    Hahahaha! For £62 brand new?
    I replied to someone the other day who was asking about 'Leupold clones' and the sum of it was:
    If it's one of the main forerunners of optic technology and it's under £500, be wary.
    If it has blue or green illumination, start walking away.
    If it has an inverted ladder reticle, run away.
    If it comes with 'flee mounting system for similar airgun or full bore pikitineey rail will fit both types most beautifully', just point and laugh.
    Put on heading 270, assume attack formation

    To be fair most of the budget scopes are manufactured by the smae factories in China. The difference of buying one a well known budget badge and one these fake badges is that if faulty you will have no protection. As for Carl Zeiss or Lupold fakes, they are just fakes nothing more or nothing less .

    Spot on Craig, add a one and a zero to that would be closer.
