why are you replacing the Monarch if i may ask? i've never used a Monarch but have heard nothing but good things.
The Monarch will be reassigned, possibly for my sons first deer rifle. I had always heard good things about the Monarchs as well so I decided to try one. My 3-9x40 is brighter and clearerto my eyes than my Leupold VX-II 3-9x40. The Monarchs eye relief is much better than the Busnell Elite's but not quite as much as Leupold.
