Nikon Monarch 4-16x42

[heiko]

Curious if anybody has tried these new Nikon Monarch's yet? They only have 1" tubes but for the price seem to be a fairly good deal. Apparently you can get the tall turrets with caps, and exposed turrets to upgrade the low style turrets the scope comes with. Anybody have one of these of tried one?
They are available with mildot but I don't know if they will sell in Canada with the mildots, I believe the Buckmaster versions only sold with nikoplex reticles. These seem like a step up from an already good Buckmaster.

Any thoughts?

I'd like to know as well.
I've been wanting to get one but no one has them in Canada yet. Not that I know of anyway.
Seems like too much of a hassle to import one from the US.

Currently this scope (Monarch 4-16x42 is not available in Canada. Go to Nikon.ca and the models listed are the only ones Nikon Canada will bring in. Also no mil-dot or tactical scopes being brought in. Nikon Canada has been slow to respond to the shooting sports in Canada even though they have exclusive (not counting grey market) distribution of Nikon scopes in Canada. We are slowly building a relationship with them and hope in our meeting at the 2008 Shot Show to see an expanded line for the Canadian market. Phil.

Sorry, but Ebay is a good place to buy Nikon scopes
