For Sale NIKON Monarch African scope 1-4x20

[CamoManJ]

I’m searching everywhere for this scope for my 458 B&M. This cartridge will break most scopes but not this one & is highly recommended by @michael458 . Does anyone know who has one that they are willing to part with? It must be the German #4 with illuminated dot version. Thank you.

CamoManJ, I have several DG Rifles topped off with the Nikon Monarch III African scope. They all have the German #4 reticle. I wasn't aware that Nikon offered an illuminated dot in this scope. As they say, "you learn something new every day." I don't know how many of these scopes were made but they do "take a lickin and keep on tickin." That is why most folks that have them are unwilling to part with them. FYI these scopes typically sell for 1&1/2 to 2 times their original price.

Same here. I have several and did not know about the illumination option. That would be a heck of a scope!

 

[CamoManJ]

Well maybe I could be wrong about the illumination. I would be receptive and grateful for either version for that matter.
Thank you for your responses…

Here’s some local proof they exist from a previous post from Kid…I haven’t seen one in the flesh since before then. Good look on the hunt.

Thread 'Rare 30mm Nikon Monarch African 1.1-4x24 Illuminated German #4A Reticle Rifle Scope'

Mar 2, 2023

Nikon African 1.1-4x24mm Monarch 30mm Rifle Scope *Mint*. No longer made and known in the Hunting Fields and Industry as Thee Scope for Heavy Caliber Rifles! Rugged and Reliable...The other African by Nikon is only 1" tube and Not Illuminated like this one(I see them listed for $600 range now!)..It also has a choice of RED or GREEN Dot and degree of illumination. Black Satin finish and no noticeable ring marks..Glass is perfect..Highly desirable German #4 Reticle that is fast to use and also good for low light too. Huge field of view and great eye relief...These were $860 in 2010!!
$815...

Since Nikon is no longer available, virtue signaling, I’d look at the Trijicon Credo.

Well I be a striped butt monkey! Good luck on the quest!

 

[RR 314]

I searched through the stash. One left, but not illuminated. A solid 1” illuminated would be a great scope for many applications. Good luck on the search. Report back if you find one!

 

[CamoManJ]

I prayed bedside last night…to complete my B&M dream of a proper DR. I knew I had my work cut out for myself when I got into the B&M world. So they do have a version with illuminated reticles, so cool. That way you can see a red or green dot against a black buffalo hide.

I have a 30mm Nikon Tactical 1-4x24 on my .375 Ruger and it's been phenomenal for me.

 

[DJStang]

I have the 1" African version on my Winchester 70 in 458 Win Mag. It's nearly indestructible. Good luck with finding one. The pop up for sale from time to time. Look thru eBay and other outlets, not just gun related sights. I found mine on eBay 4 years ago.

 

[Shootist43]

I wish I'da seen SAFARIKIDD's post back when he wrote it. That thing would have been mine in a heartbeat. Like I said in my previous post "you learn something new every day." CamoManJ I wish you good luck on finding this needle in a haystack. LOL

 

[CamoManJ]

Well it looks like my prayers have been answered and the great AH community has blessed me with a Nikon African illuminated 1-4x24 scope. Special thanks & shout out to the great generosity of @Kdbull !!!

I’m still keeping an eye open for a backup and for my next upcoming B&M rifle project. Let me know if anyone else wishes to sell.

Thanks again, all of you guys for your help and kind words.

Glad to hear it! Ill be interested to hear how the illumination holds up.

I came across the Hawke optic 1-4x vantage turkey scope. It hits all the right specs on paper. 1” tube and 4” eye relief. Suppose to be shock proof and they have a lifetime warranty now. I picked one up and we’ll see if it’ll hold on to the 458…

Damn, did I just get scammed ? @Kdbull are you really doing this? To take advantage of honest hardworking people like this…really? I do take responsibility for being trusting and going out on a limb & not following advertised warnings, karma will come around those who scam honest people. Depressing. My B&M dream has been challenging so far…

I saw this thread of dread and my gut is in the dumps. I fouled up, it looks like…

 

[CamoManJ]

I’ll try again, lessons learned. I still have no scope for my 458 B&M. I’m still wanting to buy a Nikon African/Monarch 1-4x24 scope in either 1” (preferred) or 30mm version.

 

[Justbryan]

Lesson learned, be extra careful when asking for a certain item because anyone can respond. I wish I had one to sell you. I sold all my Nikon scopes many years ago. Good luck!

Where you able to do a stop payment on the check, or paid in a different way?

How did you find out it's him and not some scum bag in Nigeria?
