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

[Rat Sniper (AKA: PaulT58)]

I'm betting they are all the same scope, just different markings.  A little Goo Gone to the markings and you'd probably never be able to tell one from the other!

I am pretty sure you are 100% correct on that.

Anyone see any updates from seller?

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.

Don't worry I just received the Hawke knock off scope from Aliexpress about 10 days ago, it is good quality I put it on my Flash Pup and works fine even at highest magnification the picture is acceptable for hunting, the turrets are very sturdy and reliable when you turn,  the POI will move accordingly, took me only 5 shots to zero at 20 yards.

Best regard

I got almost the same thing.  Good thing too because i ordered a no warranty Nova Freedom yesterday.

FWIW: AliExpress still shows the scope is in China, but just got a hit from USPS, and should have it, tomorrow.  It came in from the NY ISC, as it should.  The gauges, however, came it via LA CA ISC, and will be here on Saturday.

Yep, mine is supposed to be delivered on Friday.  Tracking shows it arrived in NY on the 8th and hasn't left yet!  With the storm that's headed across the northern half of the country, I suspect a lot of stuff I have on order will be delayed due to weather...

[superchikn]

One of mine should arrive tomorrow,  My Nova Freedom is coming tomorrow too, although not from the same source.

[superchikn]

Mine showed up today.  Identical to the first one I received except for the name on it.  The box says BSA but shows a very different scope,  I was worried until I opened it. 
I have one more in transit though.

[Rat Sniper (AKA: PaulT58)]

Well, mine just checked through the Metro NY Distribution Center and is on its way.  I somehow doubt it will be delivered tomorrow...  My FX is supposed to be delivered on Monday, with any luck, they will both arrive on the same day.  I already have the tall rings, so I should be able to get it all together and sited in within a day of arrival!

[superchikn]

i hope so.  it does come with rings though.

[FuzzyGrub]

Mine arrived today.  It survived the voyage fine, even though the box took some abuse.  I haven't mounted it to a gun yet, but optics seem good for low price point.  Not sure I will get use to this reticle, especially w/FFP on low power.  We'll see.

Well, my scope never left China and never showed up under the tracking number listed. Hunter told me to be patient but he finally told me (after I complained again) that it was lost in China Post somewhere. He is sending out another one and extended the buyer protection another 30 days. I suppose this means I won't see anything before June now.  If I don't see any tracking movement soon, I will just request a refund. This is my first experience with something from AliExpress not showing up at all. I have had stuff show up late but not just disappearing.

[superchikn]

I have one more on the way.  not sure why it did not ship with the second one but I am sure it will show up.
So far all of my experiences with Aliexpress have been good.  Even had a bottle regulator replaced free because it was blowing burst discs.
I hope you get yours soon.  It really is a very nice scope for the price.

I received mine, I like it but I can't get the crosshairs in focus if I zoom past 10X.  Not sure why, other than the adjustment on the eyepiece won't screw out far enough.  It may joy be my eyes, but if I go full zoom and adjust focus on the target, I can't see the crosshairs!

I am having the same exact experience as you.

[nervoustrigger]

Same for me too.

Mine arrived 11 days ago and focuses/zooms well.

Only issue is reticle illumination is only a single center point so no holding over in low light, may be an advantage for videoing night work...

That's also what I thought when I first looked at it in the daytime.  Turns out the remainder of the reticle has a subtle backglow that is absolutely fantastic for nighttime use.  Whereas most illuminated scopes I've used at night will totally wash out even on the lowest setting.  The illumination on this one is my favorite thus far.

Agreed.  I do not use the IR on any of my other scopes but these are really nice.
I too wish I had just a bit more adjustment for eye relief.  My second was a little better than the first, and the first is very usable.
