Nikon Announces Three New Riflescopes To The Monarch Lineup

Nikon is taking hunting and shooting to the edge once again in 2008 with the announcement of three new additions to its flagship Monarch riflescope lineup. The new 2-8X32, 4-16X50SF and 8-32X50ED SF.

The Monarch 2-8X32 is compact, lightweight and ideal for short actions, carbines and mountain rifles. The 4-16X50SF features a large objective and offers superior performance in low light, making it ideal for hunting food plots and bean fields. The 8-32X50ED SF is the first riflescope to incorporate Nikon’s exclusive and legendary ED glass. Nikon ED glass delivers superior sharpness and color correction for unmatched detail resolution. The Monarch 8-32X50ED SF is perfect for extreme long range hunting and target shooting.

Like all Monarchs the three new riflescopes were developed to give shooters increased versatility and superlative performance with virtually any type of rifle, in any caliber and in any imaginable hunting situation. While still maintaining the American-preferred one-inch diameter main body tube, Nikon engineers developed the Monarch series to not only provide the shooter with a big, bright, sharp sight picture, but at the same time minimize the overall length of the riflescope—and maximize the mount ring spacing capability. The resulting line of riflescopes pushes the envelope of optical performance with Nikon’s lead-and-arsenic-free Eco-Glass lenses and trademark Ultra ClearCoat anti-reflective multicoatings, is fast-handling, pleasing to the eye and very importantly, allows for mounting on virtually any rifle—even magnum-length actions.

For the Monarch long range riflescopes a locking side focus parallax adjustment comes standard. Nikon’s easy-to-reach dials allow the user to quickly focus from the shooting position. In addition to the enhanced ring spacing, the new riflescope design includes the Monarch Eye Box design with its impressive 4-time zoom range and a very comfortable 4 inches of eye relief that remains constant throughout the power range without sacrificing field of view. The Monarch’s massive ocular lens also delivers both a large high-resolution sight picture and the maximum field of view corresponding to each power setting. As an additional convenience feature, Nikon has placed rear-facing magnification indicators on the zoom control and included a quick-focus eyepiece on the Monarch Eye Box.

All Monarch riflescope models utilize Nikon’s precise, repeatable, hand-turn reticle adjustments and feature the company’s Interchangeable Turret Technology system, which allows shooters to switch out turret knobs and caps for maximum convenience and versatility. Nikon mates its patented BDC reticle to every Monarch riflescope model to allow hunters to hold “dead-on” at ranges exceeding those previously thought possible. The BDC’s unique see-through ballistic circles offer an incredible advantage for long range shooting—yet allow a normal sight picture for shorter-range shots where the crosshair itself is the aiming point. Nikon’s Nikoplex reticle is also available.
