Nikon rifle scopes allow you to view your target well in the evening with a 95 % light transmission. In other words, regardless of the lighting conditions, you're Nikon rifle scope will not let you down when it comes to precision. In fact, the Nikon Monarch UCC comes with an Ultra ClearCoat technology— an anti-reflective coat, and is 100 % weatherproof.

Riflescope: What Power to Use?

Powers refers to magnification. Most scopes indicate their lowest and highest magnifications. If the lowest setting is 3x that means the object that you're viewing through you're Nikon rifle scope will appear three times larger than it would have to your naked eye.

Using a high magnification doesn't mean you'll yield more accurate shots. In fact, experts agree that the magnification to use while hunting should be 4x. Since anything higher than this will narrow you're field of view and make the executions of closer shots more difficult.

However, for zooming in on game, you may want to set your scope at 9x; although you're rifle scope may have a 12x setting. Since the higher the magnification the less focused the movement of the crosshairs will be on your target. A good Nikon scope is the Monarch UCC with its 3-9?40 power and attractive matte finish.
