    Nikon quality

    Anyone using either the prostaff or monarch lines of scopes. I've been looking for something for my 7 mag and these keep popping up, I've read alot of reviews and people seem extremely happy with there Nikon's. I just wanted to see if anyone here has any experience.

    I have a BDC Prostaff 3-9x on my M77 MkII. I didn't pay much for it (eBay), but am incredibly pleased. Great quality glass, fair FOV, and somewhat forgiving eye relief...especially in light of the fact that I spent less than $90 on it.

      I've had at least a dozen nikons. I'd skip the Monarch, didn't much like the tight eye relief. The Prostaff and buckmasters are great scopes, but a Leupold is not much more.

        I was originally looking at Leopold or Burris and saw how many good ratings the Nikon's got and was kinda surprised by the price point. Time to get some hands on and actually look through one before making a decision. Thanks for your replies

          I'd get another Nikon before another burris. The lower end burris scopes have some halo effect that the nikons dont.

            Nikon Prostaff are good scopes. Weaver 40/44 are too. Both made in Philippines and wouldn't surprise me if same building.

              My Nikon red dot monarch was a bad experience. Support was also weak.

                Save yourself all the trouble and just get a Leupold if it is for hunting. A duplex reticle sighted in 2.5-2.75" high at 100 yard and you are ready to hunt. Just hold on the animal at ranges of 500yards or less and you will have meat in the freezer
                If just a fair weather plinking rifle get almost anything
                A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.

                  I've got a Burris Xtr II. Zero complaints. I'd consider one of those

                    Give the Redfield "Revolution" scopes a look. They are made by Leupold these days, are top quality and warranted for life. I have four of them on various rifles and they have performed very well.

                      I have a few Nikon Monarchs on different rifles... I really like the fast focus eye adjustment ,,as i used to share my rifles with my son ... Excellent glass and 4inchs of eye relief through the power scale... I just mounted a 1.5x6 monarch gold an my new ar build and am really happy with it... So clear edge to edge... It is a used lnib scope with warne quick detach rings I almost stole on ebay a few years ago,, and just sitting in my safe... I was always concerned that Natchez always had a ton of "reconditioned' Nikons on sale,, but I have never had a problem with mine... Give them a good look thru... Cheers..

                        The only negative thing I can say about Nikon is that they don't have a lifetime warranty. At least they didn't when I was looking for a scope 5 years ago.

                          Good quality scopes. I wouldn't expect anything less from an optic company.

                            The Monarch line is made in Philippines and has quality glass. Really liking mine on my 10/22.

                              Fine on a 10/22, plinking rifle or fun rifle not used in adverse conditions.
                              Get a Leupold for a hunting rifle
                              A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.
