I understand that everyone isn't an expert, and sometimes you just want a simple answer to a rather simple question.
Then I find things like this and my head spins. For the uninitiated, nothing in that review is useful, almost nothing is accurate, I've read Onion articles that got more right. In this, always be mindful that some people know nothing, but freely offer that nothing as something. Some even seem to be proud of the nothing. The internet is awesome. |

I once read a book called "I Don't Have Enough Faith... to be an Athiest".
I was reminded of that book when reading the article... which I will freely admit, I did not read all of. I got the gist pretty quickly. My only remaining comment is that J.P. Barnum was absolutely correct...

When you are dead, you don't know you are dead.It is difficult only for others.
It is the same when you are stupid. |

You guys are being a bit harsh and elitist.
My favourite has to be the Pinty 6x24x50 AOEG. Very affordable for weekend snipers like me on a limited budget. Rated number 6 out of 6 but still 4 out of 5 stars and this is on the best of the best so not too shabby. Only downside noted was, โ this is a very delicate scope. After a series of shots, the crosshair may become crooked and hence unstable. This might make it hard to respond to the knobs and also hold Zero.โ Whatโs not to like! Got mine ordered. |

Yep that is exactly what it is. Those types of reviews are getting very plentiful on everything you can think of. They get a little kickback for each click from their website. So they will often just put scopes in their reviews that are sold by Amazon regardless of where they really rank in the scope world.

Yea, I was hesitant to link to it for just that reason; but it all came down the question of the greater good.

Wow, that "article" is weapons-grade stupidity! It doesn't even rise to the level of "worthless!"
