A very worthy scope for a fraction of the price
By Michael Jackson
This scope deserves a better rating than the average of the two already posted. So here I go. Since the specs speak for themselves I won't bother repeating them -- Instead I'll just list a couple of my own observations:Pros:The clarity is superb, period. Maybe there's some light sensor out there that can tell the difference between this scope and a 44mm from a more expensive brand, but so help me I can't tell. Light transmission is excellent and at less than half the cost, this thing is a steal.The turrets are crisp and solid without being too tight and *three sizes are included* for both the windage and elevation (yes, 6 total).The BDC reticule is NOT as think as another reviewer makes it out to be. I'd call it average at worst -- the last time I went out with it I got 3 through a dime at 100yds, so yeah - you can see the bulls eye no problem. The BDC is dialed in for use at 18x magnification for the off-the-shelf 30-06 loads I use (for 55grain .223 it's calibrated to be accurate at 20x). Depending on your loads this could change so pick up the "Spot On" iPhone app or visit their site to get custom BDC charts.Cons:The tick marks on *one* of the windage turrets that came with my scope are just a HAIR off and don't line up as perfectly with the selection mark as the rest do. It's subtle and nothing to care about, but I was surprised to see the flaw after noticing how well the other included turrets lined up.Also, like all scopes, this one has slight blurring and convergence issues at its highest power. It's plenty usable, but not as bright. Also, the exit pupil shrinks quickly at that magnification so I find myself leaning too far into the scope to compensate - I actually bumped my brow with it shooting 30-06 ... won't do that again. LOL! Running at 19x solves these problems and, honestly, you can hardly tell the magnification difference at 19 vs 20x.Conclusion:After using this on my X-Bolt for 7 months, I'm just as in love with it today as the day I bought it. And at this price, it's a steal.

Excellent Scope!!!
By S. Brown
This Nikon Monarch scope more than does the job. I also own a 4-16x50; I cannot distinguish a difference in light gathering between the two objectives. Since I'm getting older and my eyes aren't what they used to by, I found that these higher power scopes really help me distinguish targets from background. Nikon makes fine lenses and it's good to see that they have diversified into the riflescope side of the business. I highly recommend the monarch line and specifically this BDC version.
