Thread: Who is interested in a pass-around for a Chinese scope?

I plan to send to the next person a few photos and maybe even a quick video of the scope every time before I send out the actual scope. If the next person in line is convinced that the scope is in good condition (i.e. not already damaged by the previous person), then I send out the scope.

3. I already explained that the supplier does not mind not getting the scope back. But he wants, and I also want, as many people to have a free go as possible. that requires every person who is having a go to:
a. use it with care. b. treating it with care when transporting/posting/storing, c. send it back on time when their time is up. That is not going to happen if everyone gets it without putting up a bond. It will likely to get lost, damaged, or delayed in going to the next guy very quickly. That is why the pass-around in other forums are often very restrictive. Only the privileged few, like long term donating members and admins, get a go.

4. to address your point about why dont I just pass it to people who I think is "alright". Well I do not know anyone on this forum personally. Moreover and interestingly (and some may consider me cynical for saying so), if I needed proof that some people feel too entitled, I need look no further than this very thread.

I have to agree. The forum chronographs always seem to be a "where is it? " topic on here.

I am not looking for any new optics as I am satisfied with what I have but I would happily participate if the bond was say half the value of the scope with a promise of you buy it if you break it thru negligence.

I would not want anyone who does not have the ability to mount a scope with the correct tooling to participate either.
You will get ring marks etc but maybe have a set torque limit for the rings.
