+1 on that. I compared a Monarch 2.5-10x side by side the Zeiss Conquest 3-9x. Eye relief was about the same, however when viewing different things in the store, the Nikon had a definite problem showing true colors and no distortion. The Conquest was night and day better then the Monarch, and most places that sell them, sell for $399. The Conquest went on a new Xbolt 300 win mag for the wife.
