They look nice, just looked at Nikon Monarch 5-20x44 SF Matt BDC Ret. There are tons on Ebay with dealers that have the warrenty with them. Always a little nervous about ebay but always seems like I can save $50-$100 on a scope  :dunno:

Bought that exact scope with turrets for $349 last month at Wholesale Sports.


Your killing me, Sportsmans in Wasilla AK they are 549.99  :bash: Were is Wholesale Sports at? I could pay for it over the phone and have a buddy get it for me in WA?

thanks


It's $519.95 at Wholesale Sports online:

I sold that scope for $435 a while back because I am not a fan of the BDC reticle (I=just my opinion) GREAT glass!

It's $472.22 @ http://www.amazon.com/Monarch-Riflescope-5-20x44SF-Matte-BDC/dp/B000OZU94I with free shipping.

I see used 6500's for that price often.....that is a lot of scope for the $$. I would take a $400 conquest and add turrets if it were me.

I love my Burris scopes. I have a fullfield 6.5-20 x50 on my 7mm and I had turrets added. Killed an elk at 592 with it. I also have a fullfield tac30 6.5-20 x50 on my 300 rum and it is sweet. I have shot that gun to 850 and the scope tracks very well. Check outdoors4less.net for cheap prices.

How does that work with adding the turrets? What do they come with?

thanks
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

fullfield 2 scopes come with regular adjustments. Need a penny or screw driver. For turrets you send the scope in and they install target nobs for 80 dollars.

You give then the info on the load your shooting? Those target nobs your talking about is that like a BDC reticle or do you actually adjust the nobs to the yardage like the Huskamaw system you see on Western Extremes the TV series.

Thanks

As far as I know Burris doesn't do ballistically matched turrets. The nobs are marked in moa and clicks. I had Kenton industries make me a custom nob for my 7 mag that was around $100 and it just replaces the moa nob with an Allen screw.
