Nikon advertises their 30mm African series as having a large eye box for fast target acquisition. The 1.1-4x24 costs around $750 and the lighted version, about $100 more. I don't like their battery pod, mounted on the eyepiece.
The VX-6 1-6x24 has a great eye box and, like the Monarch, good ER. I like the battery pod and illumination control on the turret assembly instead of the eyepiece. These scopes are slightly more expensive than the Monarch African series.
Has anyone compared these two? I have the VX-6 but have not examined the Monarch. If the Nikon is anywhere near the VX-6, it's a great scope.
