Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Offering all the power necessary for long-range varmints but with a big enough field of view for close-quarter big-game hunting, the all-purpose Nikon Monarch 4-16x42SF sets the standard for scope performance. The riflescope offers such features as a one-piece, 1-inch main body tube; a creative Eyebox design with a huge ocular that provides a 4x magnification range and 4 inches of constant eye relief without sacrificing the field of view; an ultra ClearCoat system for 95 percent light transmission; and fully multicoated, super-high-performance lenses. After the lenses are cut and polished, Nikon coats them with multiple layers of anti-reflective compounds. The compounds serve to boost light transmission, improve contrast (to pull game out of its surroundings), deliver true color rendition and flare-free viewing, and enhance the overall image quality. The scope's BDC reticle, meanwhile, is perhaps the most compelling feature, as its trajectory-compensating system is designed and calibrated to provide fast, simple aiming points for various shot distances. The unique system integrates a series of small "ballistic circles" to produce an unobstructed view of the target.

In addition, the riflescope is prepared for years of reliable service thanks to its 100-percent waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof housing. The scope is O-ring sealed, oxygen purged, and nitrogen filled to prevent fogging, while the waterproof performance is guaranteed, even with the windage and elevation caps off. Other details include a quick focus eyepiece; a locking side-focus parallax adjustment; interchangeable turret technology with target-style windage and elevation adjustment knobs and caps; enhanced ring spacing that allows you to mount the scope on virtually any rifle; and a unique zoom control with rearward facing numbers. Sunshade adaptable, the riflescope carries Nikon's full lifetime warranty.

I bought this scope for my RRA AR15 Varmint 20" barrel and the Armalite EX0027 scope mount, they fit perfectly for the AR. The scope is very clear and bright. In addition, it has side focus adjustment which allows you to focus on targets beyond couple hunderd yards. I paid $358 for this scope so I think it was a good deal.

This is my second Nikon Rifle Scope. Light transmission is great. My only problem is that the recticle is too thin and can be hard to see where the crosshairs actually cross. The little circles for the BDC are also hard to see (assuming my eyes are good :). I would probably go with the Nikoplex recticle like on my first Nikon Scope which I would give 5 stars.

Took my first hog with this scope about 275 yards out. It holds up pretty well so far. I Would definitely buy another one if I have another rifle to mount it on.
