I have shot the Nikon Buckmaster accuratly out to a little over 700 yds. (prairie dog shooting ) and with less bragabelresults out to closer to 1200. I can't claim any kills at the range. I currently have an Elite 3200 on my rifle that I have brough to Iraq. Between the 2 of them, hands down I would recommend the Nikon. As has already been said. for the money, you can't beat them. To be very honest, I would rather have my nikon back, over the 1000 Leupold MK 4 that I have on my ..338 LM.
