Thread: Has anyone tried the cheap trademe scopes?

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.

Add the horizontal / vertical vibrations of the main piston spring. Either way, a multidirectional stress on a acope. Aquality springer air rifle scope and a quality centrefire scope are not necessarily interchangeable. Definitely do not put a cheap scope on a apringer air rifle.
