GPO Launches Tactical Monocular with MIL Reticle
German Precision Optics (GPO) has introduced the TACTICAL MONO 10x42 ED, a compact monocular aimed at tactical, law enforcement, and field-use applications. The monocular features a 10x magnification with a 42mm objective and an offset MIL reticle intended for rapid range estimation and tactical measurements. The last feature is what (in my opinion) really sets it apart from most other offerings.
The TACTICAL MONO 10x42 ED measures 5.3 inches in length and weighs 13.4 ounces. It is housed in a rubber-armored magnesium body and includes a removable belt clip for attachment to gear, clothing, or packs. GPO states the design is focused on portability and immediate accessibility in demanding environments.
The monocular employs ED (extra-low dispersion) lens elements to enhance image clarity and minimize chromatic aberration. The offset MIL reticle allows users to estimate distance, measure targets, or make other field calculations without additional equipment.
According to GPO, the monocular is suited for tactical operators, law enforcement, and other professionals who require fast visual assessments in the field. As with other GPO optics, the TACTICAL MONO 10x42 ED is backed by the company’s Spectacular Lifetime Warranty.
“Speed, accuracy, and reliability are critical in tactical scenarios,” said Mike Jensen, Owner/CEO of GPO USA. “The GPO TACTICAL MONO delivers all three instantly, combining an advanced MIL reticle and ED-glass clarity into a rugged, pocket-sized tool that professionals can rely on in any situation.”
Here you can see the reticle. I wish more binos and monos could come with reticles, but I would prefer an even finer chart at some point. This is a great tool to measure things, as well to call out corrections as a spotter.
