With an adjustable objective for parallax adjustments from 25 yards to infinity, this scope ensures precision at various ranges. Target turrets are calibrated in true .125 MOA (1/8 click) values, allowing for easy re-indexing to zero after sighting in. Equipped with a coil spring plunger return system, it maximizes tracking accuracy. The eyepiece enables fast reticle focusing, while the glass-etched illuminated reticle offers optimum image contrast in different lighting conditions. This scope is ideal for serious shooters seeking exceptional performance and reliability.
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.
