I would strongly suggest getting a scope without BDC. Especially the Nikon system. Not because it doesn't work, but because it takes up way too much space. I think the system has a place, and that place IMO is on a big game hunting rifle. There your targets are bigger and easier to see, and pin-point accuracy is not really needed. With the BDC in the Nikon scopes there is simply too much clutter for precision work. The Monarch itself is a fine scope, I would have no issues using one. I have seen a 4-16 power one, with the standard "nikoplex" reticle and it is very nice. Turret adjustments are spot on as well.
