Well, you always get some decent rings and not run out of adjustment. Just saying.

Anybody that needs to pay someone to mount thier rings for them, kinda scares me a little. Its a few screws.

Go w/ either Sightron SII or better or pony up to the Conquest Ziess!

I am not a fan of Weaver mounts, but if they are set correctly, and I have set at least a dozen for my buds ... then the scope should have had a ton of adjustment to get it "zeroed". I'd like to ad my thoughts on Nikon's Monarch scopes. It may just be coincidental, but I have had 2 and was not pleased with either. They were on used rifles that I had bought. One was a 50 and the other a 40 mm. Both were variable. Something like 3x9's. For the MSRP and based upon my Nikon Venturer binos (which are superb), I was expecting crisper images to the edges and far better low light performance. Everybody has their opinions, and mine is that the $600 +/- for the Monarch would be wiser spent for the Zeiss Conquest. I had no problems adjusting these Monarch's to zero and had no problem selling them as "take-offs" ... so for sure some folks like 'em.

Quite often it's not the scope but a poorly machined or mismatched set of rings. If the rings are off line even .001" you will have problems with any scope you mount.

We all screw up now and then, that's not what I judge a person/company on. If they do get something wrong I judge them on how far they'll go to make it right.

I agree at first glance doesn't sound like a scope issue but rather a mount(ing). Not a weaver fan.

Hmmm
I wasn't aware Nikon made their own scope glass let alone built their scopes.I thought they contracted them out to the lowest bidder according to the specs they wanted.Last I heard the monarch series scopes had a very very good quality U.S made glass installed while the lower end models get a lower quality Japanese made lenses put in.I don't know where Leupold gets their glass from but they may get it from the same manufacture just different grades or the same depending on models the glass is used for.
