Thread: Has anyone tried the cheap trademe scopes?

A spring piston air rife will shake cheap scopes to bits with the dual direction recoil impulse (ie rearwards and then forwards).
The forward motion is the one that most scopes are not engineered for.
Air rifle scopes are specifically engineered for this.

However the one in the link is a piece of crap. You may as well look through a coke bottle.
If you are determined to get crap, do as Steve said, just buy direct from Ali-Express and cut out the middle man.

Trademe is basically full of cheap/crap airsoft optics. Buyer be warned.
