Many LPVO’s claimed to have “daylight bright” illumination, but until recently that was largely a boast. Monstrum sent me a 1-6×24 Banshee. This LPVO appeared physically identical to the 1-6×24 Banshee I previously reviewed but this sample comes with their new BDC-C1 fiber optic reticle.
The package comes with the an offset mount and flip-up caps. The scope has capped turrets that are resettable to zero. This sample’s turrets had audible clicks but were a bit sloppy indexing.
Unlike the standard Banshees, this version’s illuminator rheostat only has red as its color and has an ‘off’ setting between its numerical intensity levels. To make the reticle daylight bright, a hair thin fiber optic strand is embedded inside a BDC duplex reticle to provide a bright illuminated point at the center of the crosshair. In my tests, I found that at at its maximum intensity the reticle was red-dot bright, easily visible in broad daylight even pointed into the sunlight sky.
It checks the boxes. At 1x it’s a flat 1x view with no fish eye. It provides a surprisingly clear and sharp image with little to no chromatic aberration even at maximum magnification. It’s held zero over multiple range visits. This makes the Monstrum the most affordable daylight bright LPVO that’s worth a damn.

Vortex was one of the first optics companies to roll out true “daylight bright” illumination on their LPVOs; bright enough to be seen outdoors in daylight sun. Monstrum recently released their first LPVO with a reticle that claims to be “daylight bright”.
Monstrum sent me a sample of their newest Banshee with a new BDC-C1 fiber optic reticle. They also sent along a brand new Vortex PST Gen2 and asked me to test and compare them. Both are 1-6x SFP LPVO’s with 30mm tubes so it would make for a fair apples-to-apples comparison.
Both LPVOs looked broadly similar. The Viper has larger diameter turrets and some small details in its construction that cue anybody who has milled metal that it’s a higher value scope. Both have 30mm tubes but the Viper manages to offer more than twice the range of adjustments of the Banshee’s 70MOA.
Both have illuminator rheostat that offer an ‘off’ setting between its numerical intensity levels. The Viper offers 10 levels whilst the Banshee offers 6; and unlike the other Banshee models, only in the color red. The Vipers rheostat dial had an annoying slop that made me turn past and accidentally turn the unit off when changing intensity levels.
Both have capped turrets with 1/2 MOA adjustments per click; which were clear and loud. The Monstrum’s turrets were mildely tactile positive with a fair bit of slop between clicks. The Viper’s turrets were crisp, tactile clicks with very little slop. I didn’t bother with tracking tests as capped LPVOs, the designs intent wasn’t for futzing during use. These turrets were meant for zeroing the reticle and then shot adjustments should be made by the user using the reticle’s sub tensions.
The Viper had a smoothly turning power ring but was stiff enough that I would have wanted a throw lever that the Viper’s retail package lacks. It did come with a 2″ sun shade which none of the Monstrum LPVOs include in their package. The Banshee’s power ring was stiffer and not as smooth but compensates for it with a built in fin-style throw lever.
Looking through each scopes, the Viper had a brighter view. But both appeared crisp and sharp at 1x. The Vortex had very, very, slight fish eye curve at the outer edge of the view. In most other ways, the LPVOs were evenly matched. Only at the covered range did the Vortex show a clearly greater sharpness and brightness offering 3 levels of resolution better than the Banshee and less chromatic aberration.
The reticles were also very similar looking semi t-style; the Viper having MOA sub tensions whilst the Banshee has bullet drop calibrated sub tensions. Both have a bright central point which illuminates creating a red-dot like focus point. Comparing both at their brightest settings, both were similarly daylight bright and visible even when aimed into the sky near the sun.
At this point there really wasn’t much else to test. While the Viper at 11 may be a bit brighter than Monstrum’s new BDC-C1 Banshee at 6, both are truly is daylight bright. How much brighter do you need?
At the range, I could quickly and accurately aim and hit my targets. Like so many of their features, I found the eye boxes to be effectively identical. Because these scopes were short-term loaners, I wasn’t able to test durability or ruggedness but both held their zero during my day at the range on my 5.56 AR.
