Is this a good quality scope?

Hi,
Could anyone comment on the quality of this scope? http://www.tacticalgeardepot.com/product_info.php?currency=EUR&products_id=626
Thanks.

yea the that's the 552 i got from ebaybanned nothing ut good things to say about it. it's got a red/green crosshair, fully adjustable, very solid sight.

Be aware though i got an eotech 553 off of tactical gear depot a few weeks ago, it works fine and all but it comes with these clips for quick attachment/detachment to a rail and they are they are dangerously loose and poorly made. U shouldn't have any troubles with this 552 though!:)

Has anyone ever ordered from this site? Where is it based? HK? It says they have free worldwide delivery on their site. Is this real?

plastic_axe

i believe they're damn slow.
not ordered from them myself though.

yea they're iffy enough, they could have some connection to ebaybanned not sure. i ordered stuff of of em before xmas too about 3 weeks to ship, which wasn't too bad considering the time of year.

Also the red dot i got was faulty and the QD mount for the magnifier i got was just a standard mount, which is a pain. They do reply quick enough to emails and their english is very good so a decent enough site i guess!

I've bought quite a bit from tacticalgeardepot.com
Never had any problems; what so ever.
Post is not fast but you are kept informed of shipping and tracking details (well, I was anyway) and as Horse84 said: the communications are very good - not the usual engrish...:rolleyes:

No affiliation with ebaybanned afaik.

I bought the same 552 from them (before the price dropped) and it's spot on. Make sure and get the lens protector for it while you're at it.
Be prepared for quite a wait for shipping as it's Chinese New Year...

Buy in GBP£ for an extra couple % saving:)

I got a 553 off them a while back and its great. Also got an ACOG and ELCAN off them (amoungst lots of other stuff) and they're all top notch. Shipping is slow, usually 2 weeks after I order it I've got it. Communication is first class, not only is it propper english its also inteligent and Omix actually answers the question you ask if he can. They're a great retailer, nowhere near as bad as Paul and Jesse ^_^!

Like defenderdude no matter which EOtech you get remember to get a screen protector too (this) to protect the front lens.

So delivery is free then? So if i order a scope for 50, thats all thats charged and will be delivered ok?

Yep, that's it. Just note that the order wont be even looked at until after they return on the 2nd due to the New Year over there. So expect quite a bit of a wait - but imo it's usually worth it for the savings you can make.:):p

Best of luck;)

Is the 551 the same as the 552 only smaller? the 552 was out of stock so I bought the 551 and lens protector so I hope so.

Could be, I'm most likely wrong:P

But anyway the 551 takes less ordinary batteries
