Most Helpful Positive Review Great glass at a fantastic price
You will not find a better scope with this magnification in the $4-500 range. I have this mounted on a savage model 10 in 223, and it helps me shoot 1/8" MOA. The side focus is nice, I love the mid-height turrets. The glass is unreal at this price point. Compared side by side at the range ...

Most Helpful Negative Review Monarch Series
All that excellent glass for all that money and Nikon decides to include poor parallax adjustment. The 4-16 mag scope, for instance, will be blurry at anything closer than 50 yards. At these prices this scope should do better than that.

Nikon Monarch 4-16x42

by Legacy Reviewer, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on November 28, 2013
This is a great scope. The glass is very clear, and for the price, you can't beat it. Nikon quality is outstanding. My only "con" is that it's a little too heavy for using on a lightweight hunting rifle, but other than that, it's perfect.
Pros: Excellent Magnification Range
Cons: Heavy
Would recommend: Yes

4-16x42SF mildot recticle

by Legacy Reviewer, from MD, United States Written on February 11, 2013
i bought this scope when it went on sale on optics planet for $340. i put it on my remington model 700 sps 22-250 and it looks great. very clear glass and holds zero. the side focus is a definite plus. cant go wrong with lifetime warranty. i would compare this scopes quality and performance to a leupold vx-2. definetly a great scope for the price.
Pros: clarity, price, side focus, collects alot of light, free scope caps
Cons: recticle could be thinner, should come with free sunshade like the 5-20x44sf model
Would recommend: Yes
