Monstrum Ruckus 3X Prism Scope with Shake Awake

Absolutely phenomenal! Hold zero super clear glass love it love it love it

I have to say that this red dot optic is great for the price. It has very clear glass and looks to be a great fit for my AR rifle. The eye relief will depend on what type of rifle you mount it to, in this case I mounted it to an AR rifle so in order to mount the optic correctly, you have to mount it so that the front of the base aligns or is close to the line that is found on the left side of the upper receiver. As far as durability is concerned, it seems to be made of very good material. Only time will tell how durably it is so for now I think the scope is going to work out quite well. The reason I only give it 4 stars is because you cannot co-witness with iron sights. So if you have an AR platform with the stock front sight gas block you wont be able to co-witness your sights. In fact if you look through the scope you can see the outline of the front sight in the scope. Since I have two AR platforms I decided to place this on my AR9 9mm PCC and take the scope from it and put that on my AR15. If that is the only problem that I have with this scope then so be it because its still worth it in my book. Also I went with the BDC style reticle as the other two choices are generic reticles being circle dot and square dot reticle (DX1). I chose the BDC reticle as it is closer to a Chevron style reticle because Im very familiar with that type of reticle. If you do not know how to use a Chevron style reticle I would choose either of the other two as they will be alot easier to use.

Strait out the box I was shocked on how well the glass was. The eye relief is a much better than the acog optic and allowed me to move it further away from my charging handle on my ar pistol. The shake and wake feature so far works after 10 minutes will shut off. the instructions said after 20 minutes of sleep it will shut off completely so before storing make sure the brightness is set to your liking. It came with an extra battery and one in the optic ready to go. The weight is nothing to worry about and the shake and wake is definitely adds to the value of the money .

The glass quality is actually excellent for the price point but the shake awake mechanism didn’t work on both the original and on a replacement i received so I returned both. Eye relief is not great but the reticle is sharp, useful, and bright. It’s also a bit hefty for its size. If you don’t mind remembering to shut it down so as to not drain the battery this is a good buy. It’s a shame because I was truly hoping these could be a solid budget alternative to Vortex or Primary Arms.

I am pleasantly surprised. I bought this for an AR in 7,62x 39. The sight is mounted but not tested yet. It is mounted as far rearward as possible to accommodate the best eye relief. I had to remove the rear BUIS for this reason, but this optic has a great reticle so that did not hurt my feelings. This optic is clear and bright. And once the rear focus is adjusted, it’s a beautiful sight picture. The last test will be to see if it holds a zero. I haven’t tried yet. But based upon my experience so far, I’m rating it 5 stars. I will update once I make it go bang a few times, but I’m not anticipating any negative results. This 5 star review is not based on, “for a budget optic.” It’s my rating REGARDLESS of price. So far I am just thoroughly impressed.

Awesome

Eye relief is a little challenging for me, may get a short riser to improve my ability to get a good sight picture. Nice and crisp image when I'm lined up nicely. I'm just an occasional range shooter, hopefully will never need to use any of my collection in a true defensive situation so this suits the bill for me. I could never justify more than one of my pieces having a high dollar device on it, so I'm willing to accept some perceived shortcomings to keep this hobby affordable and fun. If you set your expectations accordingly I think you'll be happy with this.

Had it on a 9mm air rifle. Does not hold zero, terrible eye relief, and way too heavy for a scope. Waste of a hundred bucks
