Monstrum Banshee 2-10x30 First Focal Plane FFP MPVO Scope

The Banshee 1x8 is hands down one of the best optics I’ve used in this price range. The clarity of the glass is excellent, with a crisp, bright image that stays sharp even at full magnification. The brightness settings are more than enough for any lighting condition, and the functionality is smooth and reliable. It feels solid and well-engineered, with excellent build quality that gives you confidence in the field. For the price, this optic offers unbeatable value for money without sacrificing quality. The adjustments are precise, the reticle is easy to pick up quickly, and it holds zero flawlessly. Whether you’re using it for competition, airsoft, or real steel, the Banshee 1x8 delivers high-end performance at a fraction of the cost. Highly recommended for anyone needing a versatile, durable scope that doesn’t break the bank.

Small eyebox and eye relief. Illumination Setting number 1 is still too bright for nighttime. The Jump up in illumination from 1 to 2 is HUGE and the difference between 2,3 and 4 are all basically indistinguishable, the last few settings getting slightly brighter each click. The illumination dial is also really, really stiff. You don't want it to be too loose, but you should be able to adjust it using just 2-3 fingertips. But instead I had to fully wrap around it in order to click it over. Scope caps are disappointing but they work. The glass is very clear up till about 6 or 7x magnification. It starts getting blurry really fast. I'm probably never going to end up using it on 9 or 10X since the picture gets so bad. If you needed a scope that you can Clearly work at Higher magnifications than this might not be it for you. Personally I would have been fine with a 1-6x lpvo on this rifle, so it doesn't bother me. The mount was actually really nice. And everything came with extra screws. The reticle is gorgeous and crisp. Good tracking. Decent turrets, but nothing impressive. The quality for the price is a solid 8.5/10. Would maybe buy again.

Mounted on a 5.56 AR platform with about 500rds ran through it. Has head zero without any issues for me. This was a cheap purchase for a AR that we take to the range and mess around with. I've wasted money on cheaper scopes only to be disappointed. I'm satisfied with the scope.

Wonderful optic! Clear view from 2x to 10x. Was easy to zero, and held it for over 150 rounds. Standard 2032 battery size

Excellent glass clarity, BDC is easily legible on high magnification. Mount seems very well made and attaching to rifle was easy and secure. Illumination levels are easy to adjust, though the turret is a little hard to turn at first. I expect it to break in with use, and I really like that there are off positions between the illumination settings, so turning the illumination off only requires one click. All in all, excellent value for the money, and I'm looking forward to many years of use from this.

Very high quality cantilever mount and scope this could cost twice as much with this quality.

Best value for the money!

Pretty decent optic for the low price
