I am not a sniper,or commando or a self proclaimed arm chair know it all, just a regular outdoorsman who loves to shoot!! In defense of jrka and eagle eye optics i can say i purchased a-2x4x28 tactical scope from them years ago and the scope has se rved me just fine ! It has sat on my atv for ithe last 5,500 miles and holds a zero just as well now as when i first puchased it!! I would definately buy another..

That means you chanced on a good one. Hold onto it because you are unlikely to ever luck out on another one. ILya

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. |

This is pretty funny, but there's an older Eagle Eye Optics thread that was EPIC! We had a little bit of everything in that one!
It was a real knee slapper....

There is a guy that sells Eagle Eye stuff at all the local gunshows in south Al and Ms. I;ve looked at them several times and come to the same conclusion - junk.
They are not clear, and you can test by asking to compare one with a Nikon or Leupy someone else has for sale. If you compare, you can also tell the zoom factor is not on equal ground as well. I don't know about the longevity, it doesn't matter at this point to me.

These optics aren't junk and function very well within their respective price point. I have one of their scopes on a 300 Win Mag. The optic has kept its zero without any issue and their customer support is outstanding. I am a competitive shooter and on my competition rifles I use a Schmidt and Bender PMII for precision rifle competition and March Optics for service rifle competition. You CANNOT fairly compare an IJK optics scope to either a S&B or a March Optics service rifle scope. There are literally thousands of dollars in price difference. If you are looking for a good scope that won't break the bank, IJK would be a great brand to consider. I've looked through just about every major high end scope on the market (Vortex, Leupold, Bushnell, S&B, Nightforce, US Optics, and March). It isn't fair to compare them to the high end price point, but if you compare IJK to a vortex or bushnell in the same class/price point, I'm confident the IJK would perform as good if not better. I recommend giving IJK a shot. Just my opinion.

It has been my experience with optics... Especially within the rifle scope area of the scientific discipline, that one gets (usually) what one pays for. In cheaper scopes you either give up glass or coatings quality for dependability, or you give up dependability for glass or coatings quality. Some inexpensive options are definitely out there, but not at bargain basement price points.

Somebody decided to resurrect an old thread, not you Cyborg. After reading this thread I had to go check out their website. I am definitely sold, buy a scope and a hand painted glass dragon at the same time. Think I will stick with a known brand.

So, just an FYI, I picked up their 1-5x24 illuminated 30mm at a gun show because I got a good deal. For $160 bucks I figured why not try. I have had great accuracy with my IJK optic. We are placing quarter size shot groups at 300 yards seated with a bipod. The down side of the optical is the weight. It is somewhat heavy. Besides that I actually love it. I know people like to trash things they don't know that don't have brand names. My expectation was low and I have no horse in this race. I just figured I would post since I was tooling around looking for a laser sight for my 45. Hope this helps.

Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Newbie here. This has been an interesting read.
After a 15 year dry spell, Santa Rosa, CA had a gun show in August. IJK was the optics seller, and I was looking for an optic for my Mini 14. Picked up a Mil-Dot 1-5x42 to replace a 1-4x42 FireField POS I had purchased at Sportsman's Warehouse that was built like a tank, but the glass was fish eyed. The IJK glass is clean, clear, holds zero, and it is considerably lighter than the FireField. It does exactly what I expected it to do. That scope helped me develop an MOA hand load out of that Mini 14 with Varget and a 52 gr Sierra Match King HPBT. Is it a Zeiss or even Leupold competitor? Pffffff. No. Is it a match for an equivalent Bushnell, Simmons, Deerfield? I think so, and I have one of all of those. Will it hold up? Time will tell. Would I buy another one? Yup. |
