Nikko Stirling Targetmaster scope 4x16x44 with scope camera dictionaryV2. Nikko Stirling Nighteater 8x32x60AG Review - Duration. Nikko Stirling Targetmaster Scope Unboxing Part 1.

Just as a quick disclaimer, this optic is mounted on a rimfire, not a centerfire. Also I do not work for the manufacturer or their distributors nor has any consideration been received. I have been considering this scope for the longest time as it has many of the features I’ve been looking for – mildot, side focus, target styled turrets, and higher magnification. Reviews are far and few between, most reviews (which are favorable) are based in the Field target arena – a very popular discipline in the UK / Europe – which these precision air rifles tend to eat up scopes due to their “double recoil” effect and constant turret adjustments. So I finally purchased one, they usually list between $300.00 and $350.00, and am very impressed with the performance of the optic for that price range. The Nikko Stirling scopes are also part of the Howa rifle packages, and can be viewed at many Gander Mountain outlets that carry the Howa line.

To start off it’s the Targetmaster model; 6-24X 56mm objective 30mm tube, side focus illuminated extended mildot (11 aiming / ranging points rather than the standard 9 per crosshair), 1/8th inch adjustment resettable to zero push pull target turreted scope. It also sports an ocular adjustment, comes with a 4.5” sunshade, and includes flip up style lens covers. There are 3 different reticles to choose from, I prefer the classic mildot style reticle (Depending on the model of Nikko, the mildot is calibrated at 10, 16, or 24X) There is a “Christmas tree” type LRX reticle (every line equals 1” increments on 10X @ 100yards, 2” @ 200, etc. For ranging and for holdover). And what Nikko calls an FT reticle. The FT appears to be a hybrid of the P4 reticle / mildot reticle that after doing a little resaarch on using the FT, provides a quick way to range and have an aiming point immediately available, for reference:. Every second line is near to the mildot equavilant for ranging @ the metric conversion, so those that utilize a mildot should be able to “convert” easily.

One report claims 38 MOA of Elevation / windage adjustment. My findings are that there are 48 1/8” clicks per revolution, 14 full revolutions + 7 clicks from stop to stop on both the elevation and windage – a total of 679 clicks on each. The turrets are of the push pull design, tall, and are boldly / clearly marked with numerals up to #5 on elevation (actually “6” when going to 0), and 0 to 3 on the windage both in the left or right adjustment, and also has an U and R with arrows on the turrets to confirm direction of adjustment.

Adjustments were actually spot on and passed the box / ladder test, it tracked well. Adjustments of the turrets were loud clicks that not only could be heard well, but felt too. The turret had a slight bit of “mushiness” to it, but was rock solid when pushed into the locked position. They are returnable to 0 by loosening a coin slotted retaining cap once the turret is in locked position, repositioning the 0 line on the turret to the arrow based on the base of the knob, then retightening the coin slotted cap. Oddly, the side focus knob has a different style of text than the rest of the labeling. I thought that this gave it a slightly cheapening look; they should have matched the labeling across the item.
