This scope is highly appreciated by users for its lightweight feature, especially its clear view by HydroShield technology. Thanks to SureGrip adjustment function, this Simmons product becomes easier to use by most users at all skills.

There is only one restriction of this cope is that this model isn’t equipped with BDC feature. Instead of this function, you can figure out the BDC function by yourself after some practices.

Affordable price is the strong plus of this model. If you are in need of a 22-250 scope without spending a lot of money for spare, this scope is a good choice.

If you are not the serious pro shooters, this scope shall basically help you much in hunting and getting sharpshooting.

This brand is so popular in the field of optics. Nikon actually proves itself to be a firm option for its binoculars, fieldscope and digiscopes.

With the pro scope of ProStaff 3-9x40mm Rimfire scope, it is  a perfect choice when you only come with the mid-range hunting using 22-250s.

Besides, thanks to lenses with many coats, the capacity of shock, fog and water resistance, this model helps your eyes relieve and work well.

This scope is also a sure win for any other rivals in term of the price. Unlike the Simmons scope, this model has the characterized feature of BDC 150 reticle. This feature allows you to identify the subject exactly that you are probably producing an accurate and reliable shot.

There is only a tiny disadvantage of this scope is that you may get difficulty in hitting the target at super long distance of above 500 yards.

We have just explored about the Nikon ProStaff 3-9x model with BDC function which is considered as the great choice for mid-range target. But, for long distance shooting, is there any possible option? Try the Nikon ProStaff 4-12x.

Whereas this 4-12x model from Nikon has some similar properties as the 3-9x, it has many advantages that the Nikon 3-9x doesn’t possess:

• Glass with many coats for better and clearer view
• Water and fog resistance structure
• Magnification power with larger distance

As my actual shooting, this model makes my shooting always accurate at longer distances.

The question is that why I offer the two products from the same brand with the only difference on the range of working or magnification power? The answer is because the two products are highly appreciated with good reliability and satisfaction.

If you work at low and middle range targets, this model from Nikon is a good choice, the 4-12x is well-served for your extended ranges of above 500 yards. At a reasonable price, it’s suitable for anyone finding the best-suited range for long targets.

What I like:

• A little bit more expensive than others

Unlike the two above products, this Nikon 4-12x version is a very fantastic solution for your super and super long distance target. It means that with the distance of above 500 yards, this Nikon proves to be reliable and astonishingly accurate.

With the impressive feature of better lenses, this product seems not to have any disadvantages to claim.

Especially, this Nikon Prostaff 6729 has the BDC feature at extreme accuracy. For the price scope of under $300, you can’t take this product into account.

When you feel hard at using 100-150 yard scope or average range or you often work at extremely super high range of above 500 yards with absolute accuracy, then this Prostaff model from Nikon could be the right option.

What I like:
