeker look allows the Buckmasters® riflescope to become a part of your rifle, not just an addition. Nikon has integrated the same great optics and exceptional light transmission as the current Buckmasters scopes, now up to a full 92%, and wrapped them in a more ergonomic body with ¼-MOA click, hand-turn reticle adjustments for precise site-ins.  Quick-focus eyepieces are also now standard on the Buckmasters® scopes, as is the non-reflective, matte black finish.

Nikon Buckmasters® long range models, which previously utilized adjustable objective lenses, are now fitted with a side-focus adjustment knob to compensate for parallax.  This new feature allows the shooter fast, inconspicuous adjustments—and reduces the overall length of these scopes, as well.  Available in 4-12x50, 4.5-14x40 and 6-18x40 models, the side-focus Buckmasters® riflescopes bring high magnification and long range precision together in one package.

All Nikon Buckmasters feature Brightvue™ multicoating, Precise hand-turn 1/4-MOA click adjustments, quick focus eyepiece, optional accessory sunshade.

All Buckmasters® scopes, including the 1x20 Black Powder, 4x40, 3-9x40, 3-9x50 and each of the three long range models, feature durable 1” main body tubes constructed of aircraft grade aluminum.  Buckmasters® scopes are O-ring sealed and nitrogen-filled for true waterproof, fogproof and shockproof performance.

Nikon Buckmasters riflescopes include a Full Lifetime Warranty.
