Is this Crap, for Air soft? Anbody have it? Sure its not Trij, or other starting at $1000, but is it a decent optic for $80 (bang for buck). If anyone has this, or similar, mounted directly on flat top? or riser?  Thanks, |
Checking my email, the Cabela's weekly flyer was in the inbox, they're selling it for $99.99, here's there write up. "This general use scope was designed on the tactical principle of quick target acquisition and rapid firing. The waterproof, fogproof and shockproof qualities make it extremely reliable for advanced combat firearms. Get instant and accurate targeting with unlimited eye relief and the illuminated tactical reticle. The 30mm objective lens gathers a maximum amount of light. Standard 5/8" base with windage and elevation adjustments. One-year limited warranty. " Worse case scenario, might end up on my Scout project... |
WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I expect an email about these things... BTW... Things happen here too... Kai *might* have a friend soon!  and somehow I'm now a 1% land owner in Maui... You and the wife want to come to Hawaii next summer?!?! |
Yes, I think I might owe you money so I'm staying on the lowdown. |
2 Mags? You gonna make the LCR? and bring Tumbling Weeds? |
It's for a Barret .50 bmg, CQB project I'm working on. JK

First of all, you must realize that this is a red dot style scope duded up to look like a trijicon. This sight will have NO magnification. You cannot have "unlimited eye relief" and have amagnified optic. Second of all, with the trij dress up attempt comes a smaller internal diameter tube, and extra weight. It may be a small amount of extra weight, but it is still there. I personally have no use for duded up crap. If I were on a budget, i'd stick with a tasco pro-point. Back in the day before I could afford an aimpoint, I had a pro-point and it lasted quite awhile, did what I needed it to, didn't lose zero, and was eventually passed onto a friend who used it for a few years as well. Try SWFA TASCO PRO POINTS I'd personally go for the bigger tube diameter models, like the 1x32 at the bottom of the page. |
 You didn't use any swear words, or call him any names. You feeling ok?

Meh.....it's an off time right now. Things are going smoothly, nobody has my ire worked up, and i'm feeling pretty good. The weather could be better, but other then that, things are fine. Also, after some of the other shit going on in a couple of other threads (brokenstuff type threads) I figured that somebody else has the market cornered on assholeiness right now. Dickhead........

Hmm, interesting point. Was reading,, somewhere, i'll try to remember where, but this one Tacitcool fellow was preaching the benifits of "High Mounted" optics, and how it reduces reaction time. i.e. less travel from a carry/ entry/sneaky position to firing positon. That being said, it must be nice to be able to shoot the above rig from your waist. had to edit this post, i think the pictured setup is stooopid(scope, on mount, on handle mount, on carry handle), I like my rifles compact, and not 2 feet high. |
C'mon you weenie! There's got to be something said for being able to hip shoot and still use an optic.....

AU show up at the next LCR and remind me to bring it and I'll bring you a Tru Glo red dot you can have. So long as when your done with it you pass it on. It's like this one but the 40mm version. www.opticsplanet.net/truglo-red-dot-sights.html Things been colecting dust on my desk. And WTF Grumpy you in a good mood??!?!?!? Gona have to fix that!  |
aaahhhh  , good folk stepping up to help me (free too!), but I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna make LCR until either more help arrives, or my new boy can hold a riffle,,so, maybe this winter
|
Alright alright, i'm sold, err, unsold. I'll keep saving my milk money for the nice guns, and get a tasco red dot etc. for the beater/scout projects. Thanks for all the... advise. |
