Nikon New Monarch Riflescopes
For 2007, Nikon has re-engineered its entire Monarch flagship riflescope line, utilizing a new optical system. While maintaining the American-preferred 1-inch-diameter main body tube, Nikon engineers developed the new Monarch series to minimize the overall length of the riflescope and maximize the mount-ring spacing capability, allowing for mounting on virtually any rifle. The 2007 Monarch design now includes a new eye-box design with an impressive 4X zoom range and four inches of eye relief that remains constant throughout the power range without sacrificing field of view.
In contrast, most competitive riflescopes supply less than 3-times magnification zoom capability and eye relief that varies by as much as a full inch between high and low powers. The Monarch’s massive ocular lens also delivers both a large high-resolution sight picture and the maximum field of view corresponding to each power setting. As an additional convenience feature, Nikon has placed rear-facing magnification indicators on the zoom control and included a quick-focus. Visit www.nikonusa.com.
