Cаn’t dесіdе between thе Nikon Buckmaster 4.5-14X40 whісh I саn afford rіght now, οr ѕhουld I save a lіttlе more аnd pay thе extra $100 fοr thе Monarch 4-16X42? Iѕ іt thаt much better? It wіll gο οn a Savage 12BVSS .223.
Thank уου,
I’m sorry I forgot tο mention thаt thіѕ wіll bе a varmint setup, shooting small game аnd targets out tο 400yrds.
Are you sure you need that much magnification? I would think that a 3-9×40 would be fine for anything a . 223 would be shooting at; but of the two, I can’t see paying $100 more for an essential upgrade from 40mm to 42mm on the exit.
My 1st recommendation would be the Prostaff series in 3-9×40, then the Buckmaster.
The Monarch is a GREAT scope.
I would opt for the monarch as it will have better resale, you can easily swap it to another rifle in the future and its just an all around better scope.
Are you really sure you want that much magnification though? That really is quite powerful.
Seems you would want that on a 7 mm or something along those lines with that much power.
see what thet use on TV and get that!!! It must be cool. . 2pts
isn’t this forum for hunting ?’s
Save some more money. Ignore the Japanese Nikon and buy a real scope. . . . Get a USA made Leupold VX-II 6 x 18 with the Varmint style recticle.
