Counterfeit Tasco on fleabay

[phil384]

Sorry mate, did you REALLY think it was real

[DRIFTER]

these scopes are made by chinese there wages are a bowl of rice

I hope theyre ok..... as i ordered a 6-24x50 a few days back..... if it ain't, not a big loss is it?? 35 quid

It'll just have to do till i can afford a new scope, but its got to be better then my 3-9x40 i currently use...

Although, i went to gunclub last wednesday and a lad down there had one and it looked good..... so we'll see when it comes

The optics are not the best, I have a genuine Tasco that I bought with my HW80 from Hull Cartridge Co. back in 1983, its about as good as that one.
You get what you pay for I suppose but when I complained to fleabay about counterfeit stuff being sold on their site, they turned a blind eye!
Seems this guy (and quite a few others in the far east) are high volume sellers and fleabay makes a lot of money from them.
Doesn't stop there either, almost everything that comes from the far east is a copy, or "replica" as they sometimes describe the stuff.
Buyers beware!

A genuine Tasco 2.5-10x42 milldot varmint can be had for £69 from JSR, so £32 for a 3-9x50 is not all that unrealistic, especially from an internet shop with no overheads etc

I've had the same experience, optics were clear, mil dot was accurate, and clicks were good, however they turned in the opposite direction to what the arrow said, for example when turning the turret to bring POI up, it would actually bring the POI down.

Again ya get what ya pay for!

Don't buy anything from China is a pretty good starting point. I'ts a b*tch but the saying 'you get what you pay for' is normally true, for me anyway lol.

In few years from now you won't be able to buy anything that isn't made in China

[Bellycrawler]

I'm chugging around on a Chinese copy of a Honda, third of the price so I can chuck it away when it starts to fall apart but I'll steer clear of wonky scopes.

They're designed for use in Australia...
