Monstrum G3
Experience exceptional range and accuracy with the adjustable 3-18x magnification of this high-performance tactical rifle scope, built for mid to long-distance shooting up to 1000 yards. Featuring a first focal plane MOA reticle, the etched crosshair remains proportional at all magnifications, providing clear, reliable ranging information and simplified holdover adjustments. Constructed from durable 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum, the scope is nitrogen-charged and weather-sealed to resist fog and harsh conditions. It includes 1/4 MOA windage and elevation adjustments with zero setting, a parallax adjustment dial for sharper focus and range estimation, and red reticle illumination with multiple brightness levels for low-light visibility. The package includes high-profile Picatinny rings, a detachable sunshade, and spring-loaded flip-up lens covers.
Leupold VX-5HD
When I set out for a week in the Rockies, I needed a scope that could handle both close-range shots and extend to 500 yards. That’s when I decided to try out the Leupold VX-5HD. Its 3-15x magnification felt like the perfect balance—giving me clarity on distant shots without the bulk of a larger scope. What impressed me the most was Leupold’s Twilight Max HD Light Management System, which kept my sight clear even in the low light of early dawn and dusk. Plus, the Custom Dial System (CDS) made adjusting for long shots a breeze. In tough terrain, this scope stood up to it all—proving it’s built for serious hunters looking for reliable performance.