Both scopes come with lifetime warranties on workmanship but the Viper comes with Vortex’s no-fault policy, covering accidental damage and user error. Recently Monstrum revised their warranty to cover accidents but their fine print requires a receipt and I haven’t had any feedback with ease of returns. Vortex seems to have an easier return policy but recently has a reputation for sloppy QC.
By far the biggest difference between the Banshee and the Viper is their price. The Viper is one of Vortex mid-range models and sells for $599 on Amazon, which is 4 times the price of the Banshee ($149). Moreover, the Banshee includes a quality offset mount. The Viper does not include a mount and the Vortex Sports mount costs an additional $100.
Comparing the Monstrum Panzer vs Vortex Razor HD 1-10x FFP the differences in the quality of the scopes was significant. But comparing the Banshee to the Viper, the differences were harder to find. Certainly the Viper was sharper, brighter, had more range of adjustments and a better warranty. But if I had to the choice to buy either of these scopes, I think I’d choose the Banshee because its a better value.

If you had an opportunity to test out a $200 scope you’d probably say, “sure.” If they offered to lend you another scope that cost 12x as much to compare, you’d say “hell ya!”
Recently I conducted a head-to-head comparison between a Monstrum Banshee 1-10x and a SIG Tango MSR 1-10x. This time Monstrum sent me their new Panzer 1-10x FFP (First Focal Plane) and asked me to compare it to a real high-end LPVO like the Vortex Razor HD Gen iii.
Now optics snobs can argue that a Vortex Razor really isn’t a high end LPVO but lets leave that nitpick aside and agree that the general public, the DOD, Monstrum believes that it is. For this comparison Monstrum wanted to me to compare their flagship LPVO to Vortex flagship LPVO.
I agreed to create this comparison video with the understanding that I would post my real findings; however they turned out. If the Panzer was outclassed the Razor, I would show it. I wasn’t going to bias the testing in favor of their product. As with the SIG video, Monstrum assured me they wouldn’t want it any other way.
Using Amazon, Monstrum sent me brand new samples of both LPVOs. Razor is Vortex Optics top tier line of of scopes. And up close, in my hand, the Razor certainly looked and felt like a premium optic.
Razors are identifiable by their trademark burnt-bronze color. The HD Gen iii has very precise low-profile capped turrets, with a fine 1/4 MOA per click adjustment. It has a lockable illuminator knob and offers 11 levels of brightness that at its highest settings is truly daylight bright; almost too bright for indoor use.
The Panzer is distinguished from other Monstrum scopes by the design of its control surfaces, which is inspired by the look of tank treads; “panzer” is the German word for “tank”. The Panzer offers two illumination colors but the intensity is nowhere close to the Razors, offering typical CQB/low-light brightness.
Side by side, the biggest visible differences (aside from the Razor’s unusual color) is size. Without its optional sun shade, the Razor is an inch shorter than the Panzer. Despite that the Razor is heavier than the Panzer, largely due to its larger 34mm sized tube body allowing it 120 MOA of internal adjustments vs the Panzer’s 30mm tube and 70 MOA of adjustments. The other material difference is that the Panzer retail package includes flip-up lens caps and a 30mm Monstrum PRO series offset mount; which are premium quality mounts.
Looking through each scopes, I was struck by how clear and sharp everything looked through the Razor; it was looking through a freshly cleaned window. At 1x the superior clarity of the Razor to the Panzer was obvious. The Panzer view was clear and sharp but not nearly as bright and clear as the Razor.
Despite this, there were two surprising shortfalls in the Razors exemplary optics. At 1x the Razors view appeared wider than 1x Object appearing smaller than in real life. Moreover this manifested in a slightly pronounced fish-eye lens effect on objects at the outer edge of the field of view. Oddly this wasn’t as noticeable when looking through the scope with boys open (as LPVO’s are meant to be used at 1x). The Panzer’s view wasn’t distorted like the Razor’s. 1x looked truly 1x.
At 10x the Razor offered a brighter, sharper and more detailed image than the Panzer. The Panzer’s outer edge had a soft focus. Comparing both scopes at the range, the Razor was able to resolve much finer details on the USAF-51 chart. Surprisingly, despite its clarity, the Razor had far more chromatic aberration.
