Nice thing about the Nikon's is they have better clarity than the Leupold's and aren't near as expensive. The Nikon's have a lifetime warranty as well. I too have a pair of Nikon binocs and everytime I go hunting with a someone (especially my father-in-law) I never get to use my own binocs because they are in the hands of other people. They are so clear. I have seen deer out in the fields with my Nikon binocs before day light that I couldn't even see with just my eyes. Until I have a big, big problem with Nikon (which I don't foresee anytime soon), I am 100% sold on them.

The monarch also has a turkeyplex reticle, much like the circle-X reticle on the bushnells that another person talked about. The turkeyplex reticle is also designed to help in estimating the range of the bird. When the scope is on 4X and the bird's head is filling the reticle top to bottom, he is 40 yards away.

I don't have a scope on my turkey gun yet, but that is what I am working on now. I plan on getting the Nikon Monarch with turkeyplex, or the Nikon ProStaff shotgun scope...and I am leaning towards the Monarch.

Best of luck in your decisions....
