TREESTANDMAN Report post Posted May 6, 2007 I've been using my nikon monarch 10*42's for around 5 yrs now. I've always used them shed hunting or scouting, and as a result the lenses were scratched up quite a bit. Just recently I had a problem with one of the eye pieces not coming out like it should. I sent them into nikon to get repaired and instead of fixing the eyepiece, they sent me back a brand new pair at no charge!!! For the quality, customer service, weight and price I don't think there are any binos out there that match the Nikon monarch series. Like Swarovski, they really stand behind their product.

COUESAZ Report post Posted May 7, 2007 And i see that doug has a good deal on factory reconditioned ones with the same warenty on them. I own two pairs of them and would recomend them to anyone looking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BASS Report post Posted May 7, 2007 What all did you need to do before you sent them to Nikon? We have three pair of them that need the eye pieces fixed. I think we are too rough on our gear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AzPacknHorns Report post Posted May 7, 2007 I bought my wife a pair of the 10-42 monarchs and couldnt be happier, they are very light weight, crystral clear and feel very nice in the hand. At around the $300.00 price range I dont think you will find a better glass. They also come with a 25 year no fault warranty, PDG!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azhuntnut Report post Posted May 8, 2007 I already had several pairs of Nikons and decided to purchase a pair of there 10x42LXL's last year, and I like them more than the Swaro's. They feel better in my hands, and are a touch brighter than the Swaros, at least through my eyes. I am going to pick up a pair of the 8x36's pretty soon to use on my elk hunt. I am also sending back a couple pairs for scratches on the lenses. I am sure I will have the same great service as you did. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
