I purchased this scope a few years ago for my Winchester 94 30-30. After owning this scope, I was so impressed with its clarity, size, quality, function and the BDC I recently purchased a second one. I just recently purchased a new Henry 30-30 and mounted this second scope on this rifle. What’s extremely awesome is the phone app for the bdc. I picked my most accurate ammuntion for hunting. I then chronied that load applied it in the app and it tells you each level on the bdc for distance on each dot. This worked very well and I couldnt be happier with this scope. This scope fits the lever 30-30 rifles perfectly.

The BDC reticle circles on this scope are smaller than my other 3-9 X 40's and 2.5 -10.5 X 42's. This is a good scope but I couldn't see the BDC circles as well. I know this is due to 32mm objective so not really the scope's fault. I returned for 3 -9 X40 Prostaff. Nikons are great scopes. I own several other Nikon scopes and they have held up very well. Nikon has a clear advantage with their optical quality, price and especially their Spot-on ballistics program.
Pros:
- Clear glasss
- Good price for optical quality
Would recommend: Yes

This is my first Nikon and having owned Leupold, Trijicon, Vortex and other glass I think the bar was set pretty high. That said, I'm very impressed with the Monarch 3. I put it on a Savage MKII FV-SR and while the scope is overkill for this gun in terms of range and recoil, it is a fantastic scope nonetheless. Very clear, great in low-light, construction is top notch and the adjustments are precise and tactile. I had it zeroed (like keyhole zero) in less than 10 rounds. I wish I had another rifle because I'd get another Monarch 3 in a heartbeat. Highly recommend. I list "price" as a con only because it will be prohibitive to some folks, but I think this is worth the expense. It's the type of mid-range glass that you'll likely be passing down to your kids.
Pros:
- Construction
- Adjustments
- Clear
Would recommend: Yes

This is one of many Nikon scopes I've owned through the years. They always deliver outstanding performance and quality. This one is no different. Though I will probably never utilize all the reference points in the BDC, the functionality of the online ballistic computer has been close to spot on so far. I would/will buy another if the need arises for another rifle
Best Used for:
- close to mid range shooting
Would recommend: Yes

Really good scope for its low price!
Has one mounted a .308 rifle for 5 years and holds zero perfectly..
Perfect for close and long range shooting.
Highly recommended for deer or hog hunting!
Good luck

Like some of you I spend some time reading and looking through rifle scopes before buying. Go LOOK and I think you will find the glass to be sharp, clear and expect that WOW factor to kick in. You will not be disappointed.

I bought this to top a Marlin 375 for use as a black bear rifle. I bought it based on Nikon's reputation for bright, clear optics and this scope does not disappoint. This scope has crisp adjustments and for it's size, is very bright, and should make a decent scope to use at dusk. I would have liked a lit dot at the center of the crosshair but this is not available. This is a great compact scope for short to medium range use.
Cons:
- needs the option for an illuminated reticle
Best Used for:
- short to medium range hunting
Would recommend: Yes

Bought this for a 10/22 build to compete in cmp rimfire sporter matches, It is clear & light weight and the return to zero turrets are nice. Monarch series scopes are great value.
Pros: Clear and light weight
Would recommend: Yes
