Torture Test - Are Monstrum & TactiCon Optics Worth Your $$$?

Спорт

In this video we test the Monstrum Marksman 3X30 Prism Scope and the Monstrum 3X32 Raven Prism Scope, along with the Tacticon Predator V3 Micro Red Dot paired up with their Falcon V1 3X Flip Magnifier. We put them through more abuse than most people ever put their optics through, and wanted to find out if the juice is worth the squeeze. Are you worried that you're going to buy these and be pissed off in a month or two? Should you take out a personal loan for an ACOG? We'll shake it all out right here! We understand that some of you may be upset that we didn't perform the age old ritual of "The Water Bottle Test".... Don't have a tactical anxiety attack! We'll be destroying them in the next video.

    I have the tacticon setup here. Took it to the range, zeroed, shot 10 30rd mags through it, and it held the whole time. magnification is only 3x but I was able to ding 400yrs. Mind you I'm pretty new to this stuff, but I'm happy with it.

    If you have the money, or if you can save the money and don't need an optic right now, these will suffice in the interim. When I got my first AR, several years after I got out of the Army, I was really strapped for disposable income. I bought an older Monstrum 3x prism scope. The illuminated reticle went out about a year and a half after I mounted it, but as it has an etched reticle, that wasn't such a big deal. At that time, I was still able to put a five shot group inside the diameter of a quarter, at 100 yards. So if you absolutely are not in a position to get better, and need something right now, by all means, pick up at least one of the Monstrum optics. Now my financial situation did eventual improve. I did remove the Monstrum prism scope, and I have it stuffed into a pocket in my original AR's case. But I have since built a dedicated home defense AR, and it has a quality, proven optic. I also built a third AR, to use as a range toy, and as a training platform for my sisters' kids. I can swap out the BCG and convert it to .22LR (CMMG conversion). I threw a "budget" red dot on it, which is perfect as a range toy. In closing, don't let people bully you into going into debt to get something that is considered high quality, when you just can't afford to do it. I won't shame you for taking a "good enough til I can get better" approach.

    I don’t know about any of you…but…I go hunting , bump my optics against trees , if I do drop my weapon with installed optic it’s maybe the first step into my deer blind…I’m not a combat soldier any longer so I’m not going to be dropping my weapon from a 20 roof top down to the ground and walk down to get it and tell the enemy to stop shooting while I retrieve my weapon and optic ….im not going to be in a jungle with muddy swamp water or quicksand …I’m not in the desert where sand will simply just overpower my weapon and optic…I’m no where where a tank will run over it …I simply take care of my optics and go hog hunting, small game hunting and deer hunting with my .308 with all my LPVO’s and I’ve been doing this for 3 years with these Firefields and Monstrum LPVO’s, red dot and magnifiers or prism optic…they don’t get any more or less dirty than anyone’s $800 optic…it does what it needs to do…the glass and etched reticles in all my optics are just as clear or more so than the more expensive optics and my $150 optics have way more features than the higher priced ones and are more durable….if you want to and can spend $1000 on something to look through, it’s your dime…in my opinion you’re throwing your money away but to each his own …AMERICA !

    Good video. I have the tacticon magnifier paired with sig romeo dot basically for the reasons you described. I can use iron sights for clothes quarters 10 to 50 yards and magnifier for 100 to 200 yards. My only gripe with tacticon is that the flip mount is suspect. My first mount developed some wiggle after about 50 rounds. I tried tightening the mounting screws and snapped one of them, mount was still loose. Tacticon honored their warranty and sent me a new one and I haven't had issues so I'm happy. I actually put a strip of velcro tape just in case sobit would never wiggle again lol

I have banged it on things, had it hit the ground, had it bounce up pretty high in the bed of the truck after hitting a hole in the pasture, all of this and it has survived and retained zero. About the only time I have to adjust zero, is when I switch from the RDS to a magnified scope for hunting, then it's maybe a click or 2 off. One of these days I will get the Falcon V1 to pair it up with.

Had an issue with my first one and Tacticon replaced it very quickly. As for the Magnifier: not a fan. First mount broke and would no longer lock. Replacement broke while mounting. Brackets rattle like a mofo even when working. Switched to the Monstrum and am super happy. Solid construction. Snappy lock with no rattling. Bracket is very well built. All-in-all pretty happy. Thanks for doing the legwork, guys.

