Our verdict

A well-reviewed budget LPVO that holds zero for most buyers and includes a mount worth using on its own, though at least one unit's reticle drifted after a couple hundred rounds.

Overview

A 1-4x20 low power variable optic bundled with Monstrum's offset scope mount and flip-up lens covers, built for AR-platform rifles that need both close-range speed and some reach.

It's a second focal plane scope, sold with your choice of the BDC B1 reticle (5.56 holdover hashmarks) or the MX1 box reticle, both illuminated via an inline dial. Monstrum pairs it with a nitrogen-purged, sealed tube and capped turrets, and the included offset mount lets you run it alongside a red dot.

  • 1-4x20 magnification, true 1x at the low end
  • Choice of BDC B1 or MX1 SFP reticle
  • Nitrogen-purged, sealed tube
  • Ships with offset mount and flip-up lens covers

Who it's for

Fits shooters who want a budget LPVO with a usable mount already in the box, from AR-15s in 5.56 to smaller-caliber builds like a 10/22 or AR-22. Less suited to anyone needing a scope proven for heavy-caliber, high-round-count duty use.
