Hi , I fairly new to shooting and hunting only been at it a year. I recently got a marlin xt-22mr .22 wmr and was in the market for a descent cheap scope because its suppose to be a bit of take any where beater gun. So I found on Ebay a bushnell banner (or atleast the picture was) for 40 bucks with covers and mounts I thought great deal, so I bought it and 4 weeks later I got it, yesterday. I open the package and everything looks goods but scope doesn't says bushnell looks like A BANNER but says SBEDAR and I cant find any info on this brand. Took a good look at it seems like a ok scope but i'm a newbie so what do I know right Big Smile. Can anyone tell me about these optics please. Im probably gonna be stuck it it anyways because I figure its gonna costs has much to send it back has I paid for it. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks guy's.

Chinese brand (the factory may also manufacture fake Banners)

Quality ? "Wouldn´t rely on it more than a fake (or even a real) Bushnell Banner" Wink

The seller has sold you something else than you wanted, money back if he´s honest.......

Mount it on your gun, and go shoot it.  The recoil on a rimfire is not likely to destroy it too fast, and hopefully it will get you down the road until you need/want/afford something better.

You would be better served if you asked opinions on products before you bought them Wink

It will cost almost as much to ship it back, so use it until you can get something better. Beware that EBAY runs the highest percentage of counterfeit merchandise out there. This is not to say that all of the counterfeit products are junk. Sometimes they preform well for the price point. Rarely will there be satisfactory warranty support. More often it is better to pick a good dealer like SWFA for quality support before the sale.
Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.
