Thanks for the sub!
Solid review for a entry level budget friendly scope. Keep them coming and thanks! Subscribed after watching just one video, nice work!
Thanks for the sub!
I have a crossfire 2 and like it a lot. While searching for one on another rifle I saw this and decided to look into it more. I grabbed it after some good reviews but hadn’t watched your video until after the purchase. Great review!
Are you still happy with your scope?
Good review and scope. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching! I hope you subscribe.

@@Moondog2A most certainly did!
great review
Thanks! I hope you subscribed.
High quality video production and review! I just bought this scope and am about to install it on a Mini 14. Many describe it as a good entry level scope.
It's a darn fine scope for the money. Perfect scope for a Mini-14. Hope you scubscribed.
Has it held 0?
Got the Sig Buckmaster 3-9x50 on my 450 Bushmaster. Great scope!!
Agree, I'm surprised anybody spends more for a 3-9x50. Hope you subscribe.
@@Moondog2A Oh I've been subscribed. Great content!!
I got my 3x9x50 with range finder for $189 combo.
Happen to post a review on PSA? If so, nice looking rifle. Looking to put on the 16" SFAR
Have you tried using the BDC Holdover with your 450 BUSHMASTER? The reason I'm asking is my son just bought this scope for his 450 Bushmaster and I am wondering how well it will work for him. I would like to know what caliber the BDC on this scope is calibrated for? If you know, I would greatly appreciate it if you would let me know or anyone else that reads this! Thanks in advance!!! Have a Safe & Happy 4th of July 🎉 🇺🇸🎆🇺🇸🎆🇺🇸🎆🇺🇸🎆
Nice video, good information. PSA has a sale on the 3-12x44 version of this scope for $90 so I have one on the way.
Good choice!
How do you like it?
Got the bushmaster on my new ruger 223 bolt action shot it for the first time once I zeroed in the scope hitting bullseye ever shot after that great scope for an affordable price
Apparently they're Nikon.
I just picked one up from Amazon to mount on a Henry single shot in 223 cal. I ordered it before I saw this this review and was very surprised with the quality. I have Nikon's on my other rifles but, can't get them anymore. They were a affordable but good quality scope.
Agreed. It wouldn't surprise me if some of the folks at Nikon went over to Sig.
Very useful😮
Glad you think so! Hope you subscribe.
Thank you for the review on this scope. By all accounts it appears to be of sound quality and manufactured with the hunter in mind. Though personally, I cannot use a scope, I'm confident in your evaluation of this model. Well done.👍
You bet
Why no scope? Are you a die hard iron sight guy or a red dot dude?
@@BeReal918 Well sir, I'm in a unique position. After cataract surgery in both eyes, I was left with perfect vision at a distance. And I mean perfect! However, my up close vision is deplorable! Scopes and red dot devices are, in actual practice, useless to me. But stock standard iron sights are fine. Further, on pistols, a 2" snubnose revolver is out of the question. A total blur! But a 3" barrel pistol is usable, as the front sight is no longer that floating blur.
I shoot primarily leverguns with semi-buckhorn sights with great results. The only centerfire rifle I have, a box stock AR15 carbine M4 clone with carryhandle sights, is a fine weapon for me. However, if I attached an optic to it, it becomes more of a club to me. Hope that explains things better for my particular situation.
@An Angry Ranger Oh ok, that makes sense. I like iron sight myself and have astigmatism in both eyes so red dots are a no go for me too. I happen to enjoy shooting my ar-15 with the carry handle & A2 front sights. I'm hoping to save up for an eotech because apparently holographic sights are best for those with astigmatism. Anyways have a good one and keep shooting!!
Just bought one I think they might be fantastic nice glass,I like the longer length too
For the price this is still the sharpest budget 9x I've ever tested. Hope you subscribed.
great review for this buckmaster scope 3x9x40 can you make a review for 4x16x44 buckmaster thanks
Thanks
No problem. Hope you subscirbe
Great video! Have you thought of doing a side by side comparison between the sig buckmaster and vortex crossfire II?
Possibly! I have to get a range buddy with a Crossfire II and I'll do it. Hope you subscribed.
@@Moondog2A I did. You’re review was very in-depth. I enjoyed it
Outstanding and concise review...thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Hope you subscribe.
I was really curious about the quality of this scope. Seems like a good scope for the money.
I was pleasantly surprised. I thought it would be like a Walmart Bushnell.
I love mine so much i bought another with a larger objective !!
Which size did you get?
@@Moondog2A 3-9x50
Well good hunting and thanks for subscribing. Happy New Year!
I have a SIG Romeo 5 and like it a lot. I have the SIG Buckmaster 3-9x50mm on order to go on a left-hand Savage Axis II. This gives me some hope that it will give decent service.
