The best quote I ever read regarding Counter Sniper was on this forum... I don't know the original author, and I'm too lazy to look it up, but I'll try my best to quote it: "From the web page: Bertrillium-Zantitium™ multicoating, raises the light transmission coefficients to beyond anything achieved to date. - Bertriullum... Zantitium... WTF is that? Google tells me those two words only exist on counter sniper's web page" I was in tears when I first read that... The author's avatar is Beavis, which added to the laughter. I could not stop laughing. My wife had to make sure I wasn't having a stroke! |

Did they borrow the reticle pattern from a submarine periscope? http://www.countersniperoptics.com/photo/76.jpg the scope looks like a submarine as well....down periscope!!!! |
How the hell are you supposed to see your target throught that reticle???? If you have never checked out their website, and you happen to need a good chuckle, go see the big words they use to describe their super awesome scopes. It'a a scrabble players wet dream

| I love counter sniper scopes. Really, I've never seen one in person but the inelegance of their marketing is truly unparalleled. The big tacticool knobs, rails everywhere, constant references to U.S. military usage, the ridiculous reticles, even the greatly inflated price and super one time over run deals, it all is just so juicy. An unintentional spoof of an entire industry inadvertently done so expertly that I would challenge the finest writer of satire to best it. It might be worth buying one just for the comic value. Hell, I may do that sometime and put it in my reviews as a reference sample. For all I know they are made in the finest optics manufacturing plant in China. I have a secret suspicion that in China there is only one factory for each type of product and they just change the brands on the products every few days anyhow. |
