Nikon target turrets..pic?

Just wondering if anyone has a picture of the target turrets with the caps off them. I'm looking at 6.5-20*44 Monarch series and also looking at a the buckmaster 6-18*40. Post a picture if you can please.

I don't have a digital camera, but I do own a Nikon 6.5-20 Monarch. Anything specific you're trying to find out?

Well, I'm not certain what Leupold target turrets look like.....
The Nikon turret is a typical tall target turret, but the scope comes with tall screw on caps- so, you can put caps on and use it in the field without fear of the target turrets getting jostled out of zero. Nice feature.
Or, leave the caps off. The target turrets can be set to whatever you want as a 'zero' setting, and they'll hold that reference mark.
My scope has very accurate clicks= if it says you get 1/8" movement, that's what you really get.
A hiigh quality scope, IMO. I've had mine for 3-4 years, and I'm still impressed with mine. I think you'll like it.

Thanks for the reply Jack. They seem like they're very good scopes for the money. I've done a couple different searches on couple different sites and found all postive reviews on them. Hopefully everything works as planned to get the VS. Buying it off another member from another board. Always run the risk of people not sending after recieving money. Guess I'll cross my fingers and hope for the best.

Have you had any problems with you Nikon?

Thanks

Mike

Nope, no problems at all. The Nikon has performed very well for me.

Nikon target turrets

My only nikon experience with target turrets is a monarch 5.5x16.5 and it has the low profile target turrets, they're about 1/2 the height of the loopy's, think its 1/4" per click

Well I passed up the VS in .223 so I'm not going to buy a Nikon till the end of summer for my 30-06 and I might replace the scope on my .223 with a Nikon and transfer my V-16 to the .17hmr.
