Does anyone have any first-hand information? I have seen other forums that people trashed them on, but it was always a friend had one, or I seen on the internet, and never was it I had one.
I bought one a couple of weeks ago. 3-12X50 30mm tube in Mil-Dot Reticle. I put it on my 300 WSM, while taking off my Burris Fullfield II 3-9X50 Balistic Plex (which I am holding on to just in case). The scope is much clearer than the Burris, which could be entirely due to the 30mm tube. I did not use the rings that came with it, but bought leopold dual dove tails. After mounting the scope I set out to check it. On a windy day I shot several 3 shot groups at 100 yards, all sub MOA. Most of the groups were in the .454 to .689. That is right on par or better than I was getting with the Burris. The best group out of the rifle was a .3 on a perfect day. I have put 50 rounds through the gun with this scope with no ill efects.
Matter of fact, I bought one for my dad for christmas and he took off his Leopold on his 243 WSSM. Same thing, better performance.
This last week I bought one in 3-9X40 Mil Dot for my 50cal inline. I have put 20 rounds through it and my last 3 shot group was 1.013 with 150g T7 pellets. I have adjusted zero and put it back and it always moves positively.
You can't beat the warranty, lifetime over the counter, and the price is definitely right. I will amend this if I have any problems. I am in the process of trying to rattle it to death. I have 5 new loads in the development stage for my 300 WSM, so I expect to run at least 75 rounds through it this week.
the price at my local retailer
3-12X50 Mil Dot 30mm $130 lighted reticle
3-9X40 Mil Dot 1" $80 lighted reticle
Like I said, we still have our name brand scopes, but I am giving it a try. They do manufacture all of the chinese military scopes and they are the second largest military spenders in the world
