Re: nikon scopes vs bushnell
I have the Bushnell FFP 3-12x44 1/10 mil scope and
a Bushnell HDMR with a Horus. I like them very much.
I have used a Nikon before but none of them have the
features that I prefer such as FFP and mil/mil.

Re: nikon scopes vs bushnell
Gman, Check out Nikon's BDC Reticle Scopes. Perfect for whatever you are going to shoot. I have a Buckmaster 4.5-14x40 BDC on my Winchester Model 70 Coyote in .243. I use this with 55 grain screamers for predators and 90 grainers for Texas deer. With the BDC reticle and Nikon's Spot On Ballistic Program I can customize the BDC to my specific ammo. Best of all, Spot On is free to use. You can print different shooting information that gives you the corresponding distances for each BDC circle.
Check it out, Nikonhunting.com, click on Spot On logo.
I hope this information helps you out?

Re: nikon scopes vs bushnell
I've had several nikons. Cheep 3-9x40 and monarchs 5.5-20x44. I like them alot. Very clear glass and good for the price .. no experience with Bushnell.

Re: nikon scopes vs bushnell
I have several Nikon Monarchs and like them. They are pretty clear and bright. They don't have a whole lot of adjustment range, but the ones I have are 1" scope tubes.

Re: nikon scopes vs bushnell
Great to hear positive endorsements from the guys who use Nikon scopes. Nikon's Spot On Ballistic Program has really enhanced the use of the BDC Reticle. Allowing the user to enter the scope they are using, cal. and ammo data and get corresponding distances for each BDC cirlcle. I have watched guys brand new to this system connect on steel deer targets at 623 yards. Made a believer out of them pretty quickly. Obviously this isn't a substitute for range time and practicing using the BDC reticle, but when you do, the resluts can be freezer filling.

Bart is Spot On with his recommendation.
I am one of his believers. I was able to take shots out to 500 yards with a .308 the first time I used a Monarch with the BDC. The system really does work great!

Re: nikon scopes vs bushnell
Between me, dad, and brothers we have 5 nikons (buckmasters and monarchs) and I have a Bushnell elite 6500. This is the 3rd scope, the first two bushnells broke right away. We love the nikons, good quality build and clear glass. I also love the bdc reticles matched up with the Nikon Spot On ballistic information. For a decent hunting scope that is still affordable I always go Vortex or Nikon.
