Thread: Nikon Monarch 4-16x42 - Anybody use one?

I'm looking at getting one for my .243 and chucking on the target turret upgrade kit. Basically want a solid hunting scope with the ability to dial out. It would go on a tilted base to compensate for the meager internal adjustment. I've been pretty impressed with the Nikon's I've used.

Beavis, if you get one, pls let us know what you think...

My only experience with Nikon Monarch is the 10x42 Binos, which punch well above their weight class, extremely good value for money, not sure if the rifle scopes are as good too.

The combo looks like a sweet deal for < US 500

Which reticle are you thinking of going for ?

Mil dot. The BDC reticle is meant to be good at nothing

I got the 4-16x50 SF Nikoplex.Ex. glass and dials well.Check,but IIRC the turret upgrades started at 5-20x44.none came with mine anyway.I have on a 6.5x47

Nikon offers the turret upgrade kit separately

I have the 3-9x40 so can't comment on the 4-16x42, but my one is extremely clear and has had around 250 rounds under it from my 7mmRM and hasn't shifted zero once. Not really into dialling so can't comment on that but clicks are positive.

Agree with EBF that it punches above its weight, way nicer than a VX1!

You can order mil turrets or even custom turrets for a particular load with their spot-on programme.

Looking at the M-223 for my .223.

I thought you meant the high turrets with the -20
