When you are dead, you don't know you are dead.It is difficult only for others.
It is the same when you are stupid. |

Monarch of the 2. I have the 2.5-10x42 and love it.

Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.
Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow Now the rules have changed again. |

I have actually had and used both. I found they were both very good. best thing if you can is to look at both yourself and see which you like better. the team primos is actually a monarch ucc If I remember correctly.

ive looked through a monarch ucc at local store..didnt know if the 2.5-10 would be better from the wider field of view or from the little xtra eye relief...then again it may not be enough of a difference for the xtra $$

The "new" Monarchs have a 4x erector and 4" fixed eye relief. The glass, I believe on both, to be the same, my friend. I had a 4-16x new Monarch. Good scope. The ocular housing is a little on the large size, thus it may interfere with your bolt throw, on certain rifles. A CZ, for example, could be a problem. |

I have a Monarch Gold 2.5 - 10 X 50 30 MM with Talley mounts on a CZ and it works great. Peddler |