The first focal plane reticles of both scopes were somewhat similar. At 10x they appear as a T-style crosshair with MOA subtensions and circle-dot central aim point. The Razor’s reticle also included a holdover Christmas Tree and in addition has finer stadia lines than the Panzer. Overall the Razor’s reticle was better optimized for extreme long range shooting by obscuring distant targets less than the Panzer.
At 1x both scopes reticles shrink down to reveal a simple floating T. The Panzer’s reticle lines are twice the length of the Razor’s making it slightly more visible. To compensate for such small, fine reticles it’s best to run both LPVOs with illumination and again the Razor’s brightness outclasses the Panzer.
In ran both LPVO’s on my AR, running timed shooting drills shooting 5.56. Like most 1-10x LPVOs, they both suffer from tight and unforgiving eyeboxes, though not the worst I’ve tested. The Razor had a slightly longer eye-relief.
I found the performance difference for casual range shooting and plinking to be minimal between Panzer and Razor. But for a LEO, 3-Gun Competition Shooter, or a combat professional, the Razor’s proven battlefield performance can not be overstated. Both scopes come with lifetime warranties on workmanship but the Razor comes with Vortex’s no-fault policy, covering accidental damage and user error.
By far the biggest difference between the Panzer and the Razor is their price. The Razor is a premium LPVO that sells for $2499 on Amazon. That is ten times the price of the Panzer ($199). The Razor is clearly a higher quality scope. But for a weekend shooter like me, I was able to shoot just as accurately with either scope.
Circling back to Monstrom’s original request: how does the Panzer compare to a higher-end LPVO. What I learned is that it is surprisingly good for a budget scope. And while the Panzer is not in the same league as the Vortex for sharpness, clarity, brightness, for the price of a Razor you could buy a Panzer and a firearm or two with the spare change.

SHOT Show is an Industry-Only trade show, not open to the general public. The only way to get access to the expo floors is with a SHOT Show badge. Companies like Geissele triggers give out free badge holders as swag. But at the Leapers/UTG I came across a super deluxe badge holder and opens into an Admin pouch with plentiful pockets for business cards, pens, and velcro flap for moral patches.
The smart SHOT attendee will head to the Caesar’s Forum Expo on the first day so that they can score a UTG badge holder before they all get snapped up.
Monstrum asked me to be one of the first YouTubers to review their newest LPVO, the Panzer 1-10×24. This is their first, First Focal Plane (FFP) 1-10x and is distinguished from their other LPVO’s with a new tank-tread texture on its turret caps and control surfaces. In addition, it comes with their PRO Series offset mount.
Another new feature is a removable fin on the magnification ring, which can be swapped for an included throw lever or removed entirely for a clean profile. It is held in place with a single Philips screw and the box includes a mini screw driver and Allen wrench for the turrets (I wonder why they didn’t use a common hex screw instead). The turrets are capped and resettable. The 1/2 MOA turret cliks were clear and audible but not very tactile, moreover there was a bit of slop between each click.
At 17oz, the Panzer is relatively light for 30mm tube LPVO. It has a large ocular lens which gives it a nearly unobstructed field of view. Unfortunately, like many 1-10x LPVO’s it has a tight and unforgiving eyebox, even at 1x. It has a decent eye-relief if about 4″.
At 1x the image through the glass had a mild warm tint but no notable fish-eyeing. At 10x there is a softening at the the edges and loss of light and contrast. But its resolution is surprisingly sharp (as with other Monstrum LPVOs). Continued improvement in Chinese glass manufacturing have greatly improved budget glass.
The scope features their new CM2 reticle which is optimized for long range shooting at 10x. At 1x it appears as a simple “T” reticle but at 10x the central dot enlarges to become a circle-dot and with a finer long range reticle with MOA subtensions, wind holdovers, and a range estimation ladder at the base of the ‘T’. The 10x reticle lilnes isn’t as fine as higher end etches scopes like the Riton Tactix or Vortex Razor. The center dot is 1 MOA but this may still be too large obscure long range targets.
