My local dealer has a nikon buckmaster 4.5x14 scope for $239.00. Is it worth it.

The buckmaster can be had for around $169.00 at most places. Try midsouthshooters supply.com or just try cabellas.

I have a Buckmaster 3x9. I had to buy a scope quickly when my Leupold failed a day before I was leaving for a hunt. I paid $150 NIB and for the money I'm impressed. Much clearer than the Varx-II, I like the click adjustment rather than the friction, and it seems pretty rugged. I haven't had it that long and can't honestly comment on its reliability.

The only downfall I see is the eye relief. Much less than the Leupold. Not a problem on my 308 but I'd be careful on a harder recoiling rifle.

4.5x14 for $169? $279 is as cheap as ive found them in the red head catalog. Havnt got my cabelas right beside me. But it seem as if they are about the same

I have two 3x9x40's and have no complaints, I don't see much difference in clarity when compared to my Vari X II's.

I have 4,buckmaster 3x9x40,1,4.5x14,1, monarch 4x12x40,and you cannot tell the difference,I like them all.If you can get the 4.5x14 for 239.00 you better jump on it.I gave 279.00 for mine.I would buy 2or 3 more if I could get them for 169.00.I checked my Mid south cat. but they didn't give any prices.Cabelas was 279.00
