Anyone who has shot long distances understands the benefits of checking your targets without having to walk back and forth endlessly. While spotting scopes are a significant plus here, they can be bulky and cumbersome at times. The solution has been a monocular-style optic due to its compact size and ease of carry. The challenge has always been that they are simply magnified optics. Ultimately, we want a monocular with a reticle to allow ranging and to make shot corrections. Well, the team at German Precision Optics (GPO) has heard our cries and has introduced the Tactical Mono 10×42 ED.
