Thread: T-eagle Scopes - Now Available for Pass-around

Back in April I posted a thread saying that I may be able to secure a scope for people to test/play/try out/fiddle with.

Several people have been supportive of the idea. Thank you all. At least one person was keen to have a go, Thank you Savage1.

I showed the owner of T-eagle, Mr Yang, our thread. I am not sure how much of it he understood but he was cool enough to send over, not one, but two scopes!

After a 6 week long journey at the sea, they have finally arrived at my office this week.

Without further ado, I introduce you:

IMAX 2-16 and Viper 5-20 FFP

The IMAX 2-16 is what I asked Mr Yang to send over. it is a 8x zoom scope using one ED glass.

The packaging is top class, nice cut out form that securely holds everything, the box and lay out is better than the other scopes I have owned.



Inside the package you have the scope, 2 x aluminium caps with magnetic lock, a huge piece of leaning cloth, sun shade and an allen key.



The scope itself is hefty (which I already knew reading the specs). Fit and Finish appear to be decent enough mid-class. knobs are sturdy and the click is audible.



It is cloudy today so I will be doing outdoor testing another time. Here is what I find:

1. the glass quality appears to be very good.
2. the reticle is very fancy, which I already knew, but seeing it in real life is still a bit of wow for me.
3. the turrets are push and pull type, which I already knew and that was nice enough. Unfortunately there is no revolution marking, so you do not know how many revolutions you have moved though unless you are counting it yourself.

Mr Yang has also sent me 2 x one piece ring set. the Viper FF weighs 992g with the rings and caps, the IMAX 2-16 weighs 982g with the rings and caps.

I will be updating this thread once I have done further testings. I am planning on doing 2 technical tests, fist will be to compare the image quality to a VX3 6-20, I will be taking through-the-lens photos so you guys can see the result. the second will be a tracking test, which I have explained here.


Mr Yang tells me that the Viper 5-20 FFP is a prototype. So for now I cannot send this out. The packaging is, again, top class.

Inside the package we got the scope, 2 x aluminium caps with magnetic lock sporting a snake emblem , a huge piece of leaning cloth, sun shade and a zoom lever.




This scope is significantly longer than the 2-16, but not much heaiver. It has 4x more power, but only 4x zoom range.




This scope is First Focal Plane, I have in the past played around with Vortex Viper 4 x 16 FFP but never owned or used one in the field. it will be interesting to play with this scope. The build of this scope is very similar to the IMAX 2-16.

If you are interested in having a play with The IMAX 2-16, please read the rules first and then talk to me.
