[QUOTE="Poodleshooter1, post: 508901, member: 28394"] I do. 4.5-14x 40mm Buckmaster with side parallax adjustment and mil dots. I can adjust up to a 300yd zero, and back to 100yd without problems. It holds zero well of course. Adjustment range in MOA isn't huge, so be mindful of that for most Nikons over 10x when contemplating a long range scope. The side focus feature works quite well, though as with most, it isn't calibrated exactly. Depth of field is pretty good. I can focus down to about 10yds on 4.5x with the parallax adjustment/side focus set at minimum (40yds or so). Nikon uses a field stop in these scopes I think, so FOV is probably reduced some in exchange for additional depth of field. It makes for a crisper picture at different ranges. For reference, the glass clarity is just slightly inferior to my dad's Bushnell 4200 and my Vortex Viper. It's really only visible at very long range on very small items or an eye contrast chart. It exhibits no spherical aberration, glare, flare or other obvious irritating flaws. [/QUOTE]
