Nikon Monarch X

The new Nikon Monarch X binocular series with 45mm objective lenses provides larger exit pupils for increased low-light performance yet maintains the balance and comparable weight of many competitors’ 42mm models. Available in 8.5x45 for ultimate light transfer and 10.5x45 for an ideal combination of power and performance, the Monarch X works equally well on tough stalks or long sits on the stand. With its Dielectric high-reflective multi-layer prism coatings, the Monarch X delivers a brighter, sharper view during critical dawn and dusk periods. The long eye relief (20.6mm in 8.5x45 and 16.0mm in 10.5x45) and multi-position, click-stop eyecups make using the Monarch X a pleasure, with or without eyeglasses. The Monarch X also features Nikon’s legendary fully multi-coated optics, waterproof/fog-proof ruggedness and flip-down objective covers.

Comp-N-Choke

Comp-N-Choke offers tubes in a wide range of sizes to accommodate all types of shotguns. The chokes are manufactured using computerized equipment calibrated to precise tolerances. They’re produced from 17-4 PH stainless steel, making them virtually wear resistant. Comp-n-Choke’s original “slot ported” chokes promise denser, more defined patterns because the ports provide friction, slightly slowing the shot cup and wad so the load can exit without being distorted by the wad. By putting more shot back into your pattern, you can open up at least one choke size and break targets that would normally require a more constricted choke. Chokes are available in black, stainless and gold-titanium-nitride coated. No matter your quarry, Comp-n-Choke has a tube for you. Call (888) 875-7906 or visit www.comp-n-choke.com.
