[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 1554634, member: 35183"] I have a few Monarch 2 scopes and I like them. Very simple duplex reticle, thats the main downside. When Nikon went to the Monarch 3 and above and same for the M series scopes, they implemented a mechanism that allows the turrret knob to detach from the mechanism if you pull up on it. Makes it very simple to re-zero, but just as easy to inadvertently lose your zero anytime you were to snag the turret knob on something. Once I understood how it worked and that no alternatives models were offered without this dubious "feature", I was over Nikon scopes for good. In the meantime I have gone with Vortex scopes on all my builds and I have no regrets. I believe there are several outfits where you can get custom turret knobs made to your drop data or get one with a blank scale that you can mark yourself. I just keep a dope chart taped to the side of my rifle and that has been fine with me. I dont shoot any of the standard bullets on which the corrections are based in either 223 or 308, so that would be a waste of time for me anyway. [/QUOTE]
