For anyone still looking.

"state-of-the-art single-point diamond turning equipment"

That's about as descriptive as "new and improved"... We do "single point 'grinding'" at work when cutting aluminum oxide spray, but it looks amazingly like old fashioned lathe turning using a diamond tipped insert. Whoopty poo!

Still if they scopes work OK I might get one. Any range reports yet?

[vintage hunter]

A lot of folks admitted to purchasing one from the first shipment but nobody posted a range report on them. Except me. Maybe they had the same results i did. Based on my experience they're a first class hunk of junk, mechanically. The best thing going for them are the optics, which are quite good. I sent mine up to Wheaty to see if he could do anything with it. He managed to get it running so i can use it but barely. Maybe i got the bad egg in the bunch but the lack of any positive feedback leads me to think otherwise. There's another thread on the repro no. 32's that has a detailed description of the problems mine had if anyone wants to read it before buying one.

[Peter Laidler]

Someone else has just come to me and told me that the optics, while good -ish(?) are not the same as the standard optics so don't give the same graticle displacement (apparent movement) as the No32. As a result, the graduations on the range scale are very hit and miss ..... literally! I don't know whether it's the lead screw thread or the optics but once zeroed in at 100 yards, there was accumulating error as he got down the range. Just a good job the wind wasn't blowing too I say!

But at the price I suppose you could say that they magnify the target.............. Anyone else experienced this?

Are these scopes Chinese made? If they are you can expect nothing BUT trouble.

[vintage hunter]

Yes Peter, I think i have experienced this as well. I zero'd mine at 300 yds. and set the drum accordingly, however, when set at 100 yds. it shot low best i can remember. I think it's in the lead screw thread mostly. Wheaty told me the repro lead screws would'nt interchange with the originals because the threads had a different pitch. Do you remember telling me how to adjust the focus on my scope? Well, thats another difference between the repro's and orininals. There's nothing under the segment cover on the repro's except a couple of tiny set screws. I don't recommend anyone spending their hard earned $$$ on one of these things. They're just in for a big disappointment.

Like my mum always used to tell me. It's a bit like shopping at Marks and Spencers (a large, good, well respected British chain store for you wild colonials and savage untamed antipodeans out there in forumland.............). You get just what you pay for. Nothing more and nothing less............ Wise words there Mum!

[PrinzEugen]

Interesting thoughts from everyone. Presumably the ones available elsewhere from time to time are coming from the same source. So come on Milsurpers - a lot seem to have bought it - has everyone found it problematic? We need some more reviews!

[Peter Laidler]

To be honest Herr Prinz, I'm not sure that many of the forumers here have bought the fakes. Not that they'd interest me, but I just get the feeling that it's probably cheaper to find an old dog - but a genuine old dog - on that auction site and have it rebuilt. That way you know that any 'problem' is easily sorted out and at least what you've got is calibrated to the rifle you're sticking it onto!

Just my two pence worth but I certainly wouldn't dip my feet into the fake scope waters. Too many sharks there for my liking

[xa-coupe]

I thought long and hard about getting one but if the quality isn't at least as good as a run of the mill scope then it's not worth my money. I'll use the weaver till I have spare pennies for a real one.
