So what's the verdict on the cheap Monstrum scope rings?

[bruceleroy]

you drug your rifle behind your car??

Hells no. I drug the mount screwed in to a 2x4.

Ironically I just returned a set yesterday. They did not fit the rear picatiny slots on my Burris steel rear base for my Howa. Ordered a pair of Burris Z instead. They are a little heavier but gtg in my experience.

I got a set of the Monstrum Pros with the 7075 Aluminum. It went in a bolt action. Still, they needed lapping. After that I was happy with them.

I have some of the predator 7075 ones and was actually pretty impressed for the price. They look an awful lot like the Leupold ones.

Never mind, I pulled that rifle out of the safe and found a cracked ring cap. Installed per directions using a torque driver. It was not cracked the last time I shot this rifle so it happened in storage.

I only use them in 22’s. When they do fail it’s cheap and fun to sight back in. Try and keep yourself from running 5 rounds in a 10/22 to sight in and then you HAVE TO finish off the magazine. Then you should finish off the box just to be safe.

That ain’t good. Now I’m wondering about mine.

@ropeup79 What did you have them torqued to? Thanks.

 

[ropeup79]

I don’t remember exactly. Around 20 in/lbs I think. I’ll find the directions and check.

 

[ropeup79]

The directions say 18 in/lbs and I’m pretty sure that’s what I went with. I didn’t lap them or anything but they seemed pretty square and I made sure they were even on each side.

That’s worrisome for me. Same thing I did. I guess I’ll see what happens. Thanks for the info.

The last time I shot that rifle was when I installed these rings and sighted in. I looked it over pretty well and would have noticed a crack. It’s been in the safe since so that’s where it happened.

I slapped a pair on a 6.5 Grendel AR build and they have been solid.

 

[Unckebob]

I bought a pair because I needed a cheap set of rings fast. They were fine on the first rifle. When I tried to move it to another rifle, the piece that clamps it to the rail cracked.

1 easy call and I had replacements on the way. Excellent customer service.

 

[ropeup79]

I agree, great customer service. They sent me a new set and they mounted up fine. Torqued to 18 in/lbs per their spec. We’ll see I guess.
