Anyone know anything about OPTIMUS Scopes? The one below sounds ideal for what I want but not sure if they are junk or not.

Another Chinese-made product that has been "OEM'd" to this Optimus place. Could be bad, could be anything. I suspect that if the seller doesn't start selling them like hotcakes, once the marine container is empty of everything they ordered, the entire 'line' will die.

I think I’ll get one and give it a try, all I need is something to replace a red dot on my SA80/QB. When shooting out to 25m the dot is about 1” dia and I would like something a bit more accurate with a bit of magnification, and this scope fit’s the bill. So we will see what good it is. Neutral

I think your right Eric when the container is empty Optimus ceases to trade. Laughing

I just noticed that the scope I was going to get has built in mounts which is not what I wanted, so I have now ordered a slightly different scope which I think is better, It still carries the OPTIMUS logo so we shall see?

Ordered the new scope on Thursday and it arrived to-day Saturday, very quick service. I was quite surprised with the quality for a cheap scope, it is heavier than some full sized scopes, but there again it is well made using aircraft grade aluminium with brass turrets and caps. On top of that all the paper work supplied with it says “Made in China for www.Leapers.com”.

In use it has very clear and sharp optics with a Mil-dot recital plus red or green illumination, the recital is a bit thicker than normal but no problem. I have put about 100 shots through it so far and it retains zero perfectly the turrets are stiff but accurate with a positive click, it does come with weaver rail mounts but you can use any mounts as the tube is 1” dia, plus you get a sunshade and flip up covers.

So far it has exceeded my expectations and I am very happy with it, just what I wanted to finish off my SA80/QB

Wow Al! That scope looks great. I like it more than the first one you picked. It really sets the gun off. Time for a new photoshoot!
