Nikon Monarch 7 4-16x50mm Riflescope in Matte Black - 6784 | iAmmo

Nikon Monarch 7 4-16x50 SF Review The Nikon Monarch 7 4-16x50 is Nikon's latest top of the line rifle scope, designed for medium and long range hunters.

The additional adjustment, especially in elevation, is crucial when you're reaching out to the edge of your rifles distance capabilities. Mechanically, there is nothing on this scope that doesn't meet expectations. There is both a side focus parallax adjustment and quick focus eyepiece, both of which exhibit an expected level of resistance without being too tight, and there is no grinding or resistance at any point throughout the adjustment range. The magnification ring is slightly tighter, but this is mitigated by the raised ridges and "fin," which help to provide additional grip. The windage turret is hidden under a cap. The cap threads cleanly, and the turret itself provides very positive tactile and audible feedback under rotation. Included with the Nikon Monarch 7 4-16x42 is an additional high profile windage turret, which does provide slightly better visibility when in a shooting position. The elevation turret is the famous Nikon Custom XR Turret, clearly labeled in 1/4 MOA increments with a return-to-zero feature. If anything, the clicks on ...
