    I have one mounted on a .308 Savage and it does fairly well. I would consider it priced correctly for the quality, so compare it to others in the same range. I certainly would not consider it "military or law enforcement" quality, but if you are just out shooting at the local range or doing hunting where you are not throwing the thing in the bed of your pickup, it should be fine. I know many "purists" will blast the scope, but I think it is mainly because of the way it is marketed versus the actual quality for the price.

    It is way overpriced.
    Poor quality and reliability.
    Inconsistent movements.

    Thay spend more on their fancy ads than the scopes.

    D. All the above.

    They've changed names a couple times but they are basically the same POS Chinese scope working off marketing looks not function. I fell for one a few years ago "made by the same company making major brand name scopes". It quit focusing while on top of a .243. Edit: Fortunately, I only paid $150 for it. Not that I can waste that but that's what ended up happening.

    Stick to quality names even if made in China. Some of the lower end Tasco's, Simmons, Bushnells, etc. will only cost you $29-$59 for the same reliability. At least then you haven't laid out a bunch for a scope that will junk out on you.

    From what we heard on the last post about these someone was about to drop $650. If you've got $650 to drop on a scope get a Burris Signature Select, Leupold VX III, or Vortex Viper.

    There is no way to counter a sniper unless your a sniper, Just because the scope says Counter sniper does not mean its anything more than junk[xx(] By a real scope one a sniper would use per-say, Night force, Leupold, Swarovski, the price goes up, But calling it a counter sniper scope does "nothing" except make you pay way to much for way to little[:)]

    You really need to go and read the other thread on this topic. In reality, when you are counter sniping, you are hunting a sniper...one who blends himself in with the area surroundings so well, you are literally looking for something small moving, or out of place...you need HIGH POWER, and more importantly HIGH RESOLUTION at HIGH POWER. Those offered for a fraction of the cost, and touted as "Counter Sniper" scopes, are not what a true sniper hunter is looking for. As the rest hinted they are poor quality, and the seller is trying to GIMMICK the sale. so, be forwarned you take the risk of it being a total POS. Quality wise, they amount to about a Tasco, or Barska
