Nikon Prostaff Riflescopes

[rbreedi1]

Whats the consensus on these? I was thinking about picking up one of the new 4-12x40's for the Rem .270. Thanks!

In my opinion, they are great scopes for the money. I have several

Just purchased a 3-9x40 Buckmasters and I'm very pleased with it so far. I mounted on my daughters 7-08 model 7 in a set of Talleys.

good scopes for the money but I would suggest taking a look at the new redfields they are made by leupold and are in the same price range as the nikon prostaff , I have the prostaff in 3x9x40 and love it ,if I was buying a new scope it would be a hard decision to make between the two , I would probably go with the redfield because I have gotten excellent service out of them , have two of them since 1983 and haven't had any trouble at all....

I'll check those redfields out as well. Thanks for the input so far.

nikon makes good glass. the customer service sucks unless it's a camera issue.

light gathering and clarity leaves much to be desired IMO. Even the Monarchs.

Surprised to hear this, got a prostaff on a used gun it wouldn't hold zero so i sent it to nikon and 2 weeks later they shipped me a new scope. Haven't had any issues in the 2 years I had it and have since bought 2 more nikons because of their customer service and the quality glass.

I have 2 3-9 Pro-staffs and 1 3-9 Buckmaster. Cant beat em for the money. I love mine and will probaly have more in the future. Gonna look at the new Redfields also.

I too suggest you look at the New Redfields there 4x-12x 40 is darn nice for the 199-209$.

I have 3 3-9X40s and don't have a complaint yet.

I have a Nikon Buckmasters and it's pretty good for the money; the Prostaff is rated slightly less, but is less expensive.

After I bought the Buckmasters I bought a Leupold VXI and a Burris Fullfield II for less than the NIkon, and of the three I like the Burris the best.

Your mileage may vary.

 

[W.Seay]

for the same $$ you can buy a burris fullfield 11 which BLOWS the prostaff away!!

Yup. I think I paid $135 for the Burris (2-7X35) after discounts from Cabela's. It's brighter and has the BDC reticle. You may not like how the entire bell rotates when you change the power, but I like it (except it doesn't work well with Uncle Mike's flip-up scope covers).

I would have to disagree with that one they have fixed every. Scope o have ever sent them.

they would not replace the broken eyecups on a 2 month old pair of monarch binocs but sure told me where i could buy some.
