Sucker - HA HA HA.
What do you call it now NOAimeePoint. This is the best advertisment Aimpoint could get. I love this when this happens to people.

Long story short, such mounts dont exist.
Return that POS. If you're going to buy a clone, there are better ones out there than that.... |

Clones are a waste of money, get rid of it and get the real thing. You get what you pay for and you paid for junk....

Thanks for the advice and opinions.
I'm going to give you all the benefit of the doubt and assume you missed the part of my post where I said "UNTIL I BUY A REAL AIMPOINT". Because, if you did read (and actually comprehend) it, it would be pretty stupid to then tell me to buy a real Aimpoint. I'm not talking about all of you - just the dumb fucks that told me to buy an aimpoint or laughed at me for not buying and Aimpoint after I already said I was planning on buying an Aimpoint. Because it might take me a month or so to shake loose the money needed for my Aimpoint, I was hoping that adjustable mounts existed that could tide me over. Thanks again for the helpful replies. |

A sucker is born every minute! next time you want to throw away 80.00 send it to me and I 'll dispose of it properly. With a question like that you should be in a airsoft forum not here......

I have never seen a 30mm mount that externally adjusts for windage and elevation. I also have never seen even a cheap red point like that. Sounds like you got sold some kind if airsoft scope? Throw it out I guess. You SURE there are no adjustments? That's just bizarre even for a pos scope? Can you post a picture?

After completing my build (LMT upper, RRA lower DPMS LPK, KAC M4 RAS, Magpul ACS stock, Matech BUIS) I didn't have enough to buy a real Aimpoint so I spent $80 to at least get an optic. The optic was ~ $60 with shipping and the mount was ~ $20 with shipping. I also have a Colt 6920. I knew I was buying a cheap placeholder optic and I knew I'd be getting good optics when I could afford it. ETA: Pics not necessary. Others posted photos below. |

That's the one I got. That is the website where I bought it. I was guessing on the pricing from memory - I was close. I couldn't find out how to adjust it. |

I bought this because it seemed to be a well received alternative to Aimpoint. It just didn't ship with any instructions and every cap I took off had a battery underneath. I appreciate the help. It's good to know that this is adjustable. I just couldn't figure out how to do it. So, what is the bikini? |

 See the cap on the black disk on the side and the one on the top that have the rubbery plastic doohickey attached to them? Those are windage and elevation, you just screw off the caps  |

I guess the batteries that are under the caps are extras? I probably wouldn't feel so stupid if it shipped with instructions 
ETA: THANK YOU! |

With answers like most of what he got I'm surprised anybody ever stays on this site. When anybody comes here and asks for help, the smart thing to do would be to give him advice, not shit.

The best advice would have been to shoot the irons until you can buy a real optic, clones are for suckers...period. |

I am a blind idiot! What I thought were batteries under the caps were, of course, the adjustment screws. In my defense, I have a fairly new contact lens prescription that works great for seeing things farther than 3 or 4 feet away but they have forced me to need reading glasses. When I took those covers off, I saw batteries! The adjustment screwdriver slots looked like "minus" symbols for the battery. Please feel free to refer to this thread as you see fit. Thanks again for those that actually helped - Arfcom has yet to let me down. This optic isn't that bad at all. |

Quoted: Did somebody hurt your feelings.... The best advice would have been to shoot the irons until you can buy a real optic, clones are for suckers...period. I'm not here to argue that the $500 dollar tool isn't any better, I'm sure it is. I'm also not here to say that some of the knock-offs aren't junk, I'm sure SOME are. However I'm pretty certain 95% of people who own one of the high dollar optics have no need for that class of equipment. If you WANT to have the high-end unit that's fine but unless you use that weapon to perform your job (LEO, military, etc) you probably don't NEED it and you will be suited just fine with one of the reputable "clones". If you have the money to spend and you want to spend it that way, go right ahead, its your money, but stop belittling people who choose to save their money and get something that gets you a hell of a lot more bang for the buck. Honestly, are you so afraid of realizing that you needlessly spent your money? Does telling people that you think they made a bad decision make you feel better about, what I suspect is, your own poor decision? I own both high-end brand name optics, and several Primary Arms clones. I'm yet to have any of the clones fail me, they have been worth every penny I've spent on them, and I fully intend to purchase more. My high-end optics have also worked up to my expectations. Looking back on my purchases if I could do anything differently I might have saved some money and spent less on the high-end stuff. |

Sorry, all I got out of that was "I don't mind screwing Americans out of their jobs while I support the Chinese economy"...... This happens everyday on Arf, someone pretending they want a budget optic and defending their clone purchase. Guess what, there are plenty of budget optics that don't rip off other companies. This isn't a "buy only expensive gear comment" it's a "quit buying gear that screws other companies out of their intelectual property" comment  You people buy clones because you want to impress your friends, not because you don't want to spend the money for a quality optic because you think they are overpriced.

What ever, who the fuck are you to even imply someone elses motivation for buying something "cheaper". Your egos must be compensating for those little tiny peckers you have.
What about M4-forgeries, etc. Or anyone else buying or building a gun that isn't made by the original designer. Get the fuck over yourself. |

Again nothing against budget optics, there are plenty that are solid. The issue is those who want those budget optics to say names like Aimpoint and EOTech on the side. Go ahead, explain to me how that isn't true Sorry, ya can't!

I don't try to hide the fact that what I own is a clone, hell I'm proud of it. I bet there are people who buy a clone, try to pawn it off as something isn't, just to impress people. However I think you are making a pretty big generalization that everybody does that. I look at my budget and I get what think will do the job the best for the money I have to spend. I'm all for supporting US made products, when they have a competitive offering. However those opportunities are becoming few and far between. You say there are plenty of budget optics that "don't rip off other companies", care to give some examples? If you are going to start limiting yourself to only US made products you aren't going to have much to buy. |

I'm glad you guys can convince yourselves you have made the right decision with your optic choices. Competitive offering? Are you serious? American companies put in the work, the funding and the research to develop a product. The chinese come along, copy it, build it with cheap components and sell it for less. That is your competitive offering?? You are a piece of work my friend... |

Primary Arms M3 clone Sorry, working for one of those American companies that the Chinese clone on a daily basis is a little annoying. But, it is entertaining when people who buy the clones try to send them in for repair work...happens at least once a week
