Sightmark Citadel

The Sightmark Citadel is built for precision, offering a first focal plane reticle that adjusts with magnification to maintain consistent subtensions for accurate ranging at any level. This feature is ideal for long-range shooting, making range estimation simple and reliable. One of the key advantages of the Citadel is its red illuminated reticle, which enhances target visibility in low light, ensuring you don’t miss your shot in challenging conditions. I found the exposed, low-profile locking turrets to be incredibly user-friendly, providing quick adjustments when needed while the locking mechanism ensures accuracy even under stress. The 30mm single-piece tube, made from aircraft-grade aluminum, gives the scope exceptional durability, withstanding recoil and ensuring precise alignment over time. Finally, the fully multi-coated optics provide superb image quality, maximizing light transmission and delivering bright, accurate visuals.

Monstrum Ladon

The Monstrum Ladon 1-6x24 SFP Scope is part of our budget-friendly Ladon Series, designed as a practical LPVO for range shooting without extra frills. It offers 1-6x magnification with an updated optics assembly, providing true 1x magnification, extended eye relief, and a wider eye box for better viewing. Equipped with the BDC A3 reticle, it includes 5.56 BDC hashmarks and remains the same size at all magnifications for clear visibility. The reticle features inline red illumination with 10 brightness settings for adaptable lighting. This package comes with an offset cantilever mount, spring-loaded flip-up lens covers, and is backed by Monstrum’s full lifetime warranty.
