So I ran across this scope while looking for new boots (go figure).
SonickingTactical 3-9x40 AO Riflescope Duplex Reticle Hunting Gun Scope with 20mm Mounts https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073CS42W5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_MckKBbH9FP266
I simply couldn't miss the chance to see how, what has to be the cheapest full size scope Ive ever seen, actually worked.
So ordered it Saturday, and amazingly, picked it up yesterday.
The box it comes in is generic, and has lots of miss information (it says lited reticle, and 6x zoom for instance). There's no padding, and it's lightly constructed.
The scope came with the regular add on for a cheap scope; Rings, cloth, generic manual, Allen wrenches for rings.
The scope itself feels pretty solid, tho not heavy. Same as you'd expect for an average 3-9x40.
All the functions ran smoothly, occular focused fine. Objective focus is surprisingly accurate when adjusted to my eyes and refrenced against my rf.
Power ring, and adjustments ran fine.
I shook it hard to see if I could hear any loose pieces, no rattles.
Optically I'm really surprised with how well this thing actually does.
It's got a yellowish tint, and isn't as bright as my other scopes at 9x, but is reasonably clear edge to edge.... surprisingly so infact.
The eye relief is very average, and the eye box is kinda small, but completely useable. It's actually better than the much more expensive (but still not EXPENSIVE) scope I had on my 6x47.
I'm now contemplating what rifle to attach it to for testing. Right now I've got my 6x47 scope less, and I'll be scoping my SKS.
So those two will be my first options.
I'm tempted to put it straight on the SKS, as I'm pretty sure that gun will be rougher on scopes than most of my others, but I'm not exactly sure how well that gun shoots since it's never been scoped.
My 6x47 is plenty accurate enough to display any consistency issues in the scope, but won't stress it much at all.
Which gun do you guys think I should try it on?
How long do you think it will last?
The pictures thru the scope arnt as good as it actually looks clarity wise, but you can see the yellow tint, and that it isn't horribly bright (but still very useable) .
