How many barrels you put on that RUM in ten years?
Um, yeah, if you are naive enough to believe some salesman on the phone saying that POS scope is manufactured in some previously unknown secret US based scope factory, then yes you are the definition of a sucker.
For the record: I’m not giving you shit for asking a question, I am giving you “the shit” for continuing to say that scope is made in the US.
You mentioned that you don’t have a brake on your 300. Well maybe that’s the reason your scope has held up.
if you keep buying cheap scopes youll never make it to the razor. just wait it out and buy a nice optic. But there have been a handful of great alternatives and you've glazed them over. we are trying to help you out man and its not sticking....
check out the bushnell forge and nitro lines, the SWFA is proven as well. if this is you trying to do research then count it as conclusive.
If this goes on much longer you'll go down as another buddly, that's not always a bad thing... for the hide.
i have a free vortex crossfire ii i bought back when I was a poor that I’ll send you if you cover shipping. 6-18x and tbh I can’t tell the difference in glass quality or turrets compared to my ZCO or S&B. It’ll forsure hold up to a 338LM or NM or whatever. If it doesn’t, send it back to vortex and get another one until you realize cheap optics don’t belong on heavy ass magnum calibers.
I would second buying an SWFA SS as they are a great value and track super well. You can buy a shim kit from a member here for about $25 to give it a zero stop function as well.
Oh yeah you're a victum alright but not of us.
The images below highlight what a piece of crap a Monstrum scope is. The parallax adjustment changes point of aim significantly and the entire windage assembly unscrews when the windage turret is adjusted. A scope with laughable mechanical adjustments is worthless to me especially on a large caliber where if the scope has me chasing my ass to figure out what's going wrong it doesn't take many pulls of the trigger to add up to the price of said junk scope in the first place. Just spend the money and buy a tool that's actually capable of doing what you need done. There's a sucker born every minute.
I did not direct my last post to you. The person I directed my post to was the person I quoted in my post...just like this one.

So should I buy the scope he is putting his faith in or not? My Barrett 99 needs new glass. My weaver V16 didn’t hold up to it.
I wouldn’t but you can!

Well shit. If anyone on this thread had hinted they weren’t any good, I wouldn’t have ordered one. Oh well, will see how it works out.

For my money, IOR Valdata, amazing!
Since money is tight, you might want to consider Athlon Optics Neos 6-18 X 44 SFP Scope with 1" tube and splurge on the mount, maybe Badger Ordnance, Leupold, or Vortex. .338 LM recoil is stout, and the etched reticle along with the tighter tolerances of your quality mount would go far in handling these stresses. This scope has parallax adjustment so will aid in your longer distances.
I've got a factory RPR 338 Lapua Mag with the big brake on it, and it does NOT kick bad at all. Just got it recently. My groups are bizarre so far. Starting my own reloads, which always suit me better, and looking to put a much better mount on it, see if those things help. It's shooting about 1.5-2 MOA at 500 and I, too, am pissed. My RPR 6.5CN is a dream, I was hoping the bigger gun would be as well. Shux and then some.
Is this a Buddly reborn thread? please oh please!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw about three different threads about this Monstrum ffp and got my hopes up...

Man. I feel for you to some degree because I don’t think you have a clue what you walked into. I don’t think you know anything about this site. Im not one to post and in fact I used this site for years before I even became a member. It took me all of 1 minute to realize to never ask something like you just did (not that I would). I just hope you can take a deep breath and re-approach how you’re coming at this. Looking at this site for 5 min shows you no one here uses this scope. You failed to do any research not only on the scope itself but on this website as well.
I think that’s where you failed to recognize why it’s irritating to so many to constantly tell you what to do and have you argue with them when you’re the one with the problem and not them. They don’t struggle with these issues regardless of budget as they’ve provided you with great solutions to that problem. Everyone understands budget builds, but the individuals responding to you also know trash. If you think otherwise then I don’t know what you think you will accomplish on this site and I question why you asked this to begin with. It may sound harsh the way you heard it, but essentially in a nicer way, to answer your question, no one has that scope. It would be the recommendation that you chalk that one up to an L. If you want to go down the rabbits hole and chase the never ending issues that you will face with that scope then it’s on you and I advice not to ask any questions regarding it here or you will continue to receive similar responses. However, if you would like to own the mistake of buying a scope that you now realize is trash and would like to take advice moving forward on how to stay on budget and accomplish those same long range goals with your 338 then listen to their responses. They will happily guide you, but don’t think you know more then everyone on this site. I wish you the best and hope you find resolution to your scope issue.

I have several and they work great. However, they are mounted on 25-06, .308 , .257 Robert's and 6.5 cm. Not sure how they will hold up with the heavier calibers.Hi,
OP has already moved past this thread guys.....
Rifle Scopes - Monstrum Scopes
I just want to know if anyone has one in the 8x32x56 mm or the 6x25x50 mm FFP and if they like it? I alreadyknow they are a cheaper scope That is not the question. Thanks.www.snipershide.com
Sincerely,
Theis
If on a budget I would go Bushnell DMR, XRS or vortex Gen II. Don’t skimp on the optic.
Swapfox optics is what you seek OP, that or Quigely Ford V8 454 long block.
