Waste of money.

Four weeks ago I purchased a new Tasco 3X9x40 scope from Ebay it took a couple of weeks to arrive from china, I was pleased with the overall finish and fitted it to the rifle and set up a target at 15 yards in the garden and proceeded to sight it in a After about 10 shots I realised the L2R turret was not moving.WTF? anyway I contacted the seller and I was advised to retun the scope and they would replace it. I checked with the local Post Office and realised to do so would make the total price I would be paying excessive for such a scope

thats the last scope I will order from China, "Once bitten twice shy!"

:laugh: Buy British

[Tron 173]

Problem is there is no british made scopes! all the best Jap scopes IE Tasco, Bushmaster, Rhino, Bsa, Etc, are now inferior made copies.

 

to buy the same scopes from British shops you are paying way over the odds for the same product ! OK you could probally get a exchange

 

but the Chinese made scopes are- CRAP.

american,german or austrian i know they seem expensive but they are far superior to the chinese rubish and most come with a lifetime quarentee. if you buy the one thats right for you you will never need to buy again. so in the end there not expensive. a leopold v1 is only about £300 ish new.

[mikemjm 6]

Request that the seller pays your postage fees and if not open a paypal dispute including this info. Best of luck, mike

Never had a problem with any of my Hawke Scopes, very well made, accurate and do what they are supposed to. If you shop around in the UK, you can find them cheaply, new and with warranty!

hi Tron

some lads on here have used Tasco scopes,not sure if they were imported from china.

but they speak very highly of them!

 

you need to contact seller and get them to pay for return P&P,open a dispute with them on ebay.and if you paid by pay pal you can retract your money by request!!

 

don't bend over and take this ,stand your ground!! you have rights as a consumer

 

this type of thing boils my blood

 

hope you get it sorted !!

 

PS. if you open a dispute or tell them you will leave negative feedback,its not worth there sales loosing percentage!as many buyers only go with 100% sellers,this will damage there sales.no one like to deal with some one who has 97% well i certainly don't!

 

regards

The scope broke on my Air arms and i bought a hawke scope off the bay as a replacement and i was really happy with it i bought another one to put on the other air rifle .But you have to watch There where a few from china etc where you had to bid now and 6-8 days delivery,But there was also a buy now at £45 with delivery 2-3 days these ones worked out cheaper in the long run and can from debens on line company

I am great believer in you only get what you pay for

[spot.me.in.the.dark 5]

i have a niko sterling 3-9x50 cant grumble ok it cost just under 60 queen sheets but i do agree on keeping the local gun dealer in buisness

 

if we all buy chinese then the gun shops will go bust and when we run out of pelets on a saturday morning then who are we to turn to .... keep it british and keep it local guys !!

Thanks Davy, I got on to Ebay and they said I should have complained by the 11th of November to complain? it took 2 weeks to arive!.

 

no matter they said I should complain to the seller??? what? again. on arirvall I complained it was duff and was told to return it and it would

 

be replaced! no mention of postage being reimbursed! I will give them a couple of days to respond before I blow the whistle on the? ~+)*^%&$

i buy a lot of stuff on ebay but all ways click the tab on the left "uk only" but stuff that is fragile i.e scopes, tvs, or stuff that is really expensive i buy from reputable shops with there own websites and decent returns policy. hope you get sorted its a gutter gettin ripped off.

[Marksman 934]

I must be the exception to the rule then...

 

I bought a cheap Tasco 3-9x50AO IR off ebay(£24.99) when Zini, wor kid and eveyone else had them and to be honest it's never let me down yet!

It's sitting in the cupboard as a spare just in case but I can put it on the rifle and can guarantee it's zeroed within a couple of clicks either way if that!, the optics are crystal clear, it doesnt fog up and the midots are as accurate as they come

 

It's much the same with my cheap ebay bipods.....
