3.5-10x40 leup clone

[Aardys]

surely these must be of real poor quality (?)

shows you have never tried one then .
i will stick my neck out here and say ,for the first time in the world of telescopic sights ,
i think i have got more than i paid for
acording to PAT thease are rated up to 308 cal .
and maybe i should have used the term leupold type . as in simular in style and function . etc.it has not got the words leupold on it . so not a rip off copy

I also have one of these, it's a little beauty. I originaly bought it, a Bushnell 10x40 3200 and a Nikon 4.5-14x40 Buckmasters sidewheel and kept the Cloop and sold t'other two. However I have mates who also bought Cloops and say that they are cr@p. So it seems you have to be lucky to get a good one.

It is true that there is a huge variation in the quality of these scopes...

I have seen 3 different variants of the 3.5-10*40mm........And yes the quality can vary massively....It really is Russian roulette!

As Luddite said....if you get a good un then your luck really is in

I was told by china contact that the copies were being stopped due to successful lawsuit by Leupold......obviously not the case

The best by far is the 50mm Illuminated reticle........And its not an IR that lights up the whole tube - if you know what I mean -like AGS ect....

lucky ol me then
as for the leupold lawsuit , it has not got the leupold name on it or the gold ring trade mark it is just similar to it , like some Timex watches that are similar in form to a Rolex divers watch . just similar in form and function
if it had the Leupold name stamped on it and the gold ring etc ,then i would say it was bad news . but there are other scopes out there with a similar spec ,do we call them rip off's ?
oh well just a thought, anyway mine works very well so
i have noticed if you have anything Chinese on this forum it makes you very unpopular .

Further to my last post the Cloop had superior resolution to the Bushnell 10x40 3200 and was almost equal to the Nikon Buckmasters 4.5-14x40. I plumped for the Cloop as the depth of field was much better than the Bushy when set on 8x and slightly better than the Nikon at the same mag. All had mil dot reticles.
oldcliff if it's back up you're after I can't give you it as it was their opinion not mine.
