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 Nikoplex reticle, meanwhile, is a favorite of American sportsmen, with thicker posts on the top, bottom, and sides and thinner center crosshairs for precision aiming under all light conditions.

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.

Product Description

The new Monarch Riflescope Series features Monarch Eye Box Technology, a huge ocular with a generous field of view that provides 4-times magnification zoom range and four inches of constant eye relief. Quick-focus eyepiece allows for a crisp, detailed sight picture. Magnification reference numbers are viewable from the shooter's position thanks to Smooth Zoom Control. Standard on all Long Range Monarch riflescopes, Nikon's easy-to reach dial allows you to quickly focus from a shooting position. Enhanced Mount Ring Spacing provides mounting to virtually any rifle action regardless of caliber, even magnum length actions. (2.5-10x50 may require extension rings in some cases). Ultra ClearCoat Optical System is the basis of the new Monarch scope. It consists of superfine Eco-Glass lens glass and Nikon's proprietary anti-reflection multi-coating technology that boost light transmission up to its theoretical maximum - 95% One-Piece Main Body Tubes. The scope is milled from aircraft-grade aluminum for minimum weight and maximum strength and durability, and is sunshade adaptable. Monarch Riflescopes are waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof .

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard to beat quality for the price., March 29, 2011

I try to buy as many US-made products as possible, but with most of the national brands manufacturing their scopes overseas anyway (just check where some of the "L" scopes are made!), it is hard to beat the cost/quality of Nikon scopes. Try them. You have to spend twice as much to get this clarity and lack of distortion from other brands. Even the legendary ones.
This is NOT made in Japan like the top of the line Nikon scopes (Monarch X). The unit I received of this model is made in the Philipines and competes very well indeed with optics made in China.
I am very happy with my purchase.

Good for target shooting. Also good for varment hunting. Downside there is not much eye relief. The scope is very clear. I am very pleased with this scope. I would recommend it.

The scope is awesome. I have used at 100yd max so far and can do so much more, just a nice scope. You can pay more for the name of different brands if you like but this one is fine.
