Apparently they are going to warranty them but for how long who knows. That said i did pick up a pro staff plex 2x7 i needed for a hunt. Worked out well with a nice late season whitetail in freezer. Out of the 5 i have i have never needed to send one back.
The thing that always concerned my about Nikon is the super high number of refurbs you see on Natchez. They outnumber all other brands combined by a huge margin. Look for a model you dont see as a refurb. You dont see as many Monarch 5s or M5s.
Just be aware you can get similar quality or better that still has a company standing behind it. Such as the Weaver Classic Extreme for $219 or a Grand Slam for $260.
Guys have been putting the Classic Extremes on some hard kickers and overall they are holding up well. The 2.5x10x50 is $219 at Natchez....I bet the Monarch 5 has nicer glass but....for $260 the Grand Slam is probably right there with it.
