Nikon 2.5-10x42 Monarch Riflescope (Matte, Mildot)

Nikon pulls out all the stops with the monarch riflescope line. With 90 years of sport optics experience in its pocket, Nikon has engineered its Monarch flagship riflescope line to overcome many of the limiting factors common to many of today’s riflescopes—and to challenge the limits of optical science, as well. Nikon designed the Monarch around a new optical system created to give shooters increased versatility and superlative performance with virtually any type of rifle, in any caliber and in any imaginable hunting situation. While still maintaining the American-preferred one-inch diameter main body tube, Nikon engineers developed the new Monarch series to not only provide the shooter with a big, bright, sharp sight picture, but at the same time minimize the overall length of the riflescope—and maximize the mount ring spacing capability. The resulting line of riflescopes pushes the envelope of optical performance with Nikon’s lead-and-arsenic-free Eco Glass lenses and trademark Ultra ClearCoat anti-reflective multicoatings, is fast-handling, pleasing to the eye and very importantly, allows for mounting on virtually any rifle—even magnum-length actions. In addition to the enhanced ring spacing, the new riflescope design includes the new Monarch Eye Box design with its impressive 4-time zoom range and a very comfortable 4 inches of eye relief that remains constant throughout the power range without sacrificing field of view. In contrast, most competitive riflescopes supply less than 3-times magnification zoom capability and eye relief that varies by as much as a full inch between high and low powers. The Monarch’s massive ocular lens also delivers both a large high-resolution sight picture and the maximum field of view corresponding to each power setting. As an additional convenience feature, Nikon has placed rear-facing magnification indicators on the zoom control and included a quick-focus eyepiece on the new Monarch Eye Box.

Nikon designed its top-performing Monarch Riflescopes with an optical system that works on virtually any type of rifle, in any caliber--including magnum-length actions. Built for a strong performance in any conditions, the Monarch Riflescope maintains the American-preferred one-inch diameter main body tube, while delivering a big, bright, and sharp sight picture. This design minimizes the overall length of the riflescope, while maximizing the mount ring spacing capability, allowing the scope to be mounted on virtually any rifle.

The Monarch's Ultra ClearCoat Optical System, meanwhile, provides the shooter with a bright, sharp, incredibly flat sight picture and light transmission up to the theoretical maximum 95 percent. At the same time, the scope's wide 2.5 to 10x magnification range and large ocular lens provides both a large, high-resolution sight picture and the maximum field of view corresponding to each power setting.

Built for a lifetime of use, the Monarch Riflescope boasts sturdy one-piece tube construction and is made with aircraft grade aluminum. The scope is nitrogen purged and O-ring sealed to ensure crystal clear optics. The Monarch Riflescope can be customized with interchangeable turret technology and can also be outfitted with a sunshade to protect from glare and dust or rain. All Monarch Riflescope carry a full lifetime warranty from Nikon.
