In addition, the riflescope is prepared for years of reliable service thanks to its 100-percent waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof housing. The scope is O-ring sealed, oxygen purged, and nitrogen filled to prevent fogging, while the waterproof performance is guaranteed, even with the windage and elevation caps off. Other details include a quick focus eyepiece; a locking side-focus parallax adjustment; interchangeable turret technology with target-style windage and elevation adjustment knobs and caps; enhanced ring spacing that allows you to mount the scope on virtually any rifle; and a unique zoom control with rearward facing numbers. The riflescope carries Nikon's full lifetime warranty.

This review is from: Monarch Riflescope 5-20x44SF Matte BDC (Sports) This scope deserves a better rating than the average of the two already posted. So here I go. Since the specs speak for themselves I won't bother repeating them -- Instead I'll just list a couple of my own observations:
Pros: The clarity is superb, period. Maybe there's some light sensor out there that can tell the difference between this scope and a 44mm from a more expensive brand, but so help me I can't tell. Light transmission is excellent and at less than half the cost, this thing is a steal. The turrets are crisp and solid without being too tight and *three sizes are included* for both the windage and elevation (yes, 6 total). The BDC reticule is NOT as think as another reviewer makes it out to be. I'd call it average at worst -- the last time I went out with it I got 3 through a dime at 100yds, so yeah - you can see the bulls eye no problem. The BDC is dialed in for use at 18x magnification for the off-the-shelf 30-06...Read more 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Monarch Riflescope 5-20x44SF Matte BDC (Sports) This Nikon Monarch scope more than does the job. I also own a 4-16x50; I cannot distinguish a difference in light gathering between the two objectives. Since I'm getting older and my eyes aren't what they used to by, I found that these higher power scopes really help me distinguish targets from background. Nikon makes fine lenses and it's good to see that they have diversified into the riflescope side of the business. I highly recommend the monarch line and specifically this BDC version. 2 of 4 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Monarch Riflescope 5-20x44SF Matte BDC (Sports) Overall I am very disappointed with this scope. I thought I would save some money and not buy a more expensive Leupold like others I have. The BDC reticle on the Nikon Monarch is way too thick and takes up way too much of the field of view. When shooting at 100 yards, the reticle hides the bulls eye on the targets I use. Makes it difficult to get good groups or even sight the scope in. I have also found it difficult to focus the scope for different yardage. Lettering on the targets are blurry with the Nikon while crystal clear with a Leupold at 100 yards. To be fair, I have not tried the scope past 100 yards where it may do better but I don't have these issues with the Leupold's I own (even the cheaper ones). Again, to be fair the Leupold I am comparing to costs almost twice as much as I paid for the Nikon, but I wish I would have spent the extra money. I have talked to several people at the range who love their Nikon Monarch but I have not been impressed with mine. |