Let us know when you get a chance to test it. Hope you subscribe.
After 3 months, what do you think?
As part of the Royal Family of Unfinished Projects. It's still in the box, the rifle in the safe, and nothing done to it. With 100+ weather here daily, I'm working my way along with other unfinished projects in a variety of areas (ham radio, photography, unburying my Wolf Den, and resetting it for better use in all the above.) I can not get finished soon. Lol. I'm sure it will be fine though.
I was watching thinking damn he's being kinda rough on the turrets. Then @8 you just went to freaking town on them. Subbed. All the reviewers should do this.
Thanks! It's a little challenging getting the rifle rest or table not to move a little when doing this.
Your looking at a Nikon scope with a Sig name. Sig bought them out quietly 2019...
I thought some of the Nikon scope business went to Bushnell? Good to know. No wonder this scope is usually sharp for a budget SIG.
I purchased one but felt the glass was a bit dim, and on my example the build quality failed due to partial stiffness of the power range adjustment, yet smooth on the other side. Also, one could see the sidewalls of the scope tube when looking through it. I however do not believe being able to see the sidewalls of a scope tube when looking through it means the scope is inoperable, rather that it is just a luxury by other products to not to be distracted by the extra visuals, please correct me if I am wrong, other than that, I liked the scope, but it was the failed build quality that forced me to exchange it for something else, which was too bad because I bought the combo pack that came with a rangefinder that I am sure would've been better than the old Bushnell pinpoint that I bought at a thrift store. Thanks for another interesting video and hope to keep on seeing more.
Hope you subscribed and you'll see the old YT algorithm show you more of my reviews. The Buckmaster is only 40mm and not the brightest glass. It could do better if it was a 50mm probably.
In the future could you include the parallax info like what distance it’s set at or if adjustable what the close focus is . Also on the turrets would you show if there is indication markings on the post so you know what rotation you are on. PCP air rifles are becoming very popular so a close focus of the parallax like 10 yards or close is a must for a lot of shooters along with the turret rotation indicator.
On this particular scope it's 100yrds. And no there isn't a rotation indicator. This isn't a good PCP scope. I would recommend a Arken EPL4 or the new model Athlon Argos. Both have a 10yrd min focus. Hope you subscribed. If you have a budget under $100, I'd consider a Monstrum or UTG.
Great scope,beats most of its competitors a best buy
Agreed. Hope you subscribed.
NiipleTwisting test is hilarious
I credit Cyclops Joe videos for that name
I have this scope on a marlin 1894 44 mag it is as clear as my vortex scopes.I think this is a great scope for what it costs.
Yeah, for less than 1/2 the cost of a Vortex.
Just bought this scope for my Marlin 1894 as well. Can't wait to use this for deer hunting next year.
Just picked this scope up. Very nice for $85. I did not want to buy a scope for the range that cost as much as my rifle, just doesn’t make sense to me. Hoping for longevity... we’ll see.
SIG will be around forever so I would expect them to honor their warrentees. Hope you subscribe.
@@Moondog2Ayeah and talk about an amazing warranty infinite warranty that requires no receipt or anyting it's good enough for me.
Do you think this scope will be ok on a AR 450 Bushmaster or would you go with a Vortex crossfire 2
It'll hold zero on a 450. You can't go wrong with either but for the price, the SIG is a better value. Hope you subscribe.
Nipple tester test got me feeling froggy lol this scope is pretty good zero was quite simple
It's a darn fine scope for the price. SIG is very under-rated for rifle optics.
Thanks , I’m looking for a military style scope / laser dot good to 100yds for my customised Ruger 10/22 . Any thoughts . I usually deerstalk and have a Leica Scope on my Sako 82M deluxe rifle chambered in 30-06 but recently discovered the fun of 22lr and the Ruger 10/22 . Only shot at 25yds with a cheap bushnell scope which I fear is inadequate for 100yds . Any thoughts
By military-style, do you mean external features or the reticle?
Have you tried an LPVO like the Sig amzn.to/3BNzNhc
or a Primary Arms amzn.to/3RSlIF2
@@Moondog2A reticle , so I can hold over rather than adjust . Thanks for suggestions
How do you find info on the bdc reticle I'm would like to know what the lines are for for certain calibers
Not even in their manual. You'd think they'd at least do a basic one using one of their rifles and Winchester or some other ammo they have a partnership with?

@@Moondog2A mine is a whiskey 3. 4-12×40 with the quadplex bdc reticle no info found anywhere
Rumor has it that sig buckmaster replaced the nikon buckmaster both with similar bdc reticles, apparently nikon has a chart for the their buckmaster scope. I just ordered my sig buckmaster tonight so i have not had the chance to test this out but I plan to come range time with it. I looked at pics of both reticles and they seem pretty similar so im figuring it should atleast get you in the ballpark without wasting a bunch of ammo. If anyone wants to try before I can let me know how it works.
