Nikon Spot On Wind Meter/Advanced Scope
Nikon Spot On Wind Meter, Monarch 5 Advanced BDC riflescope, and a free app on your smart phone can take the guesswork out of shooting in wind. The meter plugs into the headphone port and inputs an accurate reading of wind speed and direction. The app on the phone then calculates the correct hold-off in clicks, inches or MOA for any load or ammunition at a specified range. And the new reticle makes it even simpler to adjust for a crosswind with windage marks left and right of the drop-compensated aim points, already calibrated for a 10-mile-per-hour crosswind. The optical system in the Monarch 5 riflescope is second to none, available in seven different variable magnifications each with five-time zoom. Waterproof, fog proof and shockproof; limited lifetime warranty. Monarch 5 MSRP starts at $549.95; Spot On Wind Meter $39.95; app for iPhone or Android is free.
