Monstrum Stealth 3x30 Fixed Magnification Scope

*UPDATE*Well...it was good until it wasn't. Don't get me wrong, I think it would be a solid scope for small calibers (17HMR, 22LR, 22WMR). The 223 either blew the guts out of it or there's too much recoil for it and it jumps zero.I got it bore sighted then my buddy and I started to zero. We got it to zero left and right no problem but to do up and down, it was all over the place. It would bounce pretty good up and down constantly between every shot. Unfortunate too because like I said in my initial review, it looks so good and I had high hopes for it, just couldn't take the force of the 223 recoil. Still going to leave it at 5 stars for the fact that I think it'll be great for small calibers.*PREVIOUS*This thing looks sweet, BUT, looks aren't everything. I have not used this yet but I plan to when winter hits for coyotes.First takes on it.1) the style and the way it looks on my firearm is just so sleek and clean. There's no extras to worry about and the lens covers are completely removable; they just slide off.2) The reticle is clean looking as well. 4 directions of milspec marks, which is very helpful to me since I need to lead my targets from left to right or visa versa more often than not.3) The eye relief on this thing is IMMACULATE. I would be confident in saying it's around 4 to 5 inches. For a person that wears glasses, that is HUGE, the scope also allows me to keep both of my eyes open unlike my last scope.4) This one is big to me, the windage and elevation turrets have twist off covers to protect from bumping. My last scope had exposed turrets and they'd get bumped so easy that I had to make a mark to know where I last zeroed it to. Needless to say, it was a pain in the butt.I have high hopes for this scope, I really do. I've been looking for a fixed magnification scope for a while and all I could find were ones that were upwards of $300+ that had all the things I wanted; for the beating it could take, I didn't want to spend that much. If this ends up being a good scope and holds up to the bouncing and bumping it's about to take this winter, Monstrum will be my go-to budget brand that I'll recommend to my friends should they want to switch.

Excellent sight picture, quick to acquire but, fine enough for accurate placement:I was putting holes into holes with my 6.8 AR after zeroing the sight at 25M. Perfect for those who's eyes have aged out of iron sights, for ex-Army/Marines with ordinary MOS's who took pride in their shooting, [not sniper wannabees], this is better than a red-dot, it'll work without batteries, allows you to accurately place shots with both eyes open, having a diopter means a clear focused sight picture and...the price is right at, all in, 80 bucks. The bang for the buck is outstanding.I know, it's hard to leave iron sights behind, would I like the eyes of my youth...yeah sure but, if you can't see a clear post, your shot placement will suffer and so will you! If only technology could help the rest of my body like this scope does my eyes.

Have this on my bb blaster for airsporting purposes. Acceptable clarity, generous eye relief, and decent eyebox. I bought a budget LPVO here on Amazon that was utter garbage and I just found its replacement. I would not put this on a defensive rifle, but range toys and air rifles are a go. The included scope mount has a solid lockup on my picatinny rail and the screws did not strip, worth mentioning I just tightened them enough to hear a bit of squeaking when given 1/4 turn then stopped. The only negatives worth noting are the reticle and reticle illumination. I'm just not a fan of the square style and overall size but I'll get used to it. The illumination is nowhere near daylight bright and has a bit of fading towards the upper right side of the reticle. Overall for 80 big ones I am extremely pleased with the quality of this thing and it will fit my purposes beautifully. Scope adjustments are made in 1 click, 1/2 MOA adjustments on a tool less knob. I have yet to bang this thing around a bit and will update this review if I experience any sort of obvious failure. It will be difficult to notice zero shifting issues since I will have to re-zero this thing before every bbwarz match due to weather, wind, and bb weight. 4/5 star rating for now.

Clear lens, light up reticle is great lower light conditions and is hard to see during bright day light but isn't necessary. Adjustable brightness is good for eye releaf. Currently running this scope on a .22 and has held its accuracy and hasn't needed readjusting, unsure how it would hold up with larger calibers. Great for airsoft or small caliber rifles. Will need to test on a larger gun such as .223/5.56 and possibly a 762x39