Like many other FFP LPVO reticles, the CM2 isn’t as useful a reticle at both extremes of its magnification range. The 1x configuration of the reticle is a tad too thin unlike more graphic SFP tactical reticles. The CM2 reticle appears very similar to the Vortex Razor but lacks the Razors brighter illumination (and the Razor’s $2500 retail price).
The Panzer offers red and green illumination with an intensity range from 1-5. Oddly, unlike their other LPVO’s, the red appears more visible than the green at 1x. In fairness, the Panzer illumination brightness is typical of most LPVOs; not daylight bright but visible in low-light or CQB.
Its overall clarity and sharpness is pretty good but no in the same league as premium 1-10x offered by Vortex, Athlon, or EoTech. But it is perhaps one of the best scopes in its price tier and punches well above its weight. With a price tag just under $200 the Panzer offers features and optical clarity found in LPVOs that cost 2 to 3 times more (certainly better glass than the SIG Tango I recently reviewed). It comes with Monstrum’s Lifetime warranty on workmanship (but not damage). It remains to be seen if the Panzer lives up to its tank-like name in terms of durability.

Warriorland makes affordable Kydex holsters from a wide variety of pistols. Now, they’ve also come out with their own line of compact weaponlights and pistol lasers. Recently they released the Crosswbow MA1, a weaponlight laser that incorporates an LED display. As part of the launch, they are releasing the MA1 in a special bundle package that includes a Glock 17/19 IWB holster. Warriorland sent me a sample and I am among the first to test and review it.
Lets start with the Crossbow MA1 which is well constructe. It comes pre-installed with a Glock rail adapter and 5 additional “rail key” adapters for common pistols made by Springfield, S&W, CZ, Walther, Beretta and SIG; along with a universal 1913-Picatinny rail adapter. The MA1 is sized to perfectly fit the space in front of a Glock 19 handguard and be nearly flush with the front of the receiver and slide.
The MA1 has an internal battery and comes with a magnetic 2-pin USB charging cable. The built-in LED disply shows a diagram of the current battery charge and the lumen output when turned on. Below the unit, is an analog switch allowing the unit to function in laser only, light only, and combined modes.
The MA1 is activated using either of the two tabs on rear of the unit. These tabs extend slightly over the front of the Glock’s trigger guard to be easily reachable by either hand. A single tap turns the unit on. A constant press activates momentary on. Pressing both tabs simultaneously puts the unit on “candle light” low output mode.
A double tap activates the Strobe mode. This control scheme is problematic because under stress, a user my easily accidentally double tap their switch causing unwanted Strobe activation. Unfortunately,. Warriorland did not build a means to lock-out the strobe function. For some this is a hard-pass. Personally I’m not a fan of the MA1’s control scheme. They should have copied OLight’s control scheme and only activated the strobe by pressing both tabs simultaneously.
On a positive note, when activated the MA1 ouputs more than the manufacturer stated 800 lumens. In my tests, I got over 1000 lumens on high output mode. Moreover, in my run time tests, the unit stayed on in high mode for 62 minutes.
For anyone who’s bought a new weaponlight for their pistol, finding an affordable holster that fits can be challenging and frustrating. The appeal of this bundle is that it includes a nicely designed holster. The Kydex plastic holster fit my Glock 19 with the MA1 mounted perfectly.
The main downside is that the Combo bundle (as of now) only comes holster for the Glock 17/19. Furthermore, the holster is an Inside-the-waistband (IWB) style for right handers. It is not designed to relocate the clip for left handers or mounting on a belt for open-carry.
Given that the Glock 17 and 19 are probably the most common pistol found in North America, this MA1 weaponlight and holster bundle will probably be ideal for many.
Just in time for Christmas, Warriorland is offering the MA1 weaponlight and holster bundled together for the price of the weaponlight alone. They supplied me with this coupon code on Amazon so that my viewers can get 10% off. Moondog10. I don’t know how long this bundle will last at this price so get it while you can.

