The 2 that I have had (2x7 & 1.5x4.5) did not.

I have several Monarchs and they do not. I'm sure that the target models do, though.

The Nikon Monarchs have what they call "Positive click, Hand-turn windage and elevation adjustments".

You know, I feel a little foolish. :oops: I just went and checked out one of my several Nikon Monarchs to look at the adjustments.

Well, the top of the adjustments has a slot where you put a coin so that you can turn it. However, I didn't know this until just now when Jon told us, but it is now evident that THE WHOLE THING CAN BE MOVED WITH YOUR FINGERS. Why Nikon would put a slot up top AND have the whole thing rotate - I don't know. But it's true and Jon is right.

Boy I feel foolish. All this time I've been taking a quarter so that I can adjust my Monarchs. Oh well, you live...you learn.

Hey Zachery,

I'm assuming that the Monarch is like the Monarch Gold, in that you can hold the rotating adjustment while you unsrew that little silver screw. You can then lift the numbered adjustment dial off, move it to 0, and screw the silver screw back in without changing your elevation or windage. Basically it allows you to sight the scope in, then remove both of the adjustments and reset them to 0's.

There's always something new to learn...

Take care,
JCM
