SKU: S330P
The Monstrum Tactical S330P is a compact, heavy duty prism scope with a fixed 3x magnification and a 30mm objective lens. Ideal for rapid close to mid-range target acquisition out to 300 yards. This scope uses a glass prism optical system rather than a refracting lens system like traditional scopes, allowing for better optical quality in a much smaller package. The crystal clear optics give a comfortable eye relief of 3.0-3.5 inches. The reticle can illuminate in red or green with multiple brightness levels or viewed in black when off to cover most lighting environments.
Extra Sharp Prism Optics
The Prism Optical System used in the S330P offers a sharp and bright image that you can’t get with standard optics. The eye relief is wide enough to target with both eyes open. Perfect for fast target acquisition practice or for people that have trouble sighting a traditional scope.
Illuminated Reticle
The etched black reticle is always visible without illumination or can be lit red or green for better reticle visibility at night or low light environments. The Full Multi-Layer lens coating reduces chromatic aberrations keeping the image sharp and focused.

Information About Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes enable you to exactly aim a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They do this through magnification by making use of a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adapted to account for varied ecological aspects like wind and elevation increases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help the shooter understand precisely where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are seeing using the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. The majority of contemporary rifle scopes and optics have about eleven parts which are arranged within and outside of the scope body. These parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage dials, objective focus rings, and other parts. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle optics.
Rifle Glass Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. The kind of focal plane a scope has establishes where the reticle or crosshair lies relative to the optic’s magnifying adjustments. It actually means the reticle is behind or before the magnification lens of the scope. Selecting the best form of rifle glass is based on what variety of shooting you anticipate undertaking.
First Focal Plane Optics
First focal plane glass (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the zoom lens. This triggers the reticle to increase in size based on the extent of magnification being used. The result is that the reticle measurements are the same at the magnified range as they are at the non magnified distance. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards without “zoom” is still the very same tick at one hundred yards by using 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where calculations are low
- Experienced shooters who recognize their aim point “hold over” and “lead” ratios for their long gun
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and occupies more visual eyesight room than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) come with the reticle behind the zoom lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement.
- Long distance forms of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most shots occur within much shorter proximities and ranges
- Shooters who want a clearer optic picture with less area taken up by the larger sized FFP reticle
Rifle Scope Magnification
The extent of scope zoom you need on your scope depends upon the sort of shooting you would like to do. Practically every type of rifle glass delivers some level of zoom. The level of zoom a scope provides is identified by the dimension, density, and curves of the lens glass inside of the rifle optic. The magnification level of the scope is the “power” of the scope. This signifies what the shooter is observing through the scope is magnified times the power aspect of what can normally be seen by human eyes.
About Fixed Single Power Lens Rifle Glass
A single power rifle scope comes with a zoom number designator like 4×32. This means the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of optic can not adjust since it is set from the factory.
Adjustable Power Lens Scope Info
Variable power rifle scopes use variable power levels. The power change is performed by the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power and Range Correlation of Rifle Optics
Here are some suggested scope power levels and the distances where they can be effectively used. Highly magnified optics will not be as useful as lower magnification level scopes due to the fact that too much zoom can be a bad thing. The exact same idea goes for extended ranges where the shooter needs to have adequate power to see precisely where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
Scope Lens Covering
All cutting-edge rifle optic and scope lenses are covered. Lens finish is a crucial aspect of a shooting platform when purchasing high end rifle optics and scope equipment.
HD Versus ED Lens Coatings
Some optic suppliers additionally use “HD” or high-definition glass finishings that use different procedures, chemicals, components, and polarizations to enhance separate colors and viewable definition through the lens. This high-def finish is typically used with more costly, high density glass which reduces light’s opportunity to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” signifying extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how colors are presented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic difference or aberration which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration may be obvious around objects with hard outlines as light hits the object from various angles.
Details on Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can also have various finishes applied to them. All lenses generally have at least some kind of treatment or coating applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. Due to the fact that the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It is part of the carefully tuned optic. It requires a coating to be applied to it so that it will be optimally usable in many kinds of environments, degrees of sunshine (full light VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
Single layered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is usually a protective and boosting multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can shield the lens from scratches while lowering glare and other less helpful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single covered lens depends on the scope manufacturer and how much money you paid for it. Both the make and cost are indications of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers similarly make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” coated. Being “better” depends on the producer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of products used in building the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Lens Coverings
Water on a lens does not help with preserving a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line and military grade optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finishing which is water repellent.
Rifle Glass Installing Options
Installing approaches for scopes come in a few choices. There are the standard scope rings which are separately installed to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also usually are made in quick release versions which use manual levers which allow rifle operators to quickly mount and dismount the scopes.
Rifle Glass Mounts with Hex Key Rings
Standard, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop style Picatinny scope mount rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use two different rings to support the optic, and are often made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are developed for long range precision shooting. This type of scope install is perfect for rifles which require a resilient, rock solid mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Quick-Release Cantilever Scope Rings
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly connect and detach a scope from a rifle. If they all use a similar design mount, multiple scopes can often be switched out in the field. The quick detach design is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers fasten securely to a flat top type Picatinny rail. This permits the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while retaining the original sighting settings. These kinds of mounts come in handy for shooting platforms which are carried a lot, to remove the scope glass from the rifle for protection, or for sight systems which are employed between several rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount from the Vortex Optics manufacturer. It usually costs around $250 USD
Rifle Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle scope can mess up a day on the range and your costly optic by causing fogging and generating residue within the scope tube. Most optics protect against humidity from going into the scope tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Normally, these optics can be submerged underneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be plenty of humidity prevention for common use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you anticipate taking your rifle on a boat and are worried about the scope still performing if it is submerged in water and you can still retrieve the gun.
Details on Rifle Scope Tube Gas Purging
Another component of preventing the accumulation of wetness inside of the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this space is already taken up by the gas, the glass is less altered by climate alterations and pressure distinctions from the outside environment which could possibly permit water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
