Details needed on Nikon Monarch scopes
« on: April 08, 2011, 04:25:24 AM »
I can not find any scopes clearly identified as having AO's.  I do however see a fairly cryptic comment in their literature referring to adjustable parallax but it is not the more clearly identifiable "AO" that other manufacturers use.  Am I missing something?  I am looking for this feature in the Monarch line.
Thanks.

All current Nikon Monarchs are SF = Side Focus, I think the older scopes that had adjustable objectives were identified as PA =Parallax Adjustable.

Same function,  AO = Adjustable Objective, SF adjustment is just made at the turret with a knob instead of turning the objective bell.

Quick is right on with his comments about the SF, Side Focus Parallax adjustment. I have a few older scope that had Parallax adjustment near the objective lens. Hence Adjustable Objective.
I like the SF models much better, quicker and easier to use, especially when making adjustments using the BDC reticle.
