Monarch is superior to the VXII. A closer comparison would be the VXIII and the Monarch. That debate is up for grabs.

The Monarch 3-9x40 wouldn't be a bad choice. I find that 9x is plenty for the "long range" shooting I do. Anything over 300 yards is long for me so it depends on your definition of "long range."

Not over 500 yards what do you think about the 4-12x40 to much? |

Nikon is crap... The sales people at largest gun dealer in W Pa will tell you the same thing... I was once considering the same scope.. They said " I would rather not sell you one" Nearly everyone they sold came back... Stick with leupold, Zeiss, Burris, I have and never had a broblem with any of them.. Sightron is not too bad.. Great warranty!!

Savageshooter.. You are on the right track with the power and objective size for your scope... I think you could do better for quality with the same or a bit more money.
P.S. Look at www.samplelist.com for Nikon scopes. 71refurbs.. Zeiss has a few too... Wonder where they come from... |

Between the Nikon Monarch and the Leupold VXII I would definitly go Monarch. Better optics in my opinion.

I am not Nikon's biggest fan as I tend to prefer Burris and Sightron,
but I do agree that Nikon makes a quality product for a good
price. Nikon Monarch is certainly better than the VX-II.

Most of the samplelist products will be trade ins or factory demo's/refurbished. A lot of the factory refurbished scopes just have cosmetic imperfections. Manufactures can't sell them as new so we buy them up and discount them. There's money to be saved if your not a perfectionist. Edited by Brady |

If you're talking about Nikon they will just have a 90 day warranty. |

For a $400 budget, I'd go with an SS.
