Luckily I had a VX-3 4.5x14 that I had just taken off of another rifle that I put on the little .257 Roberts today. Sometime after the current snowstorm is over I will UPS the Buckmaster to a Nikon repair shop. No big hurry. When it gets back from repair it will find a new home.
I still think the Buckmaster scope is generally a good product at a good price.
