Can you try out the Sun optics 2.5-20x scope? Its glass etched and fairly cheap. Sun optics makes their scopes same place as some of the Vortex scopes and same warranty basically. I think that many of the Vortex scopes are not as good as the hype, but the Sun optics for the money dont look bad. I know a local gunshop for fun stuck one of the sun optics, i think rimfire scope on 50 cal BMG bolt action, and they havent had it break yet. The fact they offer glass eteched reticles now is pretty nice. www.opticsplanet.com/sun-optics-1-2-5x20-bdc-5-eye-relief-shotgun-scope.html

[@WineScrounger]

For a real test, stick it on a high power* spring airgun. The recoil isn’t huge but the shock of the piston stopping at the end will bugger up a scope pretty quickly if it isn’t well built. I’m honestly not surprised by a wee rimfire scope surviving onboard a .50 BMG. It’s a heavy rifle so despite the huge energy release the acceleration might not be too high, and it’s acceleration that the scope will feel, not the overall recoil energy. If you can find a quick and dirty accelerometer you can get a better idea of this and I bet you’ll see higher figures from things like no.5 jungle carbines - big rounds in small guns. *yeah I know, it’s all relative 😆

[@Baltic_Hammer6162]

I tried a brand new Simmons 4x on an 870 with regular 7/8 oz slugs. By shot 3 there were flecks of something floating inside and a tinking sound inside. By shot 5 it was all over!! The fact this fake ACOG made it that far is impressive.

A lot of these Chinese optics are operational grade since the only reason they market it as airsoft scope is because due to BS sanctions have led manufactures to market products they had plan to make for shooting sports to be labeled as a toy. Kinda along the same lines as why we can't buy anything norinco that's not already here.

[@caseymoyes6309]

Christos1680 After buying one of these from a Chinese wholesaler, it looks legit. The glass is incredibly clear and apparently coated with very nice anti-reflctive coating. It is built exactly replicating the trijicon acog. The only difference I've seen is that the aperture is a bit smaller, allowing less light transmission and no tritium. I haven't used it yet.

[@jonathanbrocklehurst6724]

A good method of sighting of scopes is to take 2 shots with the same point of aim to ensure that the ammo is grouping well then have one person hold the firearm and hold the point of aim while another person moves the crosshairs to the point of impact. Seeing the direction you have to move the turrets make note for final adjustments.

The worst recoil starts at the beginning of the moving of the bullet. But muzzle brake starts to act when bullet leaves the muzzle. So, technically for optics muzzle brake does matter only because it is increasing the weapon's mass.

The biggest issue with the clones is the light capture in the optic, bright/white background tends to wash out and "loose the dot" if yur in the shade and the dot size tends to be large for pin pointing at distance. Depends on the clone and all but just beware. If you can live with that then your good because they do have a rep for holding zero. Worth 75-100 bucks, for sure.

[@jeo228]

People like to bash airsoft gear because they think its cheap toy trash, but a lot of airsoft gear is of similar build quality of real steel counterparts, but cheaper due to the dramatic pricing differences of the markets. Gun owners are willing to drop 10x the amount of money on something than even a hardcore milsim airsoft player will. My Marine brother would ask me to send him shit from our local airsoft store because it was way cheaper to buy the same stuff from his local gun shop. (obviously this is reference to higher end airsoft gear, walmart crap is walmart crap) My airsoft plate carrier was half the cost on a traditional plate carrier and the only difference was the company who made them. Mine still holds real plates just fine, and after being dragged through sand, dirt, mud and gravel is still in decent shape. P.S. Airsoft doesnt always mean "cheap chinese clone". lots of american companies make high quality milsim spec airsoft scopes in the 200-300 dollar range. Aint nobody got money for an "authentic" acog

[@taofledermaus]

I think they are just marketing towards airsofters for some reason. But the scope is designed for 5.56 from what I read.

[@erict3728]

My opinion, after using sites like Amazon and eBay during these recent contentious and partisan times, is that they are labeling things as airsoft solely to bypass the firearms restrictions of these sites. I buy a lot of stuff off of Amazon for my PCP habit (airguns, lol). I've tried lots of the accessories on my actual firearms and I've seen no difference. In fact, lots of the stuff that is marketed as airsoft and pellet gun accessories aren't even compatible with the airsoft/pellet rifles... At one time, there were "airsoft glock replica" switches on amazon that were quite obviously intended for converting over to full auto. I don't have an airsoft glock, but I'm pretty sure they don't have the type of sear/disconnect those were intended to manipulate. Also the scopes, there were lots of them labeled for airsoft/pellet rifles that were not designed to handle the recoil effect of most spring/piston operated pellet rifles, they were just plain, standard rifle scopes that would have been torn to pieces on a pellet rifle. As this is like 5 years later, you may have realized the same thing,. I just wanted to share what I've learned about these things. I am pretty sure the airsoft label means nothing, it is only there to bypass the restrictions of selling firearm components on these very liberal platforms. Sorry for the novel

[@taofledermaus]

thanks!

[@iota-09]

well, it's like there's only clone, there's multiple clones, chinese and not, i guess the ones in 100-200 dollar range should be almost on par, given how trijicon is also a brand name so they may tend to inflate the price like apple does.

[@frigglebiscuit7484]

another difference is the fact that most americans arent going to spent $1k on a scope.....

