The new Nikon BDC Reticle
The new Nikon BDC (Bullet Drop Compensating) is actually a trajectory-compensating reticle designed and calibrated to provide fast, simple aiming points for various shot distances. This unique system integrates a series of small “ballistic circles”—each subtending 2” @ 100 yards— allowing unimpeded lines of sight to even small targets.
Nikon’s BDC is designed to be used with most standard centerfire cartridges with typical bullet weights, providing aiming points out to 500 yards, with a 100-yard sight-in. With Magnum cartridges and typical bullet weights, the same scopes with BDC reticles offer aiming points out to 600 yards, with a 200-yard sight-in.
After sighting-in the crosshair at 100 or 200 yards with the highest magnification, determine the distance to the target and use the appropriate ballistic circle. Verify the aiming points by shooting at actual, measured distances.
Monarch Eye Box Technology
The new Monarch Eye Box boasts an impressive 4-times zoom range and four inches of constant*, non-critical eye relief. Combined with a massive ocular lens to deliver a huge, exceptionally bright, high-resolution sight picture and maximum field of view corresponding to each power setting, Nikon’s Monarch Eye Box also adds such convenience features as rear-facing magnification indicators on the zoom control and a quick-focus eyepiece.
*One-tenth-of-an-inch to four-tenths-of-an-inch, depending on model
Smooth Zoom Control
Instant 4-times magnification with reference numbers that are viewable from the shooter’s position.
Locking Side Focus Parallax Adjustment
Standard on all Long Range Monarch riflescopes, Nikon’s easy-to-reach dial allows you to quickly focus from any shooting position – without moving your cheek from the stock. Also provides a shorter length than comparable adjustable objective lens models.
Enhanced Mount Ring Spacing
Provides mounting to virtually any rifle action – regardless of caliber.* Nikon took shooters of larger magnum calibers into consideration with the scope – both because of ring spacing and long eye relief. It even mounts to the hardest hitting magnum-length actions while providing for comfortable shooting.
*2.5-10x50 may require extension rings in some cases
Interchangeable Turret Technology
New Monarch 5-20x44 and 6-24x50 models feature 1/8-MOA adjustments and include low profile adjustments with caps, target-style high profile knobs with caps, and tapered, easy grip knobs. All other new Monarchs can be customized with accessory target-style windage and elevation adjustment knobs and caps.
Ultra ClearCoat® Optical System
The basis of every Monarch scope, Nikon’s Ultra ClearCoat® is a complete system that consists of superfine Eco-Glass lenses and Nikon’s proprietary anti-reflection multicoating technology that boosts light transmission up to its theoretical maximum — 95%.
One-Piece Main Body Tubes
Sunshade Adaptable
All new Monarchs can be fitted with sunshades to reduce glare and minimize the mirage effects from hot barrels. The Monarch 5-20x44 and 6-24x50 models include a sunshade.
Ultimate Ruggedness
Monarch Riflescopes are 100% waterproof, fogproof, shockproof and recoil-proof. The new Monarch maintains this integrity for all-out performance, reliability and durability in any environment, under any conditions and on any rifle.
Milled from aircraft grade aluminum for minimum weight and maximum strength, durability is built into each model.
