What you are buying here is all junk!
Chinese knockoff junk! You may not be aware, but the Chinese do not honour any copyright laws, and trademarks, so anything coming out of china, at such prices for the most part is knockoffs.
If you want an optic on an SKS a red dot, and a BC Tactical Scout Mount(made in Canada) is the way to go!
The website I am referring to is alibaba as mentioned in a previous post. Everything on the site is chinese knockoffs.
I don't care if it's made in China, but a chinese knockoff of a cheap chines scope is a whole different ball game.
Regardless, those types of scope mounts are junk and do not hold zero regardless of where or who manufactures them.
Your obviously new, so take some advice, which several have given here. That whole deal is junk! I am no snob, and have an SKS, and also own several cheaper Bushnell scopes, but there are limits, and you get what you pay for!
Cheap chinese junk will perform like cheap chinese junk.........

It's junk and I speak from personal experience, as I've ordered from that site(alibaba). Both firearm related, and non firearm related items. All was crap. The service and shipping was decent, but I learned my lesson. Glad I wasn't out a lot of money. Save your cash and buy something decent.
Hey, just an FYI from some scopes I got on ebay back in july. A knock off bushnell 3-9x40 ($35), 4-16x40 ($45) and 4x32 ($15). Ive had the 3-9 on my .22lr and it performs flawless and no fog etc and never loses zero unless i take it off to clean. The others I had on my SKS and shot over 1000 rounds and still perfect and holding zero. So for the guys who said they suck, well they dont. Same scopes you buy here in canada come from a place called china. Looks like I saved a few hundred bucks on scopes that perform just as well.
I've had camera lenses shipped from china they're the same quality as the ones you buy here hell it's all made in china loll
but on a more serious note stuff comes in a good condition well packed and without any breakage what so ever, would do it again

As mentioned, some of the stuff you over pay for here in Canada is made in/from China anyway. It's sometimes better to cut out the middle man and save some well earned money.
Wouldn't it be just as illegal transporting it from the US to Canada via your own car as it would shipping it?
I was torn about buying chinese knockoffs for a long time. Not so much about the quality, but about taking jobs away from workers close to home. I've finally decided that i'll buy cheap chinese if the original is produced in china and marked up 1000%, because those jobs have already been lost, and the profits are going to paper pushers. I'd rather not have my money go to those kinds of companies.
Chinese products can be just as high quality as products made any place else....a good % of what we pay high prices for brandname stuff is made there anyways....lol....most of Cabelas, Walmart, CanadianTire, etc etc stuff isn't made in North America....Pretty sure everyone knows that but still when someone says they are ordering direct all of a sudden it turns into junk.
My last pair of 300.00 hunting boots (Redwing Irishsetter) also say "Made In China"....it would be interesting to knownwhat the importer paid, and what the retailer paid...direct order might be the way to go.

I cant remember the sellers name but if I do ill PM you. Just search the size of scope you want and click on lowest price and shipping. I Usually go with the best priced one but the sellers % status has to be high to for me to order. The 4x32 scope I won for $15 on an auction which they usually go for $25-30 on ebay. Same seller and brand new etc, just another way to save a little money with some ebay auctions.
