Thread: Chinese Brand Scopes

I asked them if they would consider send me a scope for a forum pass around. My proposal was that once I receive it I would do some testing, and then I would pass in it onto another person in the forum, that person would do some testing in his/her own way, and then send it to the next person - whomever may be interested in this exercise.

T-eagle turn me down, apparently do not think there is much value in this.

Given that there are no reviews - comprehensive or otherwise - on the internet at all (except a few on on aliexpress, one of which says the scope does not stop down to 10 yard as advertised), I was weary about trying their product (which is why I posted this thread in the first place). Now that it would appear that they do not think the cost of one scope is worth the marketing effort, my confidence is further undermined. I may come back to this thing in a few months time and see if there are any positive and properly conducted reviews.

Bro, nobody is going to do a ‘properly conducted review’ on a piece of shit $250 scope. It’s not worth buying, let alone doing a review on it.

You should buy it and do the review. That way you will know for sure. It’s only $250.

TBH part of me kinda agrees with you. The time cost and ammo cost involved, for a 50/50 shitty scope, seems like a pointless proposition.

On the other hand I wish, therefore have hopes, for something like this. Currently mainstream brands do not make low-cost scope with modern for low powered rifles. if you want things like Christmas tree type hold over reticles, push and pull turrets, side focus, 4+ zoom range etc. you usually have to pay big money for the mid to top models for them, even if you just want to use it on a 17 HMR.

I think there may be only one such scope from a semi-known (if that) brand: https://athlonoptics.com/product/rif...lr-ffp-ir-mil/
