I haven't had any experience with the Bushnell Scopes, but I do own 8 Nikon Scopes. The buckmaster is the lower end of the scopes compared to the Monarch. The buckmaster is an excellent scope, the optics just aren't coated as well as compared to the Monarch. You can't go wrong with either one in my book. Last week I just picked up a Monarch flat 4x for my .35 whelen Remington 7600 and I couldn't have been happier. In my experience with Nikon, you won't go wrong with one.
