I just purchased this scope for my Bushmaster AR .308. Can someone explain in detail how to utilize the turrets. I understand how to sight it in utilizing windage and elevation, but I don't understand the turret on top of the scope, or the "zeroing" feature, or how to use it. I was amazed that...

Sigh. My optics saga continues. I just got a new Monarch X 2.5-10x44. I really thought this would be the one. The clicks were very positive, bright optics, etc. Well, just took it out for the first time. It zeroed just fine @100, but when I did a box test, something odd came up- a perfect...

Nikon Monarch 6-24x50 FCH Bushnell 6500 4.5-30x50 T MD I've been comparing these two scopes, I've had a buckmaster and feel confident in Nikon quality. I have zero experience with Bushnell,the 4.5-30x50 almost seems too good to be true. That's alot of mag range for the money, and a ton more...

I'm thinking of picking up a new Nikon scope and am having trouble deciding between the buckmaster 4.5-44x40mm and the monarch 4-16x42mm. Is the monarch worth the extra $120 dollars? I've done searches here on the hide and both scopes have great reviews. Anyone own both or done a side by side...

Hey guys, New guy here. I’m expecting to pick up my first precision bolt gun this week and I need to find some glass for it. Here are the details… Rifle = Remington 700 5r in .223, Range = 50-300yrds, Targets = Paper & steel. Budget = $600-$800. What I’m looking for in a scope… Quality name...

I searched and I did not find anything. I have been looking at these scopes on ebay for about a year now: http://cgi.ebay.com/NIKON-8332-25-75X82-...p3286.m20.l1116 I have never looked through one. Has any one looked through one or own one? Do you like it? I am getting more into long range...

Hey guys I need a scope for my LR 308. I can spend $500 give or take a little. I think I have narrowed the choices to either a Nokon Monarch 4-16X42 Mil dot or a Falcon Menace 4-14X44 FFP. I like the features of the Falcon better than the nikon but it bothers me that the falcon only has a 5 yr...

Hey guys, Has anyone had any experience with the Nikon Monarch Gold Laser Range Finders? I have had a look at one in a gun shop and it functioned very well. It wasn't as clear as the Swarovski, but ranged a lot quicker, was smaller, and much much cheaper. Has anyone had any field experience...

This is Remington 700P .308 with LTR fluted 26" barrel, in AICS 1.0 black stock, Nikon Tactical 2.5-10x44 scope, and Harris lightweight bipod.

Hi, I'm trying to find some info on my new rifle (see my other post about .308 Remington 700 PSS in AICS 1.0) It came with a Nikon Tactical 2.5-10x44 scope. I can't find much info on it, and some websites say it's been discontinued. Also it comes with "Nikon-plex" reticle, not mildot type. I...

I'm looking at the Nikon Monarch 4-16x42 Bushnell 4-16x40 Falcon Menace 4-14x44 Or Other. What do you think about these three. Which would you go with and why? Thanks in advance. I know the Bushnell and Falcon have been discussed, but the Monarch doesn't get included in the "Best Bang for...

I've been shooting about a year now and working on finishing up a custom Remmy. I shoot out to 500yds right now and got a great deal going on a nikon monarch 6-24 sf for $400. is it worth it and will it get the job done? how does Nikon glass compare to the other major players?

I just purchased a used Nikon Tactical 4-16-50 from a member here. Does anyone have the reticle spec for this reticle? I think it is mildot with hash mark in between. Is it just regular US Army mildot with hash at .5? I appreciate your help. Thanks, 45

I'm buying a used Nikon Buckmaster 3-9x40 for my brother-in-law. He's going to mount it on his .22 mag rifle that he keeps with him while on his farm. It's not as important as a $1000 tactical rig, but I would like to make sure he's getting a fair shake. It appears to be an older model in...

I came across a Nikon Monarch X 4-16x50 with the Mildot reticle today and was wondering if anyone had any experience with this scope. I was thinking about putting it on a 308. The scope has a 30mm tube and 50 MOA internal adjustment. With a 20 MOA base this should give me enough adjustment to...

I have decided to buy a new BuckMaster for a Sako FinnFire. I'm convinced of the optical quality but have a few questions on the knobs. I need a scope w/ target knobs for this rifle. We shoot from 25yds to 300yds and need repeatable adjustments. I have (or have had) Leupold MK 4's, USO's, and...

Hello everyone. This is my first post on sniper's hide. I look forward to any information I can get. Here goes... I was recently able to obtain a Nikon Monarch 8-32x50 with their new extra low dispersion glass. I jumped on the chance to get the scope new from a friend for more the 50% off...

I've seen these scopes in the $700-800 range and woul like your opinion on them. Worth the $?

I have looked through all the sites I know of and cant find any. Does anyone still have Nikon refurbs or Shot Show demos? This is going on a double duece and need a good cheap scope. Do they still warranty these?

Zeiss Conquest? IOR? Leupold MK4 Night Force NXS ? Trijicon?
