Well I found out SIR sells Nikon Monarch 6x42's which is exactly what I'm looking for, and for a decent price too. What do you guys think about them? Oh and what about parallax? It says the parallax is fixed at 100 yards; will I have problems at ranges further than that?

You will be blown away by the optics. They are superb scopes.

You will have zero problems at further distance. The issue with parallax is at close ranges but then deer look pretty big at 20yds.

Thanks a lot for the info; I just found the scope I need for my rifle:D.
I might either get the 4x40 ($308), 6x42 ($336), or the Monarch Gold 1.5x-6x42 ($639).
What's the difference between Nikon Monarch and Monarch Gold?

Thanks,
-Rohann
 
nikon scopes .

the diffence between the monarch and the gold .is the gold i do believe has a 30 mil tube.
 
I really couldn’t tell you because I’ve never had problems with mine, but I can tell you this. In comparison between my Nikon and my Leupold the information in registration is top notch when it comes to the Leupold. Nikon is lacking in that department.
I looked at warranty card and it has thirty year national limited warranty.

My .02 cents regarding the scope for big game hunting rifle:

I purchased 6x42 for hunting rifle, following advice from gun-rug writers, and this was a BIG mistake. Just too narrow field area for anything bellow 150 meters. My next one is going to be no more than 4x30 or one of variables that could go bellow 4x. Just look at this scope; http://www.binoculars.com/products/..._1-4x20mm_-_Matte_-_Duplex_Reticle_26113.html . There is the reason why some (I feel free to say) knowledgeable hunters are using it. If you looking for scope for big game hunting rifle, do the following test: Find somebody with variable (min. magnification 3x, better 2x) scoped rifle, get full size animal silhouette from cardboard, put it on 100 meters and try to bring the rifle with same speed you would do in real hunting situation. Adjust the scope magnification by going from higher magnification down until you could get animal fast in the scope. Once you feel comfortable with certain level of magnification, this is the minimum magnification your scope should have. If your hunting includes deer hunt in wooded area, get deer silhouette on 50 meters and do the same test. You will be surprised how little magnification is needed for clear shot, even on longer distances.

Note; varmint hunting is different ball game that requires different rifle and the scope.

Harry, funny you should ask. They exceptionally poor customer service turned me completely from their products. However, years later I am again thinking of trying some of them...... could the same morons still be there or even alive....?
 
I bought a Monarch 3x9 a few years back when they first came on the market, then another and another... I now have 4 monarchs and an about to get another.
 
Thanks for the posts guys.
I don't only want this for a hunting rifle, I'm thinking of MAYBE doing service rifle and just fun shooting with it. I don't get the opportunity to hunt very much, but this is the rifle I'd like to use for it. I was thinking mayyybe the 1.5x-6x or 2x-7x, though it's a bit more pricy.

I believe that Nikon Canada is going to offer the complete line of scopes and range finders for the Canadian market starting in 06. Right now the dealers for Nikon are few here in Alberta, but that is going to change soon as P&D has made a commitment to carry a good variety of the line and I am looking forward to seeing a selection of their product. I hear that their range finders are an excellent product,FS
