Nikon Sport Optics has introduced a variable powered handgun scope having a power range sure to be popular with hunters, varmint shooters, and metallic silhouette competitors.

The new Nikon Monarch UCC 2.5-8x28 handgun scope was designed to complement today’s powerful handguns in use with a wide variety of shooters and hunters.  The result is a rugged scope that gives users the optimum blend of brightness, power, clarity and durability. 

Like all Nikon Monarch UCC riflescopes, the 2.5-8x28 handgun scope incorporates precision ground and polished lenses coated with Nikon’s exclusive Ultra ClearCoat, a proprietary lens coating yielding 95% light transmission.  It is built on a durable, 1” one-piece main body tube made of aircraft grade aluminum.  It is nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed for true waterproof, shockproof and fogproof performance.  The new scope is available with a Nikoplex reticle, allowing for fast, precise target acquisition.  Eye relief is a forgiving 12-30 inches at 2.5x and 9-13 inches at 8x to accommodate hard kicking handguns.  Focus is easy to achieve and maintain thanks to the addition of Nikon’s new quick focus eyepiece.

A feature unique to the Nikon Monarch 2.5-8x28 is a new set of low profile, hand turn windage and elevation adjustment knobs.  The large diameter dial allows the user to feel, hear and see each precise 1/4 MOA click stop.  The dials are ridged, making them easy to operate with gloves, and each adjustment is numbered, allowing quick adjustments and easy and accurate return to zero while afield or in competition.