I’ve run about 400 rounds through it and works perfectly. Great turrets. Glass is crystal clear. The 1X is superb. And the 4 power for me is plenty. I’ve got the 8x on my Vortex never use it. And it’s got an occular focus. I just ordered another one to put on my new X95 from them $99! Monster is great too. Got a rail and red dot. Perfect.

    Picked up a Mark ! at a gun show a few years ago and am pretty impressed with it, the etched reticle does not require that you turn on the illumination to use it, a big plus for me. It seems well built enough that I would trust it on a defensive weapon, that being said I would not deploy with it or use it on a DMR, but at defensive ranges it would be fine. (I have always felt that it would be hard IRL to defend in court a 300 yard shot as being defensive in nature) ETA - This particular model clears flip up rear sights , although not by much.

    I’ve shot out to 200 yards just fine with my tacticon V-1 red/green dot & v3 magnifier combo. 5.56 55gr. Some might prefer the use of a magnifier, but I personally don’t find it the most useful in this case, because it is a 3moa dot, and when you magnify it, it’s even bigger. That means you’re going to have a wider spread than an optic with a smaller moa dot if you plan on shooting out to 300 or more yards. At that point, I kind of prefer just looking through the red dot alone. You could get good with anything with enough TRAINING though. I would recommend the combo, it might just take some getting used to.

    I guess your heart also would be less broken if it happened to get stolen while mounted to a budget gun like a PSA or Del Ton rater than if it were mounted to a Knights Armament or Daniel defense... I happen to agree with you guys, some of these mid range to budget optics have proven to be able to withstand just as much torture as your higher end "battle proven" optics with one exception, I have yet to see one that's able to be submerged down to 30 meters, but unless you plan on wearing scuba gear in a defensive situation that's not even an issue. I do have a Holosun HE515GT-GR which can go down to those depths while possibly fitting into the mid range spectrum but it definitely would be at the very top end of mid range. Frankly, I think the Holosun HE515 series is a bit overkill for me and for that reason from this point forward I'll be accessorizing my weapons with brands such as TactiCon, Swampfox, Holosun (mid tier offerings), or Primary Arms...

    Just a suggestion I think would help the channel (if you haven’t already started doing this) is to use microphones closer to the whoever is doing the talking (like clipped to your shirts). Even the cheapest microphones can improve the sound quality significantly if they’re closer to the source.

    It's not that I can't put down $600 and up on an optic, It's that I'm NOT going to do it ! Especially with decent options in the under $300 range. I have two monstrums, both prism sights, and they are durable, hold zero just fine and have clear optics, very comparable to my Swampfox Blade prism. I have also tried some various cheap amazon sights that were junk (wouldn't hold zero, which is probably the most important aspect of a sighting system). BTW: Since a prism optic has an etched reticle, you really don't need the iron sights, since it is still visible even if it's batteries die.

    Have used 2 tacticon magnifiers for a couple of budget builds for friends. You pretty much have to get your nose on the charging handle and your eye directly behind the center of the glass for it to work fairly well. There is no forgiveness with this magnifier and would drive a new shooter not to use it.

    I purchased those $30 reflex sights, still love it and was looking for another. These prism sights are completely different. Prism sights use a totally different process to make the reticle. Their new red dots are pricier but also use new manufacturing processes (like gas filled air tight chambers) to improve on the design. They start at like $60 now, which is still a bargain compared to many others.

However, target acquisition with a 3x in a house, or close space isn’t going to happen as efficiently as it would with a lower power optic. 3x is really going to stretch it’s legs from 50-250 yards in my experience. It can be shot and focused at whatever range you want to shoot it at, but it’s most effective there.

    In my opinion there is not an optic out there that is worth more then $200. I think if you pay more then that for an optic you are just buying the Brand not the optic itself. even if I had the money, I would not spend more then that on an optic, and I am not saying that to be cheap. most 97% of optics people would not be able to tell one cheap quality made optic, from an actual brand name optic. put no marking on them, and people would not know one from the other, if they did know the brands an styles.

    You are right about 1 thing: the average Joe may not know the difference looking at them, like an Osprey vs a Vortex, but if it is a cheap optic, the internals often don't hold focus or stand up to the clarity of Japanese glass. So, there is a reason optics run higher than $200...and then, what are we talking about? EOTech? Holographic? Thermal? Iridescent or illuminated? Those often start @$500. And they all serve different purposes. This is just scratching the surface of why your comment is naive and misleading.
