[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Cheap ebay Aimpoints

Posted: 10/2/2005 6:01:33 PM EDT

I'm thinking about buying an Aimpoint with the 3x mag in the near future. I have never used an Aimpoint and have no idea if I will like one or not.
Do you think buying one of those cheap fake ones on ebay for $50 would give me a feel on what one would be like before I spend the big bucks? I'm not planning on using a cheap one, but just want to get a feel on the sight picture and using a red dot sight.

If you just wanting to get a feel for a red dot, just get a $30 BSA.

Just buy a cheap $30 red dot from Wal-Mart, no need for it to be an Aimpoint clone.

Then, if you like it, get the Aimpoint (or EOTech).

Has anyone bought one of these? Did it do what it advertised?
YOu can't expect much for $50, but woudl it be worth it to get one and try it for a few weeks before buying the real deal?

Just like Sniper and Absolut said... buy you a BSA red dot and see how you like it.

The construction is cheap yadda yadda, but just look at the basic principles.

I bought one... liked it but wanted something heavier duty so I bought an M3.

I wouldn't buy them just because they're made in freakin' china.
