Does anybody have any experience with these? I've gotten mixed reviews.

They're not as cheap as they seem. Add what they cost to the price of the replacement, quality, scope you will inevitably buy when calculating how much you think they cost. A good used Leupold or steel tubed Weaver can be had for less than $100.

Do yourself a favor and just say no to these junk scopes. I don't think they are okay for anything.

They make BSAs look pretty good-- and that is hard to do. Better stay away.

They tend to import low end stuff. I was browsing through their catalogue. There are 5 pages devoted to $10'ish 8x21 or 10x25 single-coated compact binoculars.

A year or so ago a friend of mine handed me one of these scopes and wanted me to try it out for a couple months, he had the opportunity to pick up a distributership on them.
Two days later I gave it back to him, I told him this is the worst scope EVER!!!!

I'll take Nikons,look at the team primos..200 bucks.. great scope///
your money, you spend it how you see fit and what your wallet says you can buy,,

You can shoot better without the scope.

It's wheel "chocks" BTW  And do you really think the turrets or tube would hold up to such pressure? I wouldn't trust my boat on them!
