Jon, Are there any reviews on the new Monarch SF scopes that you know? I am in the market for a 4-16x40 and trying to decide between the Elite 4200 4-16x40 AO vs. the Monarch 4-16x42 SF. I am sure the Nikon will be great, it is only a question of which is slightly better. Also, scope is going on a "Annie" 22LR. The Nikon goes down to 50yrds which may be an issue, but I have heard there is some adjustment below the 50 yrds.
