[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 900154, member: 10429"] From experience with a tasco scope in general, they can be mounted and sighted in and left alone. I have never had a tasco that would repeat its zero once the up/down elevation was adjusted up or down. All of the ones I have had did not repeat there zero point. So if you want to test try and do the square test at 100yrds and to see if the zero is repeatable. Go up 5 or 10 MOA, across to right 10MOA, down 10 MOA and back left 10MOA making shots at each stop. If the scope hold its true it will end back up at its zero point where you started. I would start there. If it has a mil dot or MOA reticle and you don't plan on using the turrets then its probably ok for a low end scope. For as the Nikon I consider them a definite step up in glass and in quality. The Monarchs line is some of there upper grade scopes. My friends back out east has one on a 300WM and it works great. Good glass for the money. It a different model than what you have specified but it hold its zero quite well. He only uses the BDC reticle but when we sighted it in it would hold its zero after I had jacked it up and down playing around.