Are any of the knobs on the turns or the diopter mede of plastic
Dioopter and magnification are metal.
That sucks that they didn't keep the spring-loaded turrets like when Nikon had the Buckmaster 2. Those are really nice. You didn't need a wrench to loosen any screw you could just pull up on the turret and turn it to zero.
The reset was a pull up on the Nikon? How did they lock if you pulled them to reset?
@@Moondog2A they're spring loaded so you turn them to dial in and once you have dialed them in you pull up the the dial and turn it to zero and then release the dial so it sits down on zero and then you screw the caps on. Very easy and note tools required. Can do it right there when you finished shooting
@@Moondog2A Description
- Compact riflescope with 4 to 12x magnification and 40mm objective lens.

- Zero-reset turret with spring-loaded adjustment knob; 3.7 inches of eye relief.
- Nitrogen-filled, o-ring-sealed housing for waterproof, fog proof performance.
- BDC reticle; quick-focus eyepiece; measures 14.1 inches.
Directly from Nikon.
What the difference in the buck master and the regular sig 3×9×40
If by "regular" mean the Whiskey 3-9x40, it's a reticles. The Buckmaster has a BDC reticle.
So what zoom should i dial my scope to if im shooting at 100yrds with 5.56 Nato
If you're always shooting at targets at 100yrds with the same ammo, then it's whatever zoom you prefer to use. If you're shooting in low light, I'd dial in a lower zoom (4x) to get a brighter image.
Would this fit on a .308 bolt action rifle
Most certainly. I'm pretty sure this is primarily bought for rifles of that caliber.
Do you think this scope would be good to put on a AR-10 .308?
Yes, especially if you hunt with your AR10
At what distances can I hit targets with with this scope. I'm a rookie hunter and do not know too much about scopes yet.
Since the 1970s most hunting scopes were 3-9x so you should be able to hit any game with this type of scope.
@@Moondog2A thank you so much
@@HekticGaming At this price, it's a good starter scope. If you find you need more, you can sink more money into a Vortex, Athlon or Leupold. But this should be fine for most shooters. Good hunting. Hope you subscribed?
@@Moondog2A yes sir sure did.
Not a bad scope at all. Especially for $80!!!
It's my favorite scope under 90
Is there a ballistic calculator for their bdc?
Not even in their manual. You'd think they'd at least do a basic one using one of their rifles and Winchester or some other ammo they have a partnership with? www.sigsauer.com/media/sigsauer/resources/21SIG3349_Buckmasters_Manual-7403162-01-R01.pdf
@@Moondog2A Silly any scope maker with a BDC doesn't at least have a ballistic app of some sort for their reticles. What gets me, is when makers show their scopes, but not the reticles in their advertisements and information for their product. Can be a expensive process figuring it out with ammo cost on hold points for bdc.
@@Hill_Billy_Without_A_Hill Agreed. They should at least give you a ballpark number to get started, right?
@@Hill_Billy_Without_A_Hillthey have a rangefinder that syncs with it.
Sig scope seems better than the riton huh
In the sub 100 price range, you won't find much better than this scope.
@@Moondog2A so which is better the sig scope or riton? For image and color clarity
@@jason200912 Which Riton?
@@Moondog2A each onr
@@Moondog2A my riton 9-24x just arrived today. Very clear glass. Real good stuff
Sig Sauer is misspelled in the title and in the description. Makes you seem sloppy.
Thanks for pointing that out.
😑
You really love spinning the sht out of those turrets
Who doesn't?
Good video. If you leave the turret bolt how it is will it retain zero? Do you have to tighten to leave it?
@@xDOOM95 I don't understand your question? Are you asking if the turrets lock?
I figured it out. Didn’t realize the bolt was for return to zero. Thx mr dog
@@xDOOM95 You're welcome. Hope you subscribe.
I have this scope ..I do not like the focus ability is terrible
What about it is an issue. The fine adjustment?

Merry Christmas
Get rid of the annoying elevator music
No.
Nerd. Who cares about Spider-Man.
Just bought one to put on my AR10. Got it on sale for 100$. Hope I like it
Let us know how you like it? And I hope you subscribe.
How well is it holding zero?
@@Callsign_Prophet haven’t got my scope in yet. It will be here Monday. I’ve heard from other people they put it on a 450 bushmaster and it worked fine. I’ll let you know on my .308 when it comes in
@@jonnyblaze872 Thanks man.
@@Callsign_Prophet My buddy hasn't been to the range lately because of all the storms here in California. But before it started raining , it was holding up well on his AR15.
