E,

"Better" to you may mean nothing to someone else......and vice versa.

Different strokes for different folks.

What do you think of the Nikons? Specifically the Monarch line?

Well I looked at the X models and not impressed but the Monarchs sure seem to be pretty impressive . Will have to wait until I see one in person .

Old Elk was just toyin' with ya.

Your eyes see it that way. Kinda like to my eyes, my Zeiss looks better than my Leupold. But my Leupold is still darn good.

I'm not E either, and I'll stipulate that the Monarch is a very bright and clear scope. But in direct comparison it doesn't have the eye relief (length or flexibility) and resulting ease of use of a VX-II. Sorry, but it's true.

Leupold does not do me any bit of good where I hunt late in January..better off using iron sights if that is the only brand I could use.

And i second what Mathman states on the eye relief.
Fwiw my Monarch came on a little Ruger Compact i grabbed up for $375.00.
I sold the rifle soon afterwards(I regret that).
So in actuality the scope which was just a few months old cost me a grand total of...$50.00.
And i have yet to find a Leupold tht cheap.
Fwiw i do like my VX-II and would buy another.

Supposedly, Nikon has improved there eye relief this year. Whether we are openminded enough to see for ourselves and give it a fair test, is another question.
