I would go with the leupold. The monarchs are nice but the lenses are not being made in japan anymore and they are having a few problems. You should also consider the cabelas brand. I think they are the Cabelas XT for your price range. Leupold makes the cabelas lenses so the quality is there. The price however is a little bit less than the leupold and monarch.