[@houseofflambeau9656]

I like that you don’t just talk shit on the thing the whole time like everyone else. Thanks for the video.

[@dutchsailor6620]

The channels talking trash about these optics are probably pi***d off because they realized that they payed $1500 more for the real deal that maybe offers about $50 added value.

[@OOTurok]

BANG... uh. BANG... ooff. BANG... ugh. BAND... doh.

[@jesusyeshuaelelyonelshadai6295]

You can adjust brightness by putting tape over half of that clear tube on top

[@derKarl_stp]

seems there is a Turn Wright Machine Shop Fan on the range ;-) I know that sticker from Keith Fenner :P and the hat ^_^

[@GiveAcademy]

Jeff... why no amazon affiliate link for this scope? Was going to use it... but its not there!!!

[@immichaelyeh]

I was shooting my air rifle in my backyard today with my friend, and the scope could not hold a zero!

[@justonk4515]

MY2KSapphire what kind of scope was it

[@immichaelyeh]

A scope the came with the rifle. I returned it once because I couldn't adjust the scope, then I got another one and the scope still sucks, so I guess I have to buy a different scope

[@gabewright2690]

The bad part is a $50 airgun scope will survive a break barrel airgun but some expensive $1500+ rifle scopes will not survive an airgun because the recoil on spring powered airguns have recoil in both directions but a standard firearm only really has recoil to the rear but there are several firearms that are scope killers.

[@taofledermaus]

Yeah, those combo deals never work out well!

[@LinkHyrule03]

Yeah, air guns are notoriously harsh on scopes. You really have to spend decent money to get a scope from a good optics company that is specifically noted to be suitable for use on an air gun. The recoil impulse is completely different from that of a normal firearm.

[@user-ew7nz3yw2i]

As i gaze upon the Taofleder Maus glory, in youtube form, i lay in wait, for my precious getto-slo-mo reenact COMMENTARY. Its gold i tell you,....gold !

[@johnsnader2676]

To “adjust brightness” use electric tape

[@sirmykal9764]

I have one of these. No problems yet on my AR15. Considering getting the 5 x 35 version.

[@unluckyeddy7966]

So it's been 2 months how well has it held up

[@thefbiiswatching9251]

So it’s been 1 month how well has it held up?

[@James-zq7md]

I dont know if this is answered. Right should be to the side it is printed on like reading it. Most sights only put an arrow if it goes counter clock wise. All military weapons I delt with had arrows. Or left and right letters

Hi, my names Danny. And welcome to Turn Wright machine works.

[@mre.w.2850]

We actually saw the jeff taking a couple of sneaky shots lol, awesome video guys suprised how well its built for that price tbh

[@Ultimate-Revolt]

Now ready to buy it from aliexpress

[@ghostgunner4494]

Lol do they actually have it there

[@taofledermaus]

That website has some wacky stuff. When I am on C&Rsenal's Mumble server, we all search for the weirdest stuff on that site. I don't trust it enough to buy from there though.

[@ghostgunner4494]

And the shipping takes almost a month

[@Cregavitch]

TAOFLEDERMAUS it's fine to buy from it, but it's a Chinese site and they use cheap shipping so it takes ages to get to you

[@hanswurst8682]

TAOFLEDERMAUS You can trust them, no problem. The only downside is that shipping will take weeks, sometimes even months.

[@zj123able]

Do we have an update on the $75.00 optic? I bought one for my CZ scorpion 3 years ago and works like a charm. I might put it on the KSG for fun...

[@nymeriagloves3957]

Curious if atleast the manual shows which way to turn the adjustment knobs?

[@taofledermaus]

No, it just shows pictures of the different models and points out the eyepiece, objective lens, etc.

[@Jamal_Tyrone]

Was there any logic to it, like clock-wise went right and anti-clockwise went left? I bought a £15 Chinese red-dot for my air pistol and it's a piece of crap.

[@MyLonewolf25]

Jamal Tyrone get the field sport micro red dot It's great for 20 bucks

[@hiseminencetheholymacdiarmada]

1:07... WAS waterproof, lol. I've seen a lot of these 'ACOG' s around and always wondered what exactly the difference was between these cheap-o scopes and the real deal. Good video!

[@SteveSummers]

Love the Turn Wright Machine Works hat and sticker, I also have a channel where I do machining, I love to watch Keith. and I love TAOFLEDERMAUS

Danny AKA Triker Red Thanks for taking the time to help make these Danny.

[@travisp11]

I have a fake Bushnell red dot that I bought on wish.com for $15 ($20 delivered) and it has held up just fine on four different rifles. I generally run better optics on my rifls but I had to try this.

[@go7cha459]

Thank you for the videos! I love getting off work and checking my phone to see a new vid from you guys! Keep up the good work!

[@taofledermaus]

thank you very much!

[@douglasgault5458]

For sighting in I'm partial to my Leadsled. After locking the scope on the target its a 1 shot zero. Take your shot and adjust cross hairs to the paper punch. Zeroed.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Very interesting indeed :)

thanks Lars!

For anyone looking to buy the "Acog" I own one and it's on my M&P ar15. We've put around 150-200 rounds through it and I've been able to stack rounds with it at 50 yards and id happily shoot it further. From reviews I've read, they very from scope to scope as far as quality but for the acog and red dot package I got, they seem to be a great scope for the $120 we put on it. I would recommend it for anyone not willing to put down the $1,200 for a real one.
