So lately it's come out that a lot of companies are getting stuff made in China,getting slight mods done and rebranding then as there's. Hint this thing has been goin on forever and you can do a lot of research and find out some neat stuff but basically a lot of stuff is the same stuff.
Anyhow there are some Chinese stuff that's getting imported that's actually apparently really good ( for what they are don't get in your high horse and try to compare it to ziess or s&b or something) for what it is. The airgun world is pretty heavy in a lot of this stuff and one brand in particular keeps popping up. Apparently the main guy importing these is pretty anal about QC and all the air gun guys love them so said I'd get one when I got the chance and the price was right.Well a I saw a post in the deal then where they had a 6-24 ffp scope for sale for $110. I needed another scope for my PCP/.22lr and since it was well within my monthly play around budget ( yes I budget to buy random crap) I said why not. So picked done up. Now again this is for my .22 lr or one of my PCP's but honestly it's not bad for the money lol.
So right off the bat was packaged really nice . Not the best but pretty nice. Came with a good many goodies including a sunshade focus wheel, cleaning cloth, some ok quality sky scraper rings ( they'll get tossed in the spares drawer lol) a very nice little manual, one of the best I've seen personally,

Ok as far as the scope, it's actually not too bad. Again it's a $100 Chinese scope so of course it's not gonna be as nice as a $500 leupold or $2500 Nightforce but I Mena it's pretty solid for what it is definitely better feeling then the Walmart rack specials. It is proportioned kinda odd though. But nothing rattles around or anything , I have some of these come out the box with something rattling around , they worked but where looses as all get out. This is is t that. Everything is pretty smooth. Clicks are pretty nicely audible and feel good. Doubt this will have perfect tracking but turrets are really nice to have for me. No wobble in the caps when you pull them up or push them down either

Came with some nice little spring loaded flip caps, not the best but their ok. As far as glass quality.....eeeghhh better then barska not as good as Simmons or lower priced Bushnell. But again $110 Chinese scope. The reticle isn't the best isn't the worst either though I would have preferred it being illuminated. The target dot isn't stupid big . The parallax is looking. Pretty good as well, down to 10yd. But I need to mount this on a gun and shoot some before I say much more

The one thing i've noticed on the cheaper scopes, (aside from glass quality), is if you sight them in and leave it alone they will do alright. If you like to adjust for windage or drop, they aren't very consistent to return to zero.

Looks nice, I’d agree with bleeohio as returning to zero maybe the only problem, but hopefully it does, and just think right there is an engagement ring.

Mmmmhmmmm but shhhhhhh don't let everyone know lol. All it is is the lenses are made in the same places but their just sorted and graded in different batches according to different factors. Then all it is is company ABOr C comes in and gues whichever batch matches their specs.

Buy the glass and import it so it can be assembled in the use and they can slap the made in America label on it

Wolfie. You make these kind of of posts often. Do you EVER take advise from others that give it too you?

Your $$, do as you see fit.
Can't help but shake my head thinking anyone can think that buying a dial up scope that cheap and think it's gonna be the newest " cats **s".
Ain't gonna happen!!!

Said it before and will again.
If your serious about guns/ accuracy, save your $$ and buy GOOD stuff instead of buying a bunch of Junk.

I just want your kind of money. All the junk you’ve bought just since I’ve been on here and I could’ve bought 2-3 more midrange thermals, lol.

So far it's , meh again about what you'd expect for $100. Would probably be much better if it was a second focal plane. Eye relief is kinda short , yeah first focal plane and $110 don't really go hand in hand , but that's kinda a given laugh anyhow I will say 12-24 power it really ain't horrible but not great. Definitely usable be egh. Honestly for the money I'd probably bump up and get the athlon neos . Think I paid $120-130 for the on on my girls .22 and it's an amazing little optic for the money, at least so far . It you want something you can dial and don't mind having a forward facing parallax adjustment I'd drop 180 and go with the Muller ATP tactical 4-16 all day long. It's not super perfect as far as dailing but I've used it to pop crows out to 250 with my .22lr ALOT smile
