MonstrumMarksman G2 2X Micro Prism Scope

Greetings,So I have terrible vision with astigmatism ..As a avid bow hunter for years I only used 1 pin, I sighted in at 30 yards and I would put florescent nail polish on the tip of the pin so i could pick up the pin through my peep and basically shot instinctively at distances and had pretty good success...After a total reverse shoulder replacement I cant pull back my bow so I went to a crossbow for my love of hunting...The 4X crossbow scopes with multiple dots are problematic for me...I studied tons of scopes for a while looking for something that fits my needs and I found it with this scope...I don't shoot at game past 35 yards with an arrow or a bolt, period...The 2X scope works perfect for me with the circle and dot in the middle and the glass on this scope with my astigmatism, for me, its a game changer...I still shoot a bit instinctively on closer shots but I'm very comfortable with that.....If your a crossbow hunter and understand what I'm talking about with bad eyes, etc. don't hesitate and buy it!! Good hunting! John from PA.

This is exactly what I expected based on the description. The scope is very clear and sharp. The brightness adjustment level is adequate for cloudy days and is not needed on bright sunny days. However due to its physical size (very short) it only works on an AR style rifle or pistol. On anything else it sets too far forward therefore having inadequate eye relief.

Impressed...especially for price... Will update review if anything changes

Had a hard time with this optic. Its crystal clear and the reticle is crisp, etched reticle is exactly what i wanted. Issue is with eye relief, Was not the 6" as stated. Closer to 3.5. I Couldn't get a good position even pushed back to end of rail. If the eye relief was better it would be a perfect 10 from me.

The Good:- Well made- Easy to mount- Easy to set- Holds zero- Easy to see illuminated or notThe Bad:- Slightly heavy- Eye relief is kind of shortIt's well made but not what I was hoping for. First off it's heavy, for being a 2x optic, very close to that of some adjustable lower power optics. Then the eye relief is short, it's spec'd at 5.5 to 6 inches but measuring it's at about 3.5 inches. That's much lower than my 1 to 6 scope set at 2 or 3.It is a solid optic though and holds zero very well. Setting it was simple and didn't require much adjustment in my case at all. Illumination is great, bright enough if needed in full sun but goes dim enough to not blind you in the dark.While not my favorite, I can still say it's worth checking out, unless you have a fixed stock. If running a fixed stock, it might be difficult to get the right eye relief, especially if a backup is mounted.

Just what I was looking for. I put this on my Winchester Wildcat for rabbit hunting. It worked fantastic. Very clear optic, lightweight, small compact size. I like that I get the benefit of a red dot without the need for batteries and get magnification as well. It does sit up a bit higher than expected, but that would be my only 'complaint'.

I received a defective optic that had been returned and still had a note in the box from the previous buyer that had returned it. I tested the optic to confirm the previous return wasn't due to user error or see if the optic had be refurbished and it had not. I paid full price, I did. Not pay for a refurbished optic, this is unacceptable.

Absolutely clear bright glass. So impressive for an optic of this price. It really is a joy to look through.One of the things I had a problem with with their 1.5 X was that the reticle was just too bright even on its lowest setting, and you wouldn’t really be able to use it in the dark without it obliterating your night vision. This one seems to not have that problem.I still see some slight flickering of the optic. Some people see that and some people down it’s definitely more noticeable when you’re moving but it’s not as bothersome as it is with the end the 1.5.This thing is built like a tank and it’s a little bit heavy so you may need to consider that. But prism sights are in generally heavier in bulkier than red dots. It’s part of the trade-off but when you get in return is a glass edged optic that will work without illumination or when your batteries die and you get something that is not affected by various vision problems such as astigmatism.This is a rocksolid optic that holds zero so far and has an excellent build quality and clear optics. It’s really more than you can expect at this price range so the result is impressive.As for the flickering I guess it’s the refresh rate of the illumination and maybe they need to bump that up but otherwise this thing is quite good.
