CruiseforCoues Report post Posted September 17, 2011 Hey out there I was hoping you guys could help me out! My nephew recently bought my brother a Weatherby 300 for Christmas and now he needs a Scope, he's kinda finacially limited to what he can buy and I have seen this Nikon BDC at different locations and was wondering if anyone owns or has used one any info would be great. P.S. the reason I am intersted in this scope is becaus of the Bullet Drop Comp on it but if someone knows of another scope for around $200 - $300 please let me know. Thank you and best wishes to all.

deercrazy Report post Posted September 17, 2011 I have a nikon BDC scope on my weatherby, and I love it. So far it has proved very accurate to my nikon range finder as I have taken all the game I have shot at with one shot. Scope is very clear. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZKX250 Report post Posted September 17, 2011 I have the 4-12x40 with the BDC and I love it. It is very accurate and as mentioned very very clear. Well worth the money. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andygrand Report post Posted September 17, 2011 I have several of those scopes and I like them. That being said if the budget is 200-300 you should buy the vortex viper for 250 off of Cameraland. You will not get the bdc reticle but that scope is leaps and bounds ahead of the prostaff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Browns Report post Posted September 18, 2011 Get the Vortex Viper. The turret system is Awesome. You will not regret it. There scopes are much better than Nikon in my opinion. Adam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

R/C Report post Posted September 19, 2011 I originally wanted the Vortex Viper but I finally settled for the Vortex Diamondback 4-12X40 with the Dead Hold BDC. So far it has been an awesome scope on my 300 Win. Mag and wass\ only $200.00 at Sportsmans. I also looked at the Prostaff and it didnt seem as clear as the Vortex IMO.

Willyhunts2 Report post Posted September 19, 2011 Have the nikon bdc and it's ok. Switched up to vortex viper 6.5-20x44 with the dead hold bdc and love it but could be a little more then you wanted to spend if I remember right. The vortex scopes I've looked through seem alot more clear and bright than the nikons I have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Siwash Report post Posted September 20, 2011 I would look at the Burris Fullfield II 4.5-14x42 with the ballistic plex. You can find it online for $250-300 and it is a better scope than the ProStaff in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

andygrand Report post Posted September 21, 2011 Go to vortexoptics.com and it will show you all of their reticles. The dead hold BDC (bullet drop compensator) is one of their reticles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Midway is www.midwayusa.com They are a very popular shooting, reloading, and everything else company. Good customer service, but I can usually find what they are selling for cheaper at other places. As for the Buckmaster, you are going to get a good scope with the nikon. That being said, I have owned and shot the buckmaster, and now the vortex viper. I will not own another scope that doesn't say vortex on it. All of the features that STOMP442 mentioned can be had on the vortex scope for less money, and a better warranty. Don't get me wrong I don't think you will be dissapointed with the Nikon, but I know you won't be dissapointed with the Vortex. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
