I will also say that I traded for an airgun a while back and it came with a Monstrum 3-9X scope on it. I didn't even pay much attention to it and set it aside. Later, I thought I'd give it a try on one of my Royales and that thing is one of the clearest scopes I've used. I have no idea how the tracking is, other than it holds zero and I did crank it up and down and sideways a couple of times and it came back to zero but it wasn't enough for any kind of concrete proof it tracks. My only gripe was the thick reticle for airguns, but it wasn't bad at all, I've see UTG with thicker. I used it for a while and then my neighbor needed a scope and I gave it to him for his Huntsman, and he loves it.
So, I don't doubt it's a crapshoot. I just ordered a Hawke 1-4X turkey dot for my Notos and it's "ok", nothing special. It's "fairly" clear and the dot is just right. It's just kinda "blah". I'd use it if I had to, but for my Notos the Monstrum prism is absolutely so much fun to use, it's staying there til I mount a scope on it. The Marksman prism is absolutely clear, and for $89 a great deal. I'd love to be able to have "no tools" adjustments, but I just use hold over, so no biggie.
