I agree. I currently own 2 Monarchs, and while they seem to be durable, the glass imo leaves a lot to be desired, and you can get much better glass for less money. They also don't seem to track repeatably over time. They aren't a horrible scope by any means, but I feel they should be a lot better than they are for the price. The Burris Fullfield II's are cheaper, and blow them out of the water in every aspect.
That said, since you ordered it already, give it a shot as your experience may be different than mine.
