    Posted: September/11/2010 at 07:49

Hello folks,  i'm hoping someone has heard or handled this scope as I know absolutely nothing about it, my google searches fail to give me much information.  I was offered this "Menace Counter Sniper Series 4.5X18 "  for a trade but i'm not sure if I want this scope or not.

 
Does anyone know about the "counter sniper" series?   is it garbage?  is it good? 
 
 
thanks :)

  A VERY controversial subject no matter what forum you search.  Right there would stop me from purchasing one.  That plus the fact that I've got alot of respect for the opinions given by the regular members at OT.  They are doers and not arm chair quaterbacks.  Bucky

I invite you to do detail research of the concept of "rare earth gases"...
 
Probably something from Bud's gastrointestinal tract...

I'd trade it for another reactive target and shoot the hell out it.

Actually you know what this may be our chance to get one to test the effects of a Lott on it.  Original Poster  What value are you trading for it?

I'm an Analytical chemist with a minor in Organic chemistry. I have never heard of the material they claim to be using in their tubes. 


I looked through a couple at a gun show and in a brightly lit room they looked just as good as the NC Star scopes the guy was also selling. 


Someone wants to trade you "magic beans" for something of yours. If it was great, would he be willing to part with it?

If God didn't want me to play with it, he'd of made my arms shorter.

  Well of course you haven't!  It's not of this earth.  Rumor in the wind has it that the Klingons are behind it.

As long as the cash portion of the trade is equal to the value of the Tikka and the Glass on it, then you are only risking a wasted block of time if you try to use your new scope for something serious.

I've played the cheap scope game in the past, but now I've been reborn.

 I believe that's a wise decision,lexmark.  Are you needing a scope of that CS's configuration?

Determine the cash value of your Tikka 3 and the Zeiss scope, and tell him you'll trade for that amount +$10.00 for taking the Countersniper off his hands.

Nope,  I dont even need an extra scope but I would have taken it if it was a good deal and if I could make $$ off it.
