Send it in to Nikon for repairs. I'd bet the gas is gone too. Here is the number to contact Nikon service. They are only available by phone between 8:00 am and Noon 7 days a week:

I have a few Nikon Monarch scopes, but these days they aren't what they used to be. Sent a new one in for repairs as the contrast was crappy, the focus a bit soft and the adjustments wandered. Nikon returned it in a couple of weeks. The picture was still a bit fuzzy when compared to a Bushnell Elite 4200 or the Leupold I was also shooting that day, but at least it held zero.

For those thinking of purchasing a Nikon scope, grab a copy of almost any online retailer's catalog and check how many pages of refurbished Nikon scopes are offered at a discount. Natchez Shooters Supplies usually has a long list of refurbished Nikons - which gives me pause to ask why so many? Drill down through this list and see what I mean: http://www.natchezss.com/optics/rifl...r=position&p=1 Of course the supply varies depending on how many reconditioned used or refurbished scopes are available. The refurbished scopes have 90 day warranties. There are better brands in my opinion.
