Bestsight 5-15x50 FFP side focus with mounts $69.99 and free shipping on Aliexpr

The reply I got was the same as the one with the picture!      Not allot of help.


I replied to that one, if everything else is the same outside of the name on the scope and the box, to go ahead and send it.

I wonder if he ever had any of these scopes as I got the same email as the rest of you. I was leery of telling him to ship me the "BSA" scope just based on the picture as he does not have it on his site so I can't check out the specs. The picture also does not show any mounting rings. I looked it up on another vendors site and it looked the same as the original scope did but there is no guarantee that this is the scope he will send. I decided to ask for a refund if the original scope is indeed "out of stock".

I received one from him two weeks ago.  It was 100% as advertised.  I was so happy with it I ordered two more at the sale price.  Brand names mean almost nothing with Chinese products as they specialize in knockoffs, and copyright laws... well who knows.

I’d actually prefer the BSA label vs Bestsight.  Like Paul, will use the dispute process to resolve, if it is not the same.

Agreed!
I someone were to ask I would have no problem telling them the truth about it but no need to advertise.

I accepted the BSA branded scope.

As far as processing disputes with Ali-Express, good luck. Return tracked shipping to China is on you and I found it to be over $50, for a $58 item.

Ali-express is a one-way street proposition.

I got my shipping notice yesterday and didn’t get anything saying it was out of stock or would be a different “brand” Hopefully it comes as advertised. If not I’ll file a dispute with ALIEXPRESS and if that doesn’t work I’ll file a dispute with my cc company.

I would agree. You buy something from Ali-Express, good luck trying to return it. We will see if I get a response from old "Hunter Wang" regarding this scope. I asked him if he had actually shipped it yet since I was notified that he had and have a tracking number.

I received notice mine had shipped 2 days ago, but when I check the shipping it says no info available, so I doubt anything actually left their facility.  They probably printed the shipping labels and then discovered they didn't have anymore, so they had to run down the street and grab a bunch of the BSA scopes from Chang!

Their shipping notifications are not quite in real time as we know it, They have some sort of two level shipping/exporting system so even if it has left the seller that does not mean it is actually en route ie leaving the country yet.  As I understand it!!!
In my experience when tracking an order from China not a lot of useful info if any shows up for a week or so.  I would not assume anything from tracking this early in the process.

LOL!  When dealing with Chinese shipments, I don’t assume anything until it’s sitting on my doorstep!!!

Anyone see any updates from seller?

Nothing in my messages.  There is a China tracking code assigned.  No status yet.   Some gauges I ordered a day or so after the scope, already have some tracking info of leaving the sorting center.

Same here, a couple gauges and a couple targets osrdered after the scope are showing signs of movement. The scope just has a tracking number assigned, the same number that was assigned prior to the order being changed to the BSA Scope.  No communication since he asked if he could substitute the BSA for the Bestsight either. Not looking too promising!

Oh man, I did not order any gauges after the scopes.   What did i miss???

Not much, I ordered a couple gauges to use on the Huma QuickFill that had the defective gauge so I can use it while Huma researches and sources a better gauge. I have on in my .22 Mrod and it works great, but apparently they got a bad batch of gauges and when I ordered one for my .25 Mrod, I got one of the bad ones. Both are regulated, so it’s nice to know what the actual fill pressure is!

Just a quick fyi on the BSA scopes.  I have 2 4-14x44.  One was bought from Midway when they were on sale and the other was from Aliexpress. They look very similar on the outside but the Midway one has BSA and the scope specs stamped into the bell while the knockoff is painted on. The reticles are also of different sizes and scale differently. The knockoff may not be true mil. Just a heads up.

THX for the info.

I just got some 1" 30mpa gauges with M10 fitting on them.  I suspect, the M10 is what is on the Liberty.  I'll let you know if they fit, once they arrive.

Old Hunter did respond back to me yesterday telling me he had not shipped yet. He said the BSA was identical to the Bestsight and claimed he would ship immediately if the BSA scope was acceptable. If I wanted to wait for the Bestsight, it would be a week or so before he could ship. I told him to go ahead and ship the BSA branded scope. One thing that bothered me was that I could not find a 5-15x50 BSA scope available anywhere else except on Ali-Express. Nothing from a US seller which leads me to believe it can't even be a BSA copy. Looks like they are just trying to use the BSA name for its reputation/popularity. Hopefully, it doesn't fall apart once we get them. Only time will tell. At least it's not that expensive.
