Nikon designed the Monarch around a new optical system created to give shooters increased versatility and superlative performance with virtually any type of rifle, in any caliber and in any imaginable hunting situation. While still maintaining the one-inch diameter main body tube, Nikon engineers developed the new Monarch series to not only provide the shooter with a big, bright, sharp sight picture, but at the same time minimize the overall length of the riflescope—and maximize the mount ring spacing capability. The resulting line of riflescopes pushes the envelope of optical performance with Nikon’s lead-and-arsenic-free Eco Glass lenses and trademark Ultra ClearCoat® anti-reflective multicoatings, is fast-handling, pleasing to the eye and very importantly, allows for mounting on virtually any rifle—even magnum-length actions.
In addition to the enhanced ring spacing, the new riflescope design includes the new Monarch Eye Box design with its impressive 4-time zoom range and a very comfortable 4 inches of eye relief that remains constant throughout the power range without sacrificing field of view. In contrast, most competitive riflescopes supply less than 3-times magnification zoom capability and eye relief that varies by as much as a full inch between high and low powers. The Monarch’s massive ocular lens also delivers both a large high-resolution sight picture and the maximum field of view corresponding to each power setting. As an additional convenience feature, Nikon has placed rear-facing magnification indicators on the zoom control and included a quick-focus eyepiece on the new Monarch Eye Box.
