Nikon Monarch on a 300 WIn mag or above

[oldelkhunter]

Anyone use one of these scopes on a 300 win mag or above. Just interested in problems if any with it. Thanks

I guess not a lot of people use them on 300 win mags or above

All I can say is that I use my Nikon Gold 1.5-6x42mm on my slug gun and haven"™t had any problems with it so far. Handles the recoil.

My buddy had one on his .300 Weatherby this season and he had no gripes about it.

oeh I have had a 4x12x44 (or is it a 40? lol my CRS is terminal I tell ya) Nikon on a Ruger 77 7mag that I bought when I was a teenager in the late 80s. That was before Buckmasters and Prostaffs but would be a Monarch now. The scope is still brilliant, has NEVER given me one minutes trouble and holds zero as well as anything else on the market. I would go look right now to make sure what size it is but a younger cousin of mine that lives in another state has had the rifle for two seasons now (comes from a single parent home and he's in college so you know the story...) He just took his biggest deer a couple of weeks ago with a 300yd shot and the deer went down like a sack of rocks. I have dropped many deer with that gun at such ranges over the years. The zero was only changed as I toyed with handloads several years ago. I had some so strong I blew the necks and throats out of the cases yet the scope always held zero!

I have two VariX IIIs (a 4.5x14x50 and 3x10x50) and my old Monarch is clearer IMHO than either of the X IIIs,

I have been curious about that particular scope myself. Thinking of putting one on my model 7 .350 mag. How would you compare it to a leupold?

Terry, I"™ve had this question asked a couple of times. I have two Leupold scopes and did make this comparison even with some friends at work. My Leupold scopes are the VXII 3-9x50mm and the Euro 3-9x50mm with the 30mm tube. The Nikon is brighter and clearer then both Leupolds and with a constant 4"� of eye relief. The Nikon does weight a little more but is a solid scope. This scope also picks up good light at dusk or dawn. I have no regrets buying this scope.

The funny thing is that this scope is going to be mounted on my T/C 350 Rem. Mag after this deer season. It"™s to much of a good scope to be used on my slug gun. Hope this helped out a little.

maybe someone else can confirm this for you because i'm not sure as i have never owned one but i was told by someone who did that these scope have a gear system internally similar to the european scopes.and they have a rock solid zero.
