Nikon Buckmaster VS Monarch

[JMshooter]

I'm looking for a NEW scope to go on my new Remington VSSF .223. With Nikons rebate the prices are close, what would be the best scope for this set up?

the Monarch 4-16X42 has 1/4 moa adjust, 40moa total adjustment $339.95

the Buckmaster 4.5-24X40 has 1/4 moa adjust, 50moa total adjustment $259.99

the Buckmaster 6-18X40 has 1/8 moa adjust, 50moa total adjustment $329.99

all with the Nikoplex

Thanks for any help.

Buy the Monarch. Better light transmission and a higher end scope.

second vote for buying the Monarch...I love my Buckmasters but if I had the money at the time, I would have gotten a Monarch...It's just a higher quality scope

I have two monarchs. Both track good no probs

The Monarch will have a little bit better "Exit Pupil" which will help increase light transmission.

Thanks for the reply's, I ordered the Monarch 4-16X42 today. It was hard to find one that was instock. everyone was going to have to backorder it.

OK, just a little off topic....

I am looking at a Nikon Prostaff. Where does a Prostaff fit in with the Monarch and Buckmaster?


Thanks

I'm not sure, I have a 4.5-14X40 Buckmaster on my smith&wesson 25-06 and love it. With the instant rebate that Nikon has going until 3/11/12 ($100 on monarch, $50 on Buckmaster) I started looking @ the upper power/quality scopes.

Monarch top tier
Buckmasters second tier
Prostafft third tier

None are bad scopes though, i know a bunch of guys with prostaffs and they love them

Great news, thanks.

If I can get this prostaff for a-buck-and-a-half, I will.

go for it, I got the Buckmasters because I got $150 in gift cards for Christmas, otherwise it was going to be the Prostaff for me

Walmart carries the prostaff, might want to head on down to your local superwalmart and see if their price is any better

My local Walmart sells them for $150 so not really cheaper
