UCC= Ultra,,,Clear,,,Coat.
 
The difference is in the lens coatings. The UCC is the better coating and is an excellent scope optically for the money. If you have a chance to get a UCC Monarch on sale, go for it.

I believe it stands for Ultra Clear Coat(ings).  For the money, Nikon scopes are good deal IMO.

I think the ucc coatings are used on the 2nd and 3rd(newest version) of the monarchs. They are supposidly brighter but i prefer the warmer image on the first gen of monarchs, but that's just my preference. Smile
