Has anyone had any experience with the Nikon Buckmaster 6-18x40mm Side Focus scope. This would be a coyote,PD and squirrel scope. Any comments. $300 is about my limit for a scope.

I think the Buckmasters compare very favorably with the Burris Fullfield II's. I have a pair of the 3-9X FFII's with the Ballistic Plex reticle, which I thought were the best value available when I purchased them. I then compared them to a 3-9X Nikon Buckmasters that one of son's friends had mounted on a Ruger .338 WM. The Nikon was at least as clear and bright as my Burris, and would probably be a toss up. Don't think either one would be a bad choice. Other comparable scopes that I have no experience with are the Sightron SII, and the Bushnell Elite 3200. The Weaver V9 is also a pretty good scope for the money. Recently I have seen some special deals on Nikon Monarch scopes as well as Weaver Grand Slams that put them in the same price class as the Buckmasters and FFII, and one of those might be the best deal yet if you could track one down.

I know they won't beat a leupold or zeiss, but both are out of my price range when you start getting past the 3-9x40's.
