Nikon Buckmaster Side Focus

[esa from NY]

Once again, the expert opinion of the forum is requested.

Two new toys are to arrive soon and both of them need new eyes.

For the one toy, I got the Big BSA 10-50x60 - Such is to be used for field target.

The other toy, of equal accuracy is intended for everyday fun. Some claim this toy is good to 70 yards on a .20. So my question has come down to which scope?

I have concluded that side focus parallax adjustment makes it a bit easier when you have the destination on the dot. Mil Dot is also desirable. Being in the U.S. Bushnell is a great glass at a great price, but no SF on the high end.

So, since the whole budget has gonne to the toys and the big BSA, I am looking at the Nikon BuckMaster 4.5-14x40 Mdot with the SF. The price is great but could not find it in a store to check the glass.

Any comments on that? (the Hawke/deben idea was dismissed in a previous post).

Pictures to follow when the toys arrive.

Thank you again for the great input.

Had a play with the Nikon Monarch over the weekend, not sidewheel but glass was superb, unfortunately non-mildot too, otherwise it'd be perfect for HFT.
