Need a cheap scope

[sigstroker]

It's a gunsmithing school. This is for the scope mounting class.

Ha! I guessed it. Do I win a cookie?

I would contact some of the cheaper big scope manufacturers directly. I'm sure they have big bins of defective scopes that they can't repair that are headed to the dump. They'd probably donate those trashed scopes to the school for free.

They probably want the students to mount them correctly, as in not honking on the ring caps with 200 ft lb of torque and crushing the insides. It would be easier to tell if they did it right if the scopes worked.

I'm looking for 300 scopes for a customer. I need brands that are known for cheap scopes who has one with a 30MM Tube.

Any help would be appreciated.

Brands I know of:

Aim Sports
NcStar
Presma
Monstrum

If you want the least amount of name recognition possible, those bottom two, I've never heard of until now. AIM, NcStar and Simmons are all pretty well known.

Yes you do. But, you have to get it away from this guy.

I would still contact the companies directly. Either they'll offer something for free, or substantially discounted. Especially in those quantities and for a school.

I'd like to thank ALL who have commented here. they were all very helpful. I was able to find 250 scopes from 2 different companies. My client is very happy as this number will get them out of a BIG jam.

Nice. Hopefully it gets more qualified smiths in the world, and soon!

They don't offer CHEAP scopes. 300 is the quantity, not the price point.

Yeah, they need to be 30mm scopes.
It's all about the training and my client does already have the rings.

What kind of training requires 30mm scopes that probably won't actually be fired?
You could probably get a really simple injection mold made and have a scope shaped blob of black plastic for much less than the cost of an actual scope if you are doing 2100 units a year.

I have no idea.

Mine is not to wonder why.

Mine is to provide my customers with the best customer service that I can. The company I used to work for screwed the pouch and put them in a jam.

They had paid retail for about 45 scopes from different companies on Amazon. They were completely excited to hear that in less than 24 hours I was able to secure them 250 scopes for less than they paid on Amazon.

Things are looking good for me and not too good for my old company. [emoji6]
