If you use a scope, your perception of the piece of equipment is valid, especially to yourself.
Is it a requirement that we adopt the "Airgun World" or "Airgunner" method of reviewing kit
As for the correct use of grammer, should he perhaps have dictated his findings to someone to write for him That seems to work in the odd magazine too.

I had no problem in either reading or understanding the review. The barrel issue was unfortunate, but it was admitted and as stated, did not affect the optical quality. As it stands, that has not changed since the initial review.
So the fact that he slated the scope when the rifle was faulty is ok in your oppinion?
The fact that he did not have the knoledge to recognise this would then mean he does not have the ability to air his views and adversly affect the sales of a brand new product.
The fact is the Light-Stream is built to the same exacting standards as the top end scopes but is more than 30% less expensive than them BECAUSE it does not have the magic names engraved on it.
If you are going to put a review on here it would make sense if your other equipment was of a KNOWN high standard previously so that some sort of judgement could be made, not go off half cocked and then come back to try to put it right.
