Replica Aimpoints and optics

[stator]

The Eotech laser LED component is made in China, and their 3X magnifier is made in China. Aimpoint is a Swedish company.

My clone point from 1337tactical is decent and don't really see a difference between it and the real aimpoint. The only thing is that the pin holding one of the lense cover fell out and i lost it (pin).

yea i ended up getting the SPOT for 120 from csgunworks

i was considering the burris xts-235 but it was getting discontinued.

the SPOT works great

Just go with a real high quality scope or iron sights. I played the game with replica/low quality scopes several times and now I wish I hadn't wasted my money.

$120? Wow, that's a great price!
Did you have to call to get that price?

While I agree 100% with Billy Ray here I would like to see all of us do the same thing with every Chinese product out there at wally world.

BUY AMERICAN PEOPLE.

Don't support a communist country with slave labor.

"Good" replica? BWAAAAAH!

Not only are you buying junk liable to drift or fail, you're helping assist illegal/immoral copyright and 'trade dress' violations by Red Chinese. You're also helping raise the price for the rest of us who buy legit products.

Vendors like Trijicon (ACOG), Aimpoint, EoTech and Leupold build good products with good support/warranties. The discount goons illegally copy the external appearance and then put in crap on on the inside.

The US quality scope companies also back our troops, shooters and the NRA. You think NcStar and other crapper companies (and their ultimate boss Hu Jintao) do that?

If you can't afford a legit copy right now, save your pennies, work a night shift, brew your own coffee in a mug instead of going to Starbucks (there's $2.50+ a day right there!) and eat a few TV dinners and weenie-beenie.

Yes, buy products made in America...

...by Mexican slave labor.

I'm sorry to confuse you when I said America I didn't mean the entire continent of north America I meant the US of A kind of America.

I am surprised by the amount of Anti-Chinese sentiment I keep seeing on this site....

Yes the product that come out of there are not the highest of qualities.... but not every one can justify spending the $$$$ on a high quality and more expensive scope... and if it suits there needs and they are happy with the product.... Then it is great for them! And .... if you like the one you get enough...... save up and buy yourself the real one.... You will be super happy over the improvements you get!

I always laugh at your posts. You are such a playa hater and I can tell you don't like anything of value. All these companies are goons like the rest of us. They are all trying to make a buck. Don't think they are here for us, they are here to make money.

The original poster was asking about the clonepoints, and where to buy one... not your idea of utopia is. Or how buying an clonepoint will ruin your utopia.

These people are blind to how much of all the goods they own are made overseas. Open up a computer and about 99% of the components in it are from overseas. I challenge any of these so called "pro" Americans to let me in their house, and inventory all their things. I'll bet $100 to anyone that I'll find at least 20 things in that house made in China.

Can't afford "optics"? USE IRON-SIGHT!!!!

+1 with bill...

hah! That's a joke. That's like saying "can't afford Nikes, then go barefoot"

People can, and should be able to buy whatever they want.

Now for those of you that want to know how the clonepoints work... I have to say for the price they kick ***! I have had mine for almost 2 years before I bought a real Aimpoint to replace it. I did not need the real Aimpoint, but what can you say, I am a the ultimate mall ninja and I like designer labels.

Can't even tell the difference:



For those of you who think I don't support the American Optic Companies, think again. I have a $1100 Leupold, a $800 ACOG, a $400 Aimpoint, and $350 Eotech. But I also like the vaule of things, such as my $230 DMS 1-4x optic, and my $70 Clonepoint. I have no problem using these when the SHTF. I am still using the clonepoint mount (came free with the clonepoint) because American Mounts cost like $150!
