Monstrum Alpha

The Alpha Series GA1424 FFP Rifle Scope by Monstrum Tactical is built for serious shooters looking for reliability without unnecessary features. With 1-4x magnification, this scope excels at close to mid-distance shooting, reaching out to 300 yards. It boasts a first focal plane MOA reticle that provides clear ranging information, making it easy to estimate distances and adjust for holdover. Constructed from tough aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum, it features a sealed, nitrogen-charged tube to keep out moisture and fog. The MIL-STD 8625 type III hard anodized finish ensures it can withstand rugged conditions. Plus, it comes with spring-loaded flip-up lens covers to keep your lenses protected. The scope also includes a two-year replacement warranty. However, it does not offer reticle illumination, locking turrets, a detachable honeycomb killflash, or scope rings.

With a 2-10x magnification range, it excels in both close-quarter shots and mid-range targeting, making it ideal for a variety of hunting scenarios. The HD optical system provides outstanding color fidelity and sharpness, delivering clear images even in dim lighting—crucial for dawn and dusk hunts. Its precision turrets and side parallax adjustment allow for accurate, on-the-fly adjustments, while the rugged, shockproof construction holds up under tough conditions. Lightweight and built to withstand moisture and debris, the Viper HD is perfect for hunters seeking quality optics without excess weight.
