Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Monarch 5-20x44SF riflescope combines a flexible magnification range with a high-resolution 44mm objective lens, helping set 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. The riflescope carries Nikon's full lifetime warranty.

I bought my first .223 rifle and after much research, debate, and thought finally opted for this scope from Amazon which was $100 less than other websites. I'm very happy with my decision. My criteria was to see a 22 caliber hole at 100 yards from a benchrest and yet light enough to shoot offhand and carry around. This is the best compromise of those requirements. Very few other scopes can do that. Yes, I can see 22 cal holes at 100 yards if the light is good even in the black. In bad light I have a difficult time seeing the bullet holes in the black. White is ok. I now print out my own targets on bright white paper with less black for the bullseye. The focus is very easy. I don't see a need for a large wheel. The yardage on the SF seems to be off so you really can't use it as a rangefinder without recalibration. All the clicks are crisp and the caps keep everything in place. I have not tried either of the two sets of dials that came with the scope yet as the smaller ones seem to work fine. The clarity is excellent in good light. I can easily see the 10 ring at 100 yards. At low light it's a little dark at 20 power but I expected that. Backing off on the power fixes that problem. If I were primarily benchrest shooting I would get a larger scope like the 8-32 just so I could see the bullet holes at 200 yards. Nikoplex works fine. Perhaps a dot would be better for targets.

i researched many scopes before buying this Nikon.I did side by side comparisons in particular with Leupold at Cabelas and Gander mountain and the level of quality and clarity for the money made this purchase a no brainer.In my opinion Nikon offers the most for the least.Thier optics are crisp and right out of the box at 250 yards I had no issues with parallax.Scope is mounted on a Savage 243.

I have used several scopes Leupold, Redfield, Burris and NONE have matched this scope for its clairity and functionality. NIKON GLASS is superior. I have tested it in extremely hot conditions and the rain and so far no problems with fogging. I love varmit shooting and this scope is PERFECT for that. I priced this scope in several places and as you can see, I purchased it here. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
