Can anyone help me with this, I need a 1-4x Illuminated and being a Nikon fan I wanted the new Monarch African, however it is $600 more than the standard plex or even the ol slug hunter. The Bushnell 4200 is $400 and the Leupold is Somewhere in the middle. With the militayr discount I can get the Leupold LESS than a nikon african.
Will the monarch african prices come down to be more realistic? I was expecting a $400 price point not $8-900. I am not prepared to commit the same amount on my AR optic as my entire pre-obama rifle.
Any suggestions, my buddies keep telling me not to buy the non-illuminated as I will not be able to shoot 1/2 the time.

I agree, Nikon has always priced their products compedatively. I have not physically seen the new 30mm african series scopes, but they must be pretty nice to garner the prices their asking.

I hear great things about the 4200.
LaRue makes great mounts of whatever optic you choose. |

I had the 4200, it was decent but nothing too exciting
I have always been a Nikon fan but the price is very, very steep had 2 IOR 1.1-4, neither one impressed me much The Meopta Kdot is very nice and has daytime ill but is way too bright for night hunting I think the new Triijicon Tr24 1-4 30mm is going to be very hard to beat |

rancid coolaid, what price range will these be? I see the TR21 around $600, if it that much I may just go Leupold? |

Hope for $700, expect $1,000.
I'd take a TR21 over a Leupy any day, but that's just me. And so much the more with the TR23. Personally, I'm putting up with a Millett and waiting for the Tr23. |

They are on the Trijicon site now for a retail of $900, which means expect around $700 I am guessing. http://trijicon.com/user/parts/parts_new.cfm?categoryID=5

Keep in mind that Vortex should have a new 1-4x24 scope in the Razor line some time this year. It is an interesting design with a somewhat uniques illumination system. I will keep you posted as I know more.
That having been said, I liked the 1-4x24 Trijicon too. ILya |

I saw three different version of the post/triangle retice and a #4 with bright dot.
I would probably go with the post/red triangle combination. ILya |

Please, someone correct me on this: it seems the eye relief on the TR21 is 3-48 inches and the eye relief on the "new improved" TR24 is 3.2, that can't be right - LESS eye relief?
If that is so, my whole plan is toast! |

According to the specs, the TR24 has 50% more FOV than the TR21, so it's entirely conceivable it could have less eye relief. Longer eye relief often comes at the expense of less FOV and vice-versa.
