I was wondering if anyone has one of these scopes. Im really considering getting one for my coyote rig.

What do you guys all think?
 
IMO you are better off with a vx1 or a burris ff. I like the nikons reticle but hate the shrinking eye relief when the power goes up.
 
I have used the Buckmaster II but prefer the Nikon PROSTAFF 4-12 BDC. The PROSTAFF has a quick focus eye piece that makes sure whatever I am look at is perfectly focused. For younger eye's I doubt you woud have any issue at all, my 18 year old doesn't. I love being able to dial in my rifle scope and ammo with Spot On as well to get the best possible longrange accuracy I can. I have used Spot On to hit soda cans at 600 yards and just a few weeks ago my son hit a 4 inch jar of tannerite at 400 yards. Certainly good enough for deer/predator hunting. I also have the PROSTAFF 4-12 on my Father In-Laws rifle and he loves it. Took a while to teach him how to use the BDC reticle but that's just because he was 78 and deaf. Now at 82 it's almost second nature. I know Nikon has some sales going on right now so perhaps you can save some $ too.
Drop me a note if you have any question's .

And the very small field of view.... not too bueno for charging coyotes.
 
I have truly never had an issue with any Nikon scope not giving me a wide enough FOV to make a shot on anything and I shoot a lot of different rifles and scopes every month. One of my favorite's for predator hunting is the MONARCH 3 2-8x32 BDC, it is roughy $100 more then the Buckmaster II as well. I always tell folks that the best scope they can pick is the one that they can actually look down the tube and get a feel for the scope and see if it fits their requirements. Know that all of Nikon's scopes are backed by Nikon's No Fault Policy too.

Here's a pic of the PROSTAFF 4-12 I put on my in-laws rifle.

I knew 3 lines in that you were affiliated. Signature line confirmed it. Excellent customer service, good clarity and resolution for the price and an attractive profile for a traditional hunting rifle- but that's about where it stops for me.
