Yup. Couldn't depend on them. We're back there again, with the amount of absolute junk from China. Might as well not have a scope. My grandfather ran a Savage 99EG, 300, with a Unertl 4x in a Jaeger side mount. Very good side mount. Flip a lever and push a button to unlock, and slide it off the dovetail. I don't think that Unertl ever went off zero at all.
