I don't have that particular scope, but I have Nikon Buckmasters which are excellent scopes for the money.
My meat and potatoes rifle (300 WM) is topped with a Nikon Buckmaster 3x9x40 and I did harvest an antelope with at 429 yards. If I do my part I can get 1" groups at 200 yards.
I think Nikon make good glass for their price range. I also have a Burris Fullfield II on my muzzle-loader, they also make good glass. I almost like my Burris a little more than my Nikon.
Don't worry someone will come along and crap all over Nikon.
