Nikon 8435 BDC Scope

[jmco]

Hello,

I just purchased a new Browning 30-06, and I am in the process of deciding which scope to put on this rifle. I am considering the Nikon 8435 BDC - 3x9x40. I have seen this for sale between $250-$300.

Also, this has the BDC (Bullet Drop Compensating) reticle, and I am looking for anyone who has experience using this, and getting any feedback on how well it works for identifying aimpoints for longer distances.

Kind regards,

jmco

This scope?

It is the Team Primos which is a Monarch with BDC. It is a damn good scope for $200 also look at SWFA's sample list they had them for $180 on there. Do not pay more than $200 though as it has been that much for a while now at SWFA.

are you sure its a monarch and not a pro-staff?, nikon lists the team primos and the pro-staff in the same catagory in there product guide, but still there a good scope either way.

Yes it is a Monarch go for over to the optics talk forum and search. Pretty much Nikon discontinued the 3-9x40 Monarch UCC's for the 2.5-10x40. They put a BDC reticle and changed the name to Team Primos as to not compete with the new Monarch scope.
