Thread: Who is interested in a pass-around for a Chinese scope?

Some may remember when I posted this thread about a Chinese brand scope:

They got this higher spec-ed model which I was interested in:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/T-EA...848240560.html



This is a 2-16x44 scope, with 1 ED glass, pull and push lock turret, fancy reticle.

I managed to get a hold of the guy that is behind this product, and discussed with him the possibility of him sending over a sample for us Kiwis to try out. He is in principle agreeable. what he wants to get out of this is reviews and feedbacks, and if people like it, hopefully a sale or two.

So, I would like to know who may be keen. below are the rules that I have in mind for this possible pass-around:

1. I will be the organiser.
2. you will have to pay shipping to get the scope from me and returning it back to me.
3. you can have the scope two or maybe three weeks.
4. you can put it on any rifle below 300 win mag. I am not sure if this scope can handle that caliber. You can used it on as many rifles as you like during your two or three weeks. you can take it to hunting or target shooting. If the scope breaks from recoil (so long as it was less than 300 win mag), not your problem. if it survives one whole round of pass-around (as in everyone who wanted a go had a go), we can try it on larger calibres
5. you must write a review at the end of your pass around. tell us what gun did you use, what did you shoot, what testing (if any) did you do. what other scopes of yours did you compare it to and how did it compare.
6. you must deposit $410 dollars to my bank account before I send the scope to you. 10 dollars will be used for shipping, and when I receive the scope back I will refund you $400. so you must make sure you take reasonable care of it (because other people will have to use it after you).

I would like to know if there are enough people interested in this exercise to make it worthwell.

I will try to get a discount for the participants if anyone is interested in buying one in the end.

Any discussions about the proposed rules are welcome.
