Re: Nikon Monarch X 4-16x50
I don't want to take anything away from Nikon, they make a great scope; however, I would wait for the PST. What distances will you be shooting at? Keep in mind the Monarch will only have a 1" main tube, so you will only have 40 MOA of adjustment while the PST will have approximately 75 MOA of internal adjustment.

Definantly wait for the PST IMO, it's probably going to be better in every way, including glass.

Don't know the available adjustment, but I do know that they are 30mm tubes unless they changed recently.

The Monarch X has a 30mm tube and 50moa of adjustment.
Clicks are moa.
IMO, the glass is better in the Nikon but the PST features smoke the Nikon.

I don't know you are comparing a Nikon Monarch X to a PST in terms of pricing. Optically, the PST is superior, but the issue is price. The Monarch X used to be sub-$1k, but they're all now in the $1200-1300 range. That's Leupold Tactical territory.
You're talking about the PST, which is $699 for SFP and $849 for FFP, and it has matched reticle and turrets.
The Nikon is MOA turrets and a SFP mildot reticle. You might as well get a Leupold LR/T and get a scope with a better record for that price. For not much more than that, you can just get a NightForce.
The better question to ask would be Wait for the PST, or buy a Bushnell Elite 3-12x44 or 4-16x50/Weaver Tactical 3-15x50? Or just go to the Optics for Sale forum on here and pick up a used Leupold LR/T for cheap.
