Style: Circle Cross Reticle


Features

  • Open reflex sight for rapid target acquisition of close range targets out to 100+ yards. Open reflex sights offer better peripheral vision and greater situational awareness than enclosed tube red dots.
  • Offered in two different parallax free reticle configurations: circle cross reticle with a 2 MOA center dot and a multi-mode reticle with three selectable reticle options. Electronically controlled illumination with multiple levels of intensity up to daylight bright.
  • The Ares Red Dot comes with a custom optical system with minimal power draw and Shake Awake motion sensing technology. The dot will automatically shut off after one hour and re-activate instantly upon movement, providing tens of thousands of hours of battery life on a single battery, up to 10 times longer than LED powered red dots.
  • Integrated picatinny recoil lugs compatible with picatinny mounting platforms. For rifles and long guns. Not for use with pistols or handguns.
  • All Monstrum products are backed by a lifetime guarantee.

  • Bright, Modern look, Solid Construction
Style: Circle Cross Reticle
For the price, it's fantastic. I expected a super cheap product but it's solid and holds up to daylight range use. It looks very modern and has that tacticool appeal. The reticle is very bright. If you have a lot of weapons and you want a dot for a fun gun this will do. If you want to spend more the multi reticle version would be a good choice, too. ... show more

  • Awesome product, Awesome price!
Style: Circle Cross Reticle
This red dot for the money is very well made! I have 5 monstrum optics of all sorts, this is my second one of these, literally best bang for your buck! I've got one a 12 gauge shotgun, has stayed zero even after 800 rounds! You won't be disappointed!

  • Works well with pump 12ga
Style: Circle Cross Reticle
As my eyes get older, wanted to try out a red dot for my home defense 12ga. Mounted easily to the picatinny rail, and went to the range and once sighted it, it held zero. Nothing fancy - just a simple red dot to aim at things that go bump in the night.

  • Changes from listing - but for the better.
Style: Multi Mode Reticle
I just received my Ares Red Dot V2, and it it is slightly different from the description and pictures. My bad - from the description, I thought that illumination would be adjusted automatically based upon ambient lighting, but this is not the case. If you look very carefully at the pictures, you will barely make out an illumination +/- toggle on the back of the sight. The description simply says multiple levels of illumination (which I thought confirmed automatic adjustment), but the sight actually has 11 levels of illumination. Also, the illumination toggle switch has been moved to the left side of the sight (as shown in some pictures of Ares sights). The elevation adjustment has also been moved to the top of the light projection housing. This is better because elevation can be adjusted without interfering with the light showing on the sight. There are also some additional cosmetic changes. Overall, I conclude that these changes are actually improvements to an already good and well-reviewed sight. I would have preferred that Monstrum would have updated their listing rather than put buyers through a discovery process, but I find these changes more acceptable when they are for the better. ... show more

  • Extremely happy with price point and performance
Style: Circle Cross Reticle
I absolutely love the Monstrum Ares V2. The clarity is excellent, the construction is solid, and the overall performance far exceeds what you'd expect at this price point. It feels rugged and dependable, with smooth adjustments and crisp, repeatable turrets. The illuminated reticle is clean and easy to use in all lighting conditions, and the eye relief is generous enough to stay comfortable during extended shooting sessions. Zeroing it was simple, and it has held zero perfectly ever since. Honestly, this optic delivers the kind of quality and functionality you'd expect from a much more expensive scope. If you're looking for a reliable, durable, and feature-rich LPVO without breaking the bank, the Ares V2 is a fantastic choice. I couldn’t be happier with it. ... show more

  • Exceptional scope!
Style: Multi Mode Reticle
This red dot far exceeded my expectation in quality!! Just like other posts I’ve read, it was a touch heavier than I expected, which makes it feel solid!!! I never thought the reticle would be as awesome, bright, and clear as it is!!! Extremely happy with this, after being hesitant about it at first. My suggestion would be, don’t hesitate!! Get this if you’re looking for a quality red dot!!! I have many different brands, and I’d rate this as being the best bang for your buck!!! ... show more
