Thread: Cheap gear that surprises you

* 30mm rings with 30 MOA slop, $30, so far so good.
* ultra low and lightweight 11mm->20mm rail, $7. This thing allowed mounting of the above 30moa rings to an Anschutz, now I can reach to 250m. The alternative is to buy a one piece rail and drill holes and screw onto the Annie's receiver.

What about the 'scopes you imported and tried. Have they prevailed?
Im thinking that since you talked about them Chinese made 'scopes have made a big leap forward and US brands are having scopes made in China. . Worth another try? You, not me.
