I have that Exact same Scope, BDC Reticle and all, I love this thing!! I was in search of a decent Scope about a year or so ago for my 6.5 Creedmoor, I looked through several different Vortex, The Diamondback’s were in the Price Range i planned on spending, I personally didn’t like the Vortex, i have looked through 2 different Vortex Diamondback’s that were Not clear? Kind of a Hazy/fuzzy look and Nothing i could do to clear them up? I handed 1 of them to the Store Clerk and had him take a look through it, He tried everything as well to clear it up, he couldn’t get it focused either? That was enough Vortex Scope Looking for me. I have a pair of their 12X50 Diamondback Binoculars and i like them ok.
I was in Cabelas one day and checked out the Bargain Cave before leaving, there was a Brand New Nikon Buckmasters 4-12X40 under the Counter for 75 bucks! I asked the Clerk what the deal was with it? He said it was a Display out front under the Scope Counter and that it didn’t have a Box, I looked through the Scope and it SUPER CLEAR! I bought it immediately! I have since bought another one with the MOA Reticle, I am very impressed with the Clarity of these Nikon’s, they are every bit as clear as Any of the MUCH MUCH more expensive Scopes, Including Zeiss, I had a Zeiss 4.5-14 with Rapid Z800 Reticle, These Nikon’s are just as Good!