The Sig Sauer Tango MSR is one of the new breed 1-10x LPVOs. These scopes blur the lines between an LPVO and what many used to consider “high power” scopes of previous decades. At 10x the Tango actually has a higher magnification than standard issue US military Sniper Rifle optics (granted those scopes have clearer and brighter glass).
The Tango is nicely designed with great care evident in the build and construction. The contact surfaces on its controls are well textured for a firm grip. It features capped turrets that are resettable, though I found the numbers and scale on the dial a bit hard to read precisely from a shooting position. The turrets were loud but not particularly tactile positive.
The magnification ring has a removable throw lever but the design of the grooves and knurling seem to be sufficient to turn the ring without it. The kit comes with an very well designed 34mm offset mount. Sig thoughtfully printed a reference line on the front tube to help the user align the scope to the mount rings.
At low power the scope is truly 1x with no fish-eye distortion. At high power the scope does suffer from drop in brightness and noticeable chromatic aberrations. It typical LPVO distances under 300yrds on man-sized targets will be clear and recognizable despite this.
The MSR reticle looks like a hybrid between an ACSS style horse shoe and a traditional German style T-reticle. It features dots and arrows design to help the shooter lead a moving target. The TANGE features 11 levels of brightness on the horse shoe reticle but it is not noon day sunlight bright.
This scope has a Second Focal Plane (SFP) reticle; the majority of 1-10x LPVOs are First Focal Plane (FFP). A FFP is preferable in long range shooting but on an LPVO with a scale change of 1000% can often make for thin, hard to see center dots at 1x. Because of that, I tend to prefer the simplicity SFP reticles in an LPVO. Testing the scope running multiple target engagement drills at 25yrds, I found it easy to aim and center on my target.
While the TANGO is not the sharpest or brightest glass I’ve seen in a ≥$500 scope, its features, design, and construction certainly makes it feel worth the price.
Conquer is Riton’s flagship long range rifle scope line with the 5 denoting this models magnification factor. This is the first Conquer scope Riton has sent me to test. I was eager to try one out since first seeing the newly redesigned line at SHOT Show 2023. All of their scopes now feature a unique twisted grove patter inspired by the rifle twist in the barrel of a firearm. This is not only stylish but the pattern provides an aggressive contact texture on their rings, knobs and turrets.
Looking through the scope, the image was clear and sharp with a warm tone bias. My camera saw chromatic aberration looking through the glass at 25x at 100yrds. Despite this, I was clearly able to make out .22LR bullet holes on paper; even the wrinkles on the paper target. Using the USAF-51 chart, its resolution was as good as any 25x scope I’ve tested.
This scope has a fairly unforgiving eye box. At 25x it has a fairly small exit pupal of 1.6mm. Tight eye boxes is a common experience I’ve had with Riton scopes. This is also a common complaint of most high power scopes under $1000 (the Arken EP5 is an example of that). The 5 Conquer has an MSRP of $959, which for the average rifle owner isn’t cheap. But comparing it to the Leupold Mk5 which has a similar resolution performance, this scope is a value.
I can’t speak to the long term durability of this scope, since I’ve only put it through a couple of mags of .22LR and 5.56. It has so far held zero. Riton’s customer service is responsive and their optics have a transferable Lifetime warranty. The same can’t be said of more expensive European brands.

Tract was started by Jon Allen and Jon LaCorte, two former scope guys who used to work for Nikon USA (before Nikon exited the sporting optics market). Tract made a name for themselves in ELR competition shooting. I was pleasantly impressed when I tried their Tract Toric 4-25×56 rifle scope a few months ago and I was eager to test out their Toric UHD spotting scope. Their Toric line of rifle scopes that are built in Japan (known for its high engineering and manufacturing standards) and utilizing German Schott glass for clarity and low-light performance.
This spotter is rugged with a rubberized armored skin over a fully sealed body that is Argon purged and IPX7 rated; meaning it can withstand full water immersion down to a 3m depth for up to 30 minutes. IPX7 is remarkable because the scope also features a user-replaceable 27- 55x eye piece. The Toric UHD is compatible with Vortex eye pieces and Tract also offers MOA or MRAD reticle eye pieces. The body features a built in retracting sunshade, indexing eye cup, and an indexing 1/4″ tripod mount ring.
