NEW Monstrum Scope Testing Procedures
Posted by Chris on Aug 1st 2022
We have now implemented a new series of stringent tests for new scopes that comes off the assembly line. You can be sure that when you purchase a Monstrum scope, you are getting a top-quality optic that has been put through its paces and will perform flawlessly in any situation. The following are just some of the things we test the G3 series of FFP scopes, Spectre series, prism scopes and more. Check the bottom of this page for a detailed list of scopes that have been tested.
| Sub-zero temperatures can cause seals to become brittle, while excessive heat can wreak havoc on electronic components. Optics that receive this badge must pass a functionality test from sub-zero temperatures all the way up to 150°F. By choosing an extreme temperature tested optic, you can be sure that your scope will be able to withstand any environment. |
| Every batch is then immersed after being purged with nitrogen to ensure no fogging or hazing occurs. Nitrogen is an inert gas that doesn't support combustion, so it can't break down like other materials and cause fogging or hazing inside the scope. Nitrogen purging also prevents internal corrosion, which can damage the lenses and degrade performance over time. |
| The scopes are then recoil stress tested to ensure it will not malfunction with heavy shock. A rifle scope is a precision instrument, yet it has to be able to handle a high degree of recoil and shock from hunting and tactical operations. By putting scopes through these tests, we can ensure that they can withstand the rigors of real-world use. As a result, scopes that have been recoil stress tested and shock tested are built to last, even in the most demanding conditions. |
| A rifle scope drop test simulation is an important tool for testing the durability of rifle scopes. Drop tests help to ensure that rifle scopes can withstand the rigors of use, and they also help to identify any potential weaknesses in the design. The drop test simulation involves dropping a rifle scope, from every batch, from shoulder height onto a hard surface. The scope is then checked to see if it holds zero. |
| Once the scope is zeroed, it is important to test it before using it in a real-world situation. We test zero by performing a drop test, check zero and then a shock test and then check it again. By testing twice, we can ensure that the your precision scope will hold up to whatever environment you are put in. |
