Get the monarch over the prostaff any day, this would be my pick!

the monarch is nearly double the price of a prostaff but.

re the 223 nikon.... if i shoot a different bullet to what it is setup for it wouldn't be right would it?

I will only be using this rifle occasionally, and for rabbits/hares out to 300m and maybe the odd goat hunt. I'll get closer if they are further than that.
I thought i'd get a BDC reticle, zero at 100 and then work out what yardage the lower marks hit at. Hitting the target board with the lower marks at 100 will give me a good idea of what that is based on the specific bullets trajectory so i can test it after that.

how would you set it up if it were you? Ruger all weather 223 with a scope value up to $500 shooting out to 300m.
