I considered several different scopes b...efore deciding on this one. Several reasons convinced me to go with this scope. 1- Price vs. Quality: This is a very high quality, clear rimfire scope at a very reasonable price. I was prepared to pay much more for this type of quality. 2- Size: It is proportionate sized, meaning that looks good on a 16" barreled 10/22 rifle. Some scopes are simply to long and look overbearing on top of a small rifle. 3- Matte finish and not to heavy. 4- Nikon's website has an app that will tell you exactly where to zero the scope depending on your distance and bullet weight. Very pleased with the purchase of this scope. Planning on purchasing a 4-12x40 for my 17HMR next.

I own several nikon prostaff scopes and for... good reason. I've been wanting a clear quality scope for my 10/22 and now I have it. The bdc150 reticle is only true with ammo that flies 1600 fps or more but the clarity and pinpoint accuracy zeroed at 50 yards with thunderbolt ammo is all that I need. I have other toys for longer distances and I'm sure with a little practice I will have no trouble adjusting with the standard velocity .22 to 150 or further for target practice. Good quality for a price friendly scope.

I bought this for my ruger 10/22. It is viewfinder is c...rystal clear and easy to lock in a target. The finish on the outside is high quality and looks great in the rifle. I would highly recommend, and would not get the 4/12 power version for the 10/22 as the higher power would not be useful, as it makes the objective more shaky as you go up in power. 9 power is way high enough.

This scope is amazing ! mounted on ruger 10/22 and on weavers ..."see thru" bases/rings so I could bore site with open sites vs. cross hairs. To mount & bore site took 15 min. Set up a target at 25yd & with in about 10 min. i had a group of 5 all within about a 1/4". This set-up is used for my Rabbit hunting gun. 1st hunt I was able to use the BDC150 worked perfectly on longer shots @100yds. This Scope is a "must have" for the avid rim fire shooter. FAST EASY SET UP ! FAST & EASY SITING IN ! Deadly accurate ! 5 star rating from me ! Only had it a month now so time will tell on durability but.... the 1st impression has been AWESOME ! Totally impressed & specially at the price compared to quality out of the box ! you nailed it on this one Nikon ! Thanks !

I purchased this scope to mo...unt on a Ruger 10/22 carbine I have had for many years. It has always been a valued, albeit utilitarian rifle, used with the stock iron sights. After watching a few hunting videos featuring some pretty precise shooting, I thought it time to make this utility tool a real shooter. After some research, and due to a lot of experience with Nikon's camera equipment, I settled on this as the scope of choice for several reasons: 1. The focal range was wide at 3 to 9 X 2. I knew the glass would be of high quality, and fog free 3. It is purpose made for rimfire rifles 4. The BDC reticle had the exact ranges I wanted; 50/75/100/125/150 yds 5. It was 5 or near stars everywhere I checked I mounted it to my rifle using the Nikon 1" mounts in just a few minutes, and it looked quite good on the stainless rifle. I took it to the range and it showed me a lot! First, it is very clear. The additional sighting dots are the outline "look-through" variety, which really helps on precision placement. And the BDC reticle is accurate, translating a 50 yard zero easily onto 100 yard targets. The next thing it showed me is how truly bad the Ruger stock trigger is! The trigger, not the scope, was the limiting factor in accuracy. I purchased a Ruger BX drop in trigger, which cut the pull AT LEAST to a third of what it was, and broke much more cleanly. This allowed me to get "connect the holes" grouping on targets. I'm impressed! Quite pleased with the scope. I don't believe anything in this price range can touch it.
