I have 3x9x40 Nikon buckmaster on my .06. For the money and the price range it is in the scope is fine. No you probably won't be able to shoot 500 yds with it, but most people, me included shouldn't be shooting that far anyway. I bought my Nikon scope because of past experiences with their products and customer service. I looked at and researched other scopes but the Nikons just seemed to have better reviews. This is just my experience with Nikon and my .02.
