Great for the M&P 15-22
I bought this based upon other reviews and the price to use on my Smith and Wesson M&P 15-22 rifle. I was skeptical, and wasn't expecting a whole lot from a budget friendly lpvo, but figured since I'm just using it on a .22lr it should be good enough. (Let's be honest, you're not going to get a duty grade optic for $100). I was pleasantly surprised by how nice it is, as the quality was a lot better than I was expecting. The glass is clear, the reticle is crisp, and the eye relief is quite good. It came with a cantilever mount in the box, and the hex keys needed to install it. (You can find mounting instructions/ torque specs on the Monstrum website). Fits the pic rail with no issues. Went to the range to zero it in and do some plinking. You can feel each click as you adjust the elevation and windage, which is extremely helpful when dialing it in. I zeroed it for 35 yards, but I was reaching out anywhere from 50 to 100 yards and hitting steel targets. My brother, a USMC veteran who owns and uses a few higher quality optics, joined me that day with his Ruger 10/22 M1 carbine (nowadays, .22lr is the most affordable way to have a day at the range without breaking the bank). Between the two of us, we put well over 500 rounds through the M&P 15-22, and the Monstrum lpvo held zero the entire time. Even he was impressed by the quality of this lpvo and he couldn't believe it when I told him the price. He has since bought one because for the reasonable price of $100, why not? My F.I.L. recently bought one based upon my recommendation. To sum it up, you can spend a lot more and get a lot less. So, if you're looking at buying your first lpvo to see if you like the platform (and if you do, you'll upgrade in time), or if your just looking for an inexpensive lpvo for your plinker, this is probably one of the better of the budget friendly options out there. I'm giving it 5 stars based upon the price, functionality, ease of use, and the fact it has multiple reticle options. I can't speak to the durability, because I don't plan on torturing a range toy. As of now, I'm considering the possibility of buying another to try on my 9mm carbine rifle, or an actual AR-15 because I'm curious to see how it will do on a bigger platform. Even if it doesn't work out on the bigger platform, I have another .22lr it can live on. Happy plinking!

Nice little scope for a 10/22 take-down. Very minor nits to pick.
Not too large, even though it is a little heavier than more expensive scopes.Good glass and coatings, so it has good light transmission The illuminated reticle is a plus.The flip up dust caps are a nice touch.Had to order a Picatinny rail, since my Ruger ships with a Weaver rail, and the mount included with this scope does will not work with the Weaver. Apart from that, it was easy to install, and is mounted solidly on the Ruger. All mounting hardware was included, including Allen keys.Magnification ring is firm, so it won't accidentally move. It could use a longer throw lever, in my opinion.It took several turns of the eyepiece to properly focus, but I'm not certain if that is a problem with the scope, or my eyes. Other scopes I've use don't normally take that much to focus the image.Other than the weight, the focus, and throw lever, I can't find a real fault with this scope.Comparable to a Vortex, at a lower price point. 4.5 / 5

Sturdy with great eye relief.
Great, quality lpvo with amazing eye relief. Sturdy and has lasted for many months before the power switch broke off which is likely my fault as I have been rough with it. Despite losing the power switch I still use the optic.

It’s actually good
So far, for the price it’s absolutely awesome. The quality reminds you of late 90’s early 2000’s Tasco, Simmons, BSA kind of stuff. Zeros great, holds great after 200 rounds of 5.56. It’s clear and the illumination is actually usable even on a bright desert morning and in low light at night. I can tell that you wouldn’t want to drop it but as long as you aren’t tossing your rifle around it should be solid. I will update this review after a couple thousand rounds

Using for Airsoft
This scope is nice for the price. Using it for an Airsoft sniper rifle. It’s overkill for my application but I love the reticle and the glass is clear and decent eye relief.
