This Nikon 3-9x40 scope, with a matte finish, is in excellent condition. It has Nikons' Bullet Drop Compensation (BDC) long range hunting reticle. This reticle has a series of four small dots (really small open circles) below the crosshair that are used as aiming points for longer range shooting - no knobs to twist for those longer shots. The only cosmetic issues are a very few, very small surface scratches, mostly from the scope rings. This scope functions flawlessly and the optics are clear, bright, and without any scratches, cloudiness, or fogging.