The Toric UHD offers a rather basic 2x magnification ratio, chosen to reduce both weight and price. Unfortunately its low end is 27x which is rather narrow and zoomed. This limits this scope’s usability for hunters wanting a wide field of view for scanning. Lacking a wide field of view could also be a problem if you’re spotting for a buddy that needs help seeing where their shots are landing.
At max 55x, the image is still quite crisp and bright. There was a modest amount of chromatic aberration at 55x but this did not effect its practical clarity for target spotting. I could easily make out .22cal holes on paper at 100 yards. The Toric UHDs performance on the USAF-51 resolution chart easily matched or surpassed 60x scopes I have tested.
Tract keeps costs down by using a direct to consumer model so these scopes aren’t available at big box sports stores or optics companies.
The 5Tactix is an LPVO that thinks it’s a 5 Conquer long range rifle scope. The 5Tactix is part of the trend trend of more magnification in LPVO’s. Not just 6x or 8x but an impressive 10x. This really blurs the lines given not-too-long-ago a 3-9x scope was the standard for “long range” rifle scopes.
Riton sent me a sample of the 5Tactix which I first saw earlier this year at SHOT Show 2023. This scope is part of Riton’s new product line redesign with their new signature Rifle Twist pattern on their control surfaces. It is a design inspired by the lands and grooves of a rifle barrel twist. This aggressive groove patten offers very good grip contact for wet or gloved hands as well as a very stylish look that I find aesthetically appealing.
This LPVO has a 34mm tube with capped turrets. The turrets are resettable and are tactile positive and very audible. The adjustments in my sample are 1/10 of a MRAD per click.
The magnification ring has Riton’s patented Throw Fin design which has two slots on the ring. You can reposition or remove the included throw-lever fin on either slot to best fit your handedness or ergonomics. The fin appears much more durable than a screw on lever and Riton offers options to purchase additional fins of different heigh profiles.
The reticle is First Focal Plane (FFP). At 1x this appears as a thin T-style reticle with arrowheads and a floating center dot. The cross hairs thin. They remind me of precession reticles on target rifle scopes. This is the problem, this isn’t a target rifle scope, it’s an LPVO.
Most people choose an LPVO because they own an AR. For most civilians that really means 10-100yrds at the range or 100-300yrds hunting. A hunting reticle needs to provide a visible aiming point in cluttered backgrounds and for action shooters that also means an aim point that can be visually re-acquired during quick follow up shots.
The 5Tactix’s thin 1x reticle is hard to find in cluttered backgrounds especially after recoil; unless you happen to be shooting on flat desert or snow terrain. Some LPVOs with thin reticles get around having thin cross hairs by offering thick aiming cues or compensating with bright center illumination. Unfortunately the 5Tactix does neither well.
The thin cross hairs have thicker arrow heads at the tip but they don’t become prominent until the scope is set at 5x or higher and the FFP reticle is scaled up. The 5Tactix offers 6 levels of illumination which light up the arrowheads and the center diamond and Christmas Tree. At max brightness the 5Tactix reticle is indoor bright but not daylight bright and far short of “red dot bright” found in Nightforce and other high end LPVOs.
At 5x and especially 10x the 5Tactix really starts to shine. The center dot enlarges to reveal a diamond aiming point with a Christmas Tree grid below providing hold overs out to 1100 yards. The 5Tactix has the glass clarity to back up 1000 yard use providing a clear bright image from 1x to 10x. Riton would have been better served making a 5Tactix SFP version with the 10x reticle as its fixed reticle available at 1x.
My sample optic appeared to be wider than 1x at its lowest end. Objects in the scope appeared slightly smaller. I had to dial up the magnification to ~1.1-1.2 to get a 1:1 match when sighting with both eyes open. But the view it did provide was as sharp and bright as higher end LPVOs on the market.
Perhaps Riton was focused a bit too much on being the best long range LPVO with the 5Tactix? Or perhaps the 5Tactix was designed for a very specific type of rifle user. Who that is, I’m not sure but its not me.
