Hello Folks!

Has anyone got any hands-on experience with this optic? All the info I can get on it is hearsay only.

Thanks!!

If you are an 8541, you don't want that scope!

Give some details on what is needed and we will help, do NOT buy a countersniper!


And thank you for your service.

I've not had one "in hand", but have done some fairly extensive research.  Avoid like the plague (or swine flu).  I've spoken to "users", I've traced the claims of sales to SpecOps, I've traced the "govt contracts".   STAY AWAY.

Opinion,untempered by fact,is ignorance.

There are some who do not fear death... for they are more afraid of not really living

Thanks for the input. I was considering buying a used REM700 PSS that had one of these mounted. Sounds like I'll be negotiating a deal sans optic! Thanks again-

If you have interest, look up the countersniper website, you'll see the type of idiotic claims they make.

 
Don"t pay for the scope, buy the rifle without.  And ask the guy a few questions to ascertain whether he took care of the rifle and bore.  Good ones are well worth the money and effort.

I held one in my hand and looked around a gun show with it. The tube was not impressive and the glass was minimal acceptable. I was surprised that it seemed to be about as good as a BSA, Simmons or Tasco. It is my understanding that they are a fake company with a web page full of fiction; the scope seemed like typical Chinese quality. It was way better than the FM scope I bought (CQT Copy), but it was not worth more than $50. The one I looked at was 1-8x or something like that. It seemed alright at both ends of the magnification range but the range was more like 2-7x.
