wtnhunt Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Looking at either getting one of these in a 3-9X40 or stepping up to a zeiss conquest in a 3-9X40. How much really better is the zeiss scope? The monarch at cabelas now is $269 on sale, the zeiss is $399. Currently the best scope I have used on any of our rifles has been a nikon buckmaster, followed by a burris fullfield II. How will the two compare, and is the zeiss really that much better that it is worth the extra $130? Will be replacing the burris scope on my .270 with whichever new scope I end up with, which is used primarily for deer hunting where shots are usually under 200 yards. Really think I am going to go with the monarch, but not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yooperkenny Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Re: nikon monarch? That's a great price for a Monarch. 95% light transmission, I believe. IMHO I don't think spending over $100 more for the Zeiss is going to make a significant difference - you'll love the Nikon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted March 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Re: nikon monarch? The cabelas catalog descriptions does say 95% light transmission on the monarch scope. Got a $20 off coupon I have to use today if I am going to use it, and some points as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too_pointer Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Re: nikon monarch? Although I have never owned a Zeiss, and probably never will, I have used Nikons for years, and I bet you will be very pleased with the Monarch If not, I'll give ya $100 for it LOL too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Re: nikon monarch? I have been buying the Nikon Monarch to replace many of my cheap scopes. Since they are being replaced by a 4x magnification range, you can get some great bargains on them. I have a few Zeiss scopes and they are great scopes. Like Too_Pointer mentioned, I don't think you will be dissapointed by either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tped Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Re: nikon monarch? I love the Nikon Monarchs and right now they are a tremendous value. I have seen them cheaper than what Cabelas is currently offering though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted March 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Re: nikon monarch? Free shipping from cabelas, and had some points and a $20 off coupon. Figure for $249 for the scope shipped before the points I used, I could not go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
