AJ Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 I definately put the Monarch above the VX-II. The optics are better. You will see a much brighter field of view with narrower crosshairs when compared to the 44 Mag. I have each of these scopes, so this is from my personal experience.

Guest bronco_mudder Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Re: Nikon Monarch or Leupold VX-II I agree with AJ, having both the VX-II and a Monarch, my preferance is the Monarch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snapper Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Re: Nikon Monarch or Leupold VX-II I don't have a Monarch (yet) but I do have a Nikon prostaff and a Nikon buckmasters and both are IMO as clear as my Leupold VariXII.

Tim Andrus Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Re: Nikon Monarch or Leupold VX-II Nikon! Ive switched almost all my optics to Nikon. tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedicast Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Re: Nikon Monarch or Leupold VX-II I was just gonna post almostthe exact same as snapper. I have a Nikon ProStaff, that is equal to, if not better than my Vari-XII. I would assume the Monarch would be even better. Only think I can say about the Leupold, is that it seems to have a little bit more eye relief for me, which works out great on my 12 gauge Encore slug gun.

Guest Colorado Bob Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Re: Nikon Monarch or Leupold VX-II I'll take the Leupold. I've used them for over 30 years----never a problem. IMO----they are the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron buck Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Re: Nikon Monarch or Leupold VX-II I would also take the current Vx-II over the Nikon hands down. The Current VX-II is basically the same optically as the older VariX-III. And a real bargain. A few years back I went out to get a Nikon Monarch 4-12. But after comparing the Nikon to the Leupold VAriX-II 4-12.......I bought the Leupold. For more $$. And it was the better scope. I have used Leupold exclusively now for several years. They have never let me down. And the warrenty is unbeatable. Leupold is the standard by which all scopes are measured here in America.
