You guys ever see this before? It’s a Nikon Monarch gold with a 4a reticle.
Scope functions fine. Just slightly annoying...

Yeah they do that. Nice scopes, but light entering from the ocular causes that side effect. It is kind of annoying to me but I can ignore it more or less.

I've seen the same thing with my Nikon Monarch 1-4x African. It takes a certain angle of the light to bring out the gold. Hasn't been a problem but I'd prefer it didn't do that.

Can you see the reticle? Can you see the target?
If yes, shoot the fugging target, be it furry or paper, if not sell the fugging scope.

I can get the same thing on my Nikon Buckmaster 4 x 40 if the ocular is backlit. Annoying but still usable. Sounds like it is a Nikon problem.

A lot of scopes do it, though etched reticles sometimes look more silver.

Had several scopes do this, brand didn't matter. Never let it bother me, just shot them the way they were.

I’ve seen it in Bushnell Elites too except firefly models because the firefly reticle has an illuminecent coating on it that doesn’t reflect light. I’ve never seen the Burris FULLFIELD II do it though. I think it had to do with how far in the reticle is positioned in the scope that affects wether it reflects increases make no less gut. IDK

You worry too much. Shoot and Rock on. Some of my scopes do that

Have a couple converted Lepolds with Premier Optics 4a reticles that are the same.

I thought they were supposed to do that. Mostly noticed it in the old M8 and Vari-X scopes during low light. Always looked like it was done on purpose as the gold color was easier to see than the black under these conditions. Who knew?
