- I recently purchased a ghost red dot and ghost 3x magnifier from Monstrum Tactical to put on my 16" AR-15 Carbine. Total with shipping came out to $127 thanks to 704tactical for providing a 20% off coupon code '704TACTICAL'.
I go over my initial thoughts and my first time at the range with the ghost combo optics.

Adjust your turrets on the magnifier until the dot is in the center of your magnifier. Adjust the dot to be zeroed at 100 yards before you mess with the magnifier. All the turrets on the magnifier are doing is centering your dot from your optic in the center of the magnifier
This right here^^^
Not to many reviews on ghost ❤
You sight in your red dot without the magnifier flipped over behind it after you have the red dot zeroed in where you want it then you flip the magnifier over so you can see the red dot on your red dot optic and if the dot is off center in the magnifier you use the all w/e turrents on the magnifier is to make the dot appear centered in the magnifier itself that is all those are for just to center it in the magnifier.
Only use the red dots w/e turrets for sighting in your red dot itself and make sure to zero it in without using magnifier the turrets on the magnifier are only to make the dot appear centered in the magnifier not for sighting in your red dot
Glad to see you mentioned you can flip on both sides. Thanks!
Happy to help!
Just got my Ghost set today.
Having a little trouble getting them mounted so that i can tilt the magnifier.
I did install the front lens protector so that it flips down. Doesn't seem to be bothersome. Yet anyways but it stays out the way as far as turning the red dot on/off up/down.
Going to take it to the range soon so I subscribed to see what progress you make and once I give it a run I'll bee happy to share my feed back as well.
And make sure to add blue locktite to all the screws to the proper torque..
In A-day and age where so many people witches come back and give up on the product as if it was all the product and not their own issues I have to say shout out to you for Actually being self aware enough to realize Hey I don't know everything And yes it isn't learning process. Glad to see they're still decent people out here
nice build. i got the same sight set up.
Do you have an update? Did you went back to the range? You mentioned the eye relief is poor now what about the glass clarity, waiting for an update, thanks
The rail system is the same. Its just a low mount if you dont want to use the 1" Riser.
You- “not gonna read this, I’m sure I can figure it out”.
Also you- “I don’t know what these turrets on the magnifier are for”.
How has this held up? Mines doing great 👍 I have a cyborg and the 2x post scope magnifier
I bought the same bundle as well, you have to the red dot zeroed first at the distance you desire. The magnifier elevation and windage moves how the red dot looks through it. And you adjust until you zero through it. You should retain the same grouping when you switch between using the magnifier and not. I had the same issue where my red dot became loose I just added locktite on it to prevent it from loosening up when firing
thanks for the input! I'm gonna zero the optics with the laser and do it at home. With ammo prices for 5.56 it can be costly to zero. Hopefully with the laser I can get pretty damn close and then fine tune at the range. I probably should have done this before but usually its a non issue for me to zero. Live and learn!
@@pewpewjitsu7299 a cheap trick to zero is, lock down your upper at the range, pull the bolt carrier, look down the barrel at whatever target you have at the range you want. Maneuver the red dot to line up with to the center of what your seeing down the barrel. It’s always worked to get me on paper with the first shot.
Edit: & there’s nothing that says the cover can’t open to the flat side of optic (right side).
@@jedibike poormans boresight, a trusty trick
8:37 just flip the caps upside down lol the caps will then hit the receiver and there won’t be any obstruction from the caps
Hey Bud, the turrets on the magnifier is to put the red dot on the middle of the tube. Is to put the red dot on the middle of the magnifier. That’s after you zero your red dot.
Thank you! I will give this a try. I'm still learning about eye relief so I'm guessing this has a big part to play with it as well but I will make sure the dot is centered.
Save your ammunition, thread lock, read directions. Its really a great combination!!
When it comes up to a magnifier, I don’t mind going a little cheaper but I can’t justify going less then a Holosun or sig sauer for a red dot budget options.
I actually got this same set just as my own little review because I got them cheap enough to not be upset if I threw them away or if I gave them away but I was actually really surprised at the quality and clarity and the fit is really nice with only a credit card width between the dot and the optic. I’d say the only thing I would add is shake awake and I’d try to slim it down because it’s a little in the heavy side compared to others but if you’re not walking through the woods all day with it then it won’t bother you I think it’s heavy because it’s so sturdy because I put it on a junk rifle just to beat it up and see what it could take and I actually broke parts on the rifle before anything happened to the optics. I still have the them and they’re still working like new and still hold zero. This is the first Amazon purchase I’ve ever been happy with when it comes to gun parts. That’s just my two cents on this particular set up. I got both for less than the Romeo red dot by itself
Should have asked the guy next to you he had a magnifier combo and looks like he had a comfortable and consistent shooting position.
There's no "auto off" or "shake awake" on the Red Dot optic, so you have to turn it to "0" when you're not using it, or the battery will die because it's always on. 👍
Did you find out how to make it all work.
Any updates??
Where did u get the magazine from ?
its on sale black friday deal $109
I bought the same setup, I suggest using thick millimeter neoprene rubber gloves for the protection for the lenses on the magnifier. Cut the fingers and thumb. Or condoms. Lol
So sad cant ship to Philippines
Read the manuals and "watch" CZcams to learn from others who are experts.
Great job having your weapon on fire with the magazine in. Regardless of if your magazine is loaded or not, it's a horrible habit.
