Most Helpful Positive Review Nikon Monarch 3 2-8x32 BDC Scope
I mounted this scope on a Limited Edition Marlin 336C with Leupold 1 pc. base and medium Leupold quick release rings. It is a great set up, but you'll want to use the hammer spur extension for proper thumb clearance. Especially if your wear gloves. I'm not sure if low rings will clear the ocular end...

Most Helpful Negative Review Useless
The ocular is too large in diameter. Will not fit on either of my rifles, the bolt handle drags or hits. Would have to use too high of rings leaving the objective too high. Kimber 84M, Ruger 77 flat bolt. Pros: clear Cons: The ocular is huge!

Nikon Monarch 3 2x8x32 bdc rifle scope

by Chuck O, Verified Owner from NH, United States Written on April 14, 2018
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.
Best Used for:
  • Target and hunting

Good scope but BDC reticle is too small for me

by Lick Creek, from IN, United States Written on March 16, 2017
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
Cons:
  • None
Would recommend: Yes

Fantastic scope

by MattP, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on January 30, 2017
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
Cons:
  • price
Best Used for:
  • hunting
  • target

Nikon is always money well spent

by leeob, from MS, United States Written on April 14, 2016
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

The Nikon Monarch 3

by Hounddog, from MS, United States Written on February 23, 2015
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.

Nikon 2-8 x32

by OMCHamlin, from VA, United States Written on October 19, 2014
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.
Pros:
  • Size and Weight
Cons:
  • needs the option for an illuminated reticle
Best Used for:
  • short to medium range hunting
Would recommend: Yes
