Nikon has once again stepped-up the pace in rangefinder design and functionality—this time engineering a pocket sized, waterproof, fogproof unit made especially for western hunters and others who desire extreme long range precision and long term durability. Featuring a blend of cutting edge technology, painstaking design and rugged construction, the new Monarch Gold Laser1200 provides hunters with a new level of extreme range measurement accuracy.
With pinpoint 1/2-yard precision up to 550-yards and one yard accuracy to 1200-yards, the Monarch Gold sets itself apart as the obvious choice for varmint and big game hunters who desire extremely accurate long range measurements of targets that exceed distances of a half-mile away.
Featuring Nikon’s Tru-Target (TT) Ranging System, the Laser1200 allows hunters to prioritize smaller and harder to range targets at the push of a button. In the First Target Priority mode, hunters can confidently range objects as small as fence posts or get an instant reading on lone animals on distant hillsides or in unobstructed clearings. The Distant Target Priority mode determines range to the farthest target the laser beam reaches, ideal for accurate ranging in those hunting situations where game animals may be partially obscured by grass or brush. The rangefinder’s unique reticle design also signals the user when ranging is in progress.
The Monarch Gold Laser1200 also utilizes Nikon’s original digital measurement process to provide faster, more accurate measurements in severe hunting conditions. Besides incredible 1/2-yard accuracy and unmatched consistency, the rangefinder is unaffected by extremes in temperatures, so consistent ranging can be accomplished in the toughest situations. The unit measures ranges in either yards or meters, has full scanning capability and features an automatic power shutoff after the reading has been displayed for eight seconds.
Weighing in at 9.8-ounces, (without the included CR2 Lithium battery) the 5.7 x 3.20-inch Laser1200 has a selectable backlighting feature in the LCD display and quality Nikon 7-power multicoated optics for improved light transmission, clarity and color rendition. The display also shows the user how much battery power is remaining. Utilizing a 25 millimeter objective lens, the rangefinder provides an exit pupil of 3.6mm for maximum brightness under less-than-ideal lighting conditions.
The eyepiece of the Monarch Gold Laser1200 is adjustable, with a range of +/- 4 diopters, and offers an incredible 18.6mm of eye relief--and it folds down for use with eyeglasses. In addition, the Nikon Monarch Laser1200 has a real angle of view of 5.0 degrees, translating to a 35 degree apparent angle of view and a field of view of 262 feet at 1,000 yards.
The Nikon Monarch Gold Laser1200 features an easy-to-grip black rubber armored body. It's tripod adaptable, includes a neck lanyard and belt case and is also available in a Team REALTREE version featuring REALTREE Hardwoods Green HD camouflage. Suggested retail price for the Waterproof/Fogproof Monarch Gold Laser1200 is $429.95. The Team REALTREE version is priced at $449.95.
