Topher's Review of Nikon MONARCH 3 Rifle Scope w/ Custom XR Turret - 4-16x42mm

I purchased this for a long range build. All the features of the scope are great. I love the custom turret. The fact that you can dial multiple revolutions without losing your place. The glass is clear. It has a great side focus for parallax. Great build quality. Where this scope losses out is at magnification above 8x. Once you get above 8x and all the way to 16x the scope gets increasingly cloudy and the eye relief become much more sensitive. The slightest movement will cause you to lose your sight picture. If this scope was for medium range it would be fine, but the 10-16x adjustment is nearly useless. I opted for a Leupold Mark AR MOD 1. Better glass and eye relief. Also much lighter than the Nikon.
Pros:
  • Turrets
  • Side Focus
  • Nikon warranty
  • Great at low Magnification
Cons:
  • Heavy
  • poor eye relief
  • Unusable at high magnfication
Best Used for:
  • Medium range
Would Recommend: No
