Counter Sniper gunsight worthwhile?

It's a piece of crap.

Given the high price of the scope, I really hope you got a good one. Seems like there's lots of lemons out there.

Overrun, $250. Image is noticeably brighter than with the naked eye at night.

Overrun from what?

You must be lucky. As I stated earlier in this necropost, my friend owns a Countersniper mounted on a Savage 10. All of his optics on every rifle he owns are junk, but he decided to pony up some big money for a scope, and ended up with his China-made Countersniper.

Maybe your scope holds zero, but his Countersniper is absolute garbage. At high magnification, the image is dark (but better than his Barska, I'll give you that.) The turrets are terrible. They are flimsy with lots of hysteresis--worse than my $110 Mueller scope. I don't know how much ammo he's wasted trying to zero that thing.The worst part is, the adjustments are not accurate or predictable, and once you think you've zeroed the scope to the rifle, it shifts. Mediocre optics notwithstanding, the mechanical problems make it a no-go. His example convinces me that people singing the praises of Countersniper are either paid by the company to provide misinformation on forums and dealer sites like Midway, or they are unfortunate owners who haven't actually tried to zero the scope or shoot a group with it.

Given the high price of the scope, I really hope you got a good one. Seems like there's lots of lemons out there.

He's probably planning on selling his

Do a search on the www.snipershide.com optics subforum about these; it's pretty funny.
