Monstrum Kimera Scope Rings | Includes Detachable Piggyback Red Dot Base | RMR Footprint

Amazing quality fit and finish especially for the insanity cheap price from a reputable brand!

So far, these scope rings have been really good. Haven't noticed any defects or anything to note that is negative. Screws tighten down good and hold torque. Also, the red dot mount works well and mounts left and right forty five degree and top position. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for good scope, rings, but not wanting to break the bank.

I have a lot of Monstrum and they are usually 5-star. These rings mount an Arken over a 308-class rifle. That aspect has worked out perfectly. I had two issues with the RMR mount. On mine, I had to needle file the engagement nub underside of the plate to get a full fit into the channel. Not a biggie, but I was surprised. My other issue, visible in the ad (but I did not notice), is that if you mount the RMR plate at the 10 or 2 o'clock position you can not get to the clamp fasteners. In order to change or even just move the scope in the rings, you have to 1) Remove the Red Dot, 2) Remove the plate, then 3) loosen the upper clamp. Truth is, I toyed with the idea of 2 o'clock mounting, gave up when I saw the fidgety, mounted 12 o'clock, and have been satisfied with that. But if 10 or 2 were important to me, I would not pick this mount.

I got these specifically to experiment making a sturdy single ring shotgun sight for shorter ranges of 3-15 yards where it would quickly show area of pellet spread. By using M3 screws of varying lengths and colors, and ability to use iridium glow paint on the ends I can make a super sturdy, fast acquisition single ring sight that immediately shows area of strike. Will take some testing, but the possibility of having various length screws and even an inner ring held by screws is fantastic. I wanted a no-batteries, low light, durable FAST sight. This will be it.

Just received and wanted to warn other customers as there isn't a review yet. The rings themselves are robust and well made. No stripping of the threads. The RMR plate however does not sit flush, at least this sample. The image depicts a lug on the underside of the plate that goes into the groove of the top ring half. Excellent idea, though both lug and groove have different angles. These would have been a nice budget alternative if not for that.

Very nice equipment. And a good solution for putting a red-dot alongside a scope, to provide both quick target acquisition via the red dot sight, and more deliberate targeting through a scope. The red-dot plat provided is for an RMR mounting system, like many sights designed for pistols. I think Monstrum is not giving itself enough credit, as this mount is listed as suitable for 34mm, but it also supports 30mm and 1 inch scope tubes with included spacers. So where it appears only suitable for a 34mm scope, it also can be used with the other sized scopes, and/or moved from one weapon to another more easily. Attaching the RMR red-dot plate is optional. If one had just the need of a tall-mounted red-dot sight, one could use the single ring assembly with plate.

These look like decently manufactured rings for a budget build. The $20 price is reasonable at the time of this review. The fasteners are mediocre quality but adequate for the quality of this product. The screws used to attach the RDO plate seem a bit undersized and are the only thing making the connection so they are taking all the recoil forces and don't pass the hokey test for me; I'd rather see a more robust connection. Overall, I like these rings and would use them for a ranch setup, training, or airsoft but I'd save up and look elsewhere for quality rings and RDO mounts for critical duty use.
