Anyone use a Nikon scope with the BDC reticle?

[Huey]

Do you like them? Any good or bad comments?

I'm shopping for a new scope and I'm thinking of getting a Nikon BDC, but I've never used one. They look good in the store. Hard to tell how they will be outside, under hunting conditions.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Ps I'm thinking of getting a 2.5-10x for a deer rifle.

if thats the one with the little circles in the center of each line; i've heard the cirlces will cover the much of the target at longer ranges --i would go with a reticle with the finer lines to give more of a exact aiming point

I was shooting one on a savage .17 hmr last Sat at 180 yards and loved it was not hard too see at all also have one on my .300 win mag and works great but it might just be younger eyes also.

That's good to hear, ArcherySniper.

I bought a .25-06 last wknd and put a 2.5-10x BDC on it.

The .25-06 has a similar ballistics to a .300 so I glad to hear the BDC works well with your gun. I wasn't sure if the BDC would work well with some cartridges and not others since ballistics vary a lot but the spacing of the circles is always the same.

Or maybe you just need young eyes. Hopefully middle aged eyes will get the job done too.
