Monstrum G3 5-25x56 FFP Rifle Scope with Zero Stop
The Monstrum G3 5-25x56 FFP Rifle Scope with Zero Stop delivers professional long-range performance at a fraction of premium brand prices. This tactical riflescope combines a generous 5-25x magnification range with a large 56mm objective lens, First Focal Plane reticle, and zero stop functionality. Ideal for precision long-range shooting, F-Class competitions, varmint hunting, and tactical applications well beyond 1000 meters.
The Type-H FFP reticle is specifically designed for long-distance shot calculations, featuring 1 MOA hashmarks and a 1 MOA center dot that enable accurate range estimation and holdover corrections at all magnification levels. The First Focal Plane position means the reticle scales with magnification, keeping subtensions always correct and allowing quick switching between different magnifications without recalculation.
Why Choose the Monstrum G3 5-25x56 FFP Scope
The 56mm objective lens gathers maximum light for bright images during twilight and overcast conditions, essential for early morning or late evening range sessions or hunting. The 34mm tube diameter provides extra internal adjustment range, crucial for extreme long-range applications requiring dozens of MOA compensation for bullet drop.
The zero stop functionality is a fundamental advantage for competition and tactical shooters. After setting your zero, you can freely make elevation adjustments for different distances, then return to your original zero point with a simple rotation without counting or remembering reference points. This saves precious seconds during competitions and prevents errors in the field.
The 1/4 MOA click adjustments on both windage and elevation turrets give you the precision needed for long-range fine-tuning. The tactical-style turrets feature clear markings and audible/tactile clicks, allowing adjustments without looking through the scope. The turret lock mechanism prevents unintended adjustments during transport or intensive use.
The aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum construction with MIL-STD 8625 Type III hard-anodized finish delivers extreme durability and scratch resistance. This military-grade coating is significantly harder than standard anodization and protects the scope against rough field treatment. Nitrogen purging and O-ring seals guarantee complete waterproof and fogproof performance in all weather conditions.
The inline dial illumination system offers 11 brightness levels for the red reticle, providing optimal visibility from bright daylight to complete darkness. Illumination is strategically placed to light the entire reticle, not just the center point, particularly useful in low-light conditions or against dark backgrounds.
The side parallax adjustment dial (adjustable from 10 yards to infinity) eliminates parallax errors and increases target image sharpness. This is essential for accurate shooting at various distances, where even the smallest parallax error can affect your point of impact. The dial features distance markings for quick reference.
The fully multi-coated lenses with Monstrum's patented coating formulation maximize light transmission and reduce reflections for superior contrast and color rendition. These high-purity glass optics deliver bright, sharp images with minimal chromatic aberration, even at highest magnifications.
Applications for Long-Range Precision Shooting
This scope excels for F-Class shooters competing at 600-1000 yards. The FFP reticle with 20 MOA per side (total 40 MOA per plane at maximum magnification) provides all reference points needed for accurate wind corrections and holdovers without adjusting turrets. Zero stop function allows quick return to your 100 or 200-meter zero between strings.
Precision Rifle Series (PRS) competition shooters appreciate the fast reliable adjustments, clear glass, and FFP reticle enabling accurate ranging at unknown distances. The generous magnification range allows flexible switching between nearby targets and extreme long-range engagements without needing two different scopes.
For varmint hunters pursuing coyotes, prairie dogs, or groundhogs at distance, the 25x maximum magnification provides sufficient detail for ethical, precise shot placement at 300-500+ meters. The large objective lens performs excellently during twilight when many predators are active.
Tactical marksmen for police or military applications find in this scope a reliable instrument with all features needed for designated marksman rifle (DMR) roles. Durable construction, zero stop, and illuminated reticle support operations in diverse conditions.
Benchrest and target shooters working on group reduction and fundamental shooting skills benefit from clear glass and repeatable adjustments. The scope mount package with heavy-duty scope rings ensures stable, repeatable zero, essential for accuracy work.
Field of View at 330 yards ranges from 74.9 feet at 5x to 28.1 feet at 25x, providing sufficient overview for target acquisition while also seeing enough detail at high magnification for minute shot placement. Generous eye relief (approximately 90-100mm) ensures comfortable shooting, even with heavy-recoiling calibers.
Mounting, Zero Stop Setup and Use
Begin by mounting the included heavy-duty 34mm scope rings to your Picatinny rail. Ensure the scope is level using a scope leveling tool or anti-cant indicator. This is crucial for long-range accuracy, as even small cant angles can dramatically affect impact point at 800+ meters.
Mount the scope in the rings with sufficient forward placement for correct eye relief. Tighten ring bolts crosswise and gradually to specified torque (typically 15-25 inch-lbs, check your ring specifications). Over-tightening can damage the scope tube; too loose allows scope movement under recoil.
Set the diopter sharp by looking at an even background and rotating the eyepiece ring until the reticle is glass-sharp. This is a one-time setting per user and prevents eyestrain during long shooting sessions.
To set the zero stop, first zero your rifle at your desired zero distance (typically 100 or 200 meters). Once zeroed, unscrew the elevation turret cap, lift it up, and position the zero stop pin according to manual instructions. Rotate the turret cap back and test that you cannot dial further down than your zero point. This provides a reliable reference point to which you can always return.
Use the parallax adjustment dial to eliminate parallax at your target distance. Rotate the dial while looking through the scope and move your head slightly back and forth - when the reticle no longer moves relative to the target, parallax is eliminated. This also significantly improves image sharpness.
For illumination in low-light conditions, rotate the inline dial to one of 11 brightness levels. Lower settings are ideal for night shooting while preserving night vision, while higher settings work in daylight or against bright backgrounds. Battery (CR2032) lasts approximately 50+ hours depending on brightness level.
When shooting at different distances, use the FFP reticle for quick holdovers or rotate the elevation turret for exact adjustments. Turrets click 1/4 MOA per click, corresponding to approximately 7mm at 100 meters. Count your clicks and note your elevation for frequently used distances for quick reference.
