I used to have a Nikon Monarch 3.3-10x44 with the AO, mildot reticle and low-pro capped turrets ... it was a LOT of scope for the money. I sold it because I was very poor at the time, and wanted/needed a different scope... I kinda wish I still had it ...
anyway, regardless of other factors, the glass was great, construction and quality seemed to be all there ... adjustments were very true ... even the dreaded 'crappy' eye relief of all other scopes than "Big L" was plenty good.
I'm thinking that this 6x42 for the 10/22 will be a good way for me to break into the fixed power scope thing, and to once again test the quality of the Nikon optics ...
