Bdc Matte Model Scopes

Being the owner/operator of a brick and mortar gun store, one question that is constantly asked is "what's the best scope for the money?" My answer has been the same for the last 3 years: the Nikon Monarch series.

Why do I feel that way? Great question. Here's why:

Among the most important features of any rifle scope is the caliber of the glass utilized in the lenses. Quite simply, lower quality glass indicates lesser quality clarity and picture. A number of competitors use glass or lenses which are manufactured abroad. Nikon only utilizes glass made in the US. The Monarch series optics boasts a 95% rate of light transmission. This suggests that out of 100% of the light source that passes through the lenses, the Monarch transmits 95% to your eye. While various scope manufacturers boast a 95% or higher level of light transmission, Nikon means it. The sight picture and depth of clarity are superior.

The Nikon Monarch models also includes a standard diameter objective lens of 42mm, while the market standard for objective lens is 40mm. That additional 2mm allows more light to pass through the scope and provides much better efficiency in reduced light situations.

All Monarch scopes that are a 3X12 or higher use a side focus adjustment. If you haven't employed side focus, you honestly ought to give it a try. After using an SF Nikon, I've never gone back to the more traditional bell focus. Side focus lets you put your eye on the target while focusing in. That process is extremely troublesome with a bell focus.

One other reason I genuinely think the Monarch is a best buy involves the prolonged eye relief. The Monarch's provide extremely good eye relief when wanting to line up the shot. This makes for very fast target acquisition under any circumstances. Scopes with a lower eye relief threshold force the shooter to change his or her head back and forth in an effort to find the optimal eye relief. With the Monarch, you just shoulder, focus, and shoot.

In addition to the lifetime warranty offered by Nikon, the Monarch is also nitrogen purged so it is fog proof. The primary tube of every Monarch is manufactured from forged aluminum which features a strength to weight ratio higher than metal.

Nikon markets the Monarch is 9 distinctive models ranging from a 2-8X all the way up to a 8-32X, so one is certain to fulfill your shooting needs.

When you actually put side by side all the features of the Monarch against similar competitors, and then factor in the price points, the Nikon continually seems to come out a winner in my book.

Choosing the best rifle scope for the money can be a difficult challenge. Many shooters go through somewhat of a continual buy and test procedure until they find that "perfect" scope. If you are still in that process or looking for a high performing scope at a great price then consider taking a look at the Nikon Monarch Scope series.
