RE: Elite 4200 or Nikon Monarch?
Nikon Monarch is a geat scope, but so is a 4200. How much stock do you put in to the rainguard feature. I love the Nikon scopes, but they are about identical except of the rainguard feature. comapre that and prices and what comes out on top? I buy Nikons, but I would consider the 4200.
It is a lot of what you like.
What power range are you looking at?
At the optic zone, you can comapre the following.
Nikon Monarch 4x12x40 matte , nikoplex 339.00
Bushnell 4200 4x16x40 matte, multi-x 339.00
In this case, I like the Bushnell.
