Is this Nikon @ $269.98 a SF scope ?

If you are asking about Side Focus the one I bought does. I suggest you call the Amazon supplier and ask what Buckmaster model your buying.

I would say it is pretty close in terms of resolution and chromatic aberration. Maybe just a small difference between it and my Nightforce NXS 5.5-22X50 scopes. It seems to be built as well but you give up an illuminated reticle and zero stop but you are spending only half as much. I got mine from Amazon vendor LG Outdoors for just over $1200. At that price and the overall quality you can't go wrong. It is a little bit more difficult to find 34mm rings for the Bushnell than 30mm rings for the Nightforce.

This isn't a full-frame camera. It's aps-h, 1.3x crop. And if you're shooting astro photography you should be looking into a Nikon d800 or a 5dmkii. This is a camera with 11-year old sensor technology. I bought one to shoot surfers with here in Hawaii broad daylight and I get noise (by modern standards) past about ISO400-500. This camera is great if you're looking for a cheaper 7d and you don't want video capabilities or a screen you can actually see. Don't get me wrong, it's a great camera, but its age definitely shows. I bought one in perfect shape with 42k actuations for $430 and not 3 months later I bought a 7d for $530. The extra money spent on a more modern camera is well-worth it.

Yes it does. More bang for your buck with all the nessessities of a $500+ scope! It's huge with a 4" sunshade and weighs around 2lbs. Gets hazy at 40 zoom. It is very sturdy feeling material. Big side wheel (80mm). It is an ES-F. Not SFE. People are dislexic on here. I have .25 cal Benjamin Marauder.

Brandon. It doesn't say when you asked this question but I figured the answer out. First, I just purchased the last one that a storefront had for $289, so i'm sorry if I stole the lens from you :X. Second, the price is going to be interesting on this lens from here on out. It has been discontinued due to a recently announced new model. The question is how much will this new model cost? To my knowledge that hasn't been answered. I decided to snag it at this price because if the new model is upwards of $400 then it out of my price range anyway. If the new model comes out sub $400 this older model might tank in price. Supply and demand will dictate based on that information. As for big stores, I don't see you having much luck. Most did firesales and liquidated their stock already to mitigate the price risk. I can tell you that this is my first fixed lens for general photography. It hasnt even arrived yet, but when it does I plan to test it out. If its not to my liking I can resell it to you at the price I purchased + the tax I paid + shipping. I would generally just return it but that lowers your chance of it ending up in your hands. If this was a recent post just come back to me and I can show you proof that it hasn't even arrived yet :). Take care!

Debbie,B&H; photo is still giving the Nikon discount. http://www.bhphotovideo.com Their price for the d3100 + 18-55 AF s DX VR kit, plus the 55-200 AF S DX VR is $718.00 This is $20 higher than the Amazon price, but right now, they are out of stock, and as I stated above, I don't think they are honoring the discount any longer. Put the d3100 in your cart, then to the left you will see various lens discounts listed. Toward the bottom, you will see "save up to $100" on select lenses. The "VR" version is $119 and the non VR is $79. Good Luck!

I have one of these scopes - it was atrocious. Would not hold a zero EVER!!! The optics were very poor and were unusable in low light. I would not recommend this for anyone. Mine is being used by my 4 year old for a poor man's binocular. For the record, I have a number of optics including Trijicon, ACOG, Nightforce (2 of those), a 5-25 Zeiss, several Leupolds, etc.

Yes it is, and it works best between 15x and 35x. The higher magnifications have issues with clarity due to imperfections and debris. Also, this scope doesn't work particularly well for people with glasses, like me. So for distances over 150m, or people with glasses. I wouldn't recomend this. Otherwise its solid.For clarification: if you want to see if you hit. Sure 500m is possible with shoot and see targets. If your checking shot groups 150m is the limit.

Hi, I purchased and mounted this scope and love it on my 6.5 Creedmoor. Clear optics (I'm able to see bullet holes easily at 300/400 yards) and great transferrable lifetime warranty. I reviewed the the offer description and there are a couple of items missing in the description that make me nervous. FFP and SFP products are not separate offerings and the description/offer is not clear which reticle is offered. Vendor has a high rating - Caveat emptor.

If you want to shoot over 100 yard. This is not the right one. spend some more money for Nikon scope. The scope you've asked is hard for to find target. I owned one but I regret for to buy it and left it there for awhile not sight in. That's why I can't return. Money is matter with scope the more you pay the best you'll get. And remember your is .308 this the one for yours.

Yes the Nikon I got was the BDC reticle. This was a excellent scope I bought.

SF stands for "side focus." the parallax view can be adjusted with a control knob on the side of the unit. i have one of these on my Sig Sauer ar-15 and it works like a charm. if the scope is at it's maximum reach, you may experience a loss of view or what i refer to as "tunnel vision." with a twist of the knob you can adjust this phenomenon out of the field of view. nikon put a lot of work into this scope and if you zero at 100 on the cross hairs the rest is a breeze when you use the BDC (Bullet Drop Compensator) circles. very well-built and VERY ACCURATE...worth every penny. makes shooting the .223/5.56 round quite enjoyable.brian G.

You are not looking at very expensive optics here, and you can't compare the performance of this lens to one costing thousands of dollars. That being said however, this lens will perform pretty well shooting the moon. You will find it hard to get perfect focus on infinity. If you have the extender, which will double your length, you will get even closer shots. Also, some people can't stand that this lens is all mechanical, just like the old 35 MM lenses. I love shooting with this thing. You can actually hand hold to get some very good bird shots. I hope this answers your question. Good luck. For the price, you should do okay!

Yes, it is. The focal length and aperture value cannot be mathematically separated, and must both be multiplied by 1.53.

yeah, I have it... its a decent one for the money. im a little spoiled because I have it, and a sightmark 2x24 NV bino and those are really nice, but expensive. I have this one and Firefield Nvader 1-3X Digital Night Vision Monocular, and I did not like the Nvader.

I have never looked thru that Nikon but have an older pair of Nikons. The Bushnells are better than those. Cost less too.

I think it would do fine o. A 10 22 but I think there are better shoes for that gun out there. I'm not a fan of bsa optics but the sweet 22 is a very nice scope and its set up for the 22 better than what Nikon is, plis its cheaper and the clearity is surprisingly just as good as nikons in my opinion. Just keep you're recipe for the bsa if you choose that rite cause that's like you're warranty slip if you would ever need it.
