RSM reproduction No.32 mk.2 scopes

[168bergersapper]

I know this has been talked about before on here but I was wondering if I can get some first hand feedback on the quality/function of the RSM reproduction no32 scopes. I recently noticed they lowered the price on ebay by quite a lot. I think now the whole package retails for $650 ish canadian. I just finished restoring a 43 LB no4 mk1for a "T" repro and am needing to top it off to complete my build.

I did the original evaluation of the RSM No. 32 scope for the company in China and unless they really and I do mean really got their act together save your money.
They used tolerances in fractions of an inch where they should have used thou.
They did have some good points but too few to mention.

The review by wheaty linked to is a scope by a different manufacturer (Taiwanese) than RSM (mainland china).

Any idea if there is a repro scope out there worth my money?

Ones Wheaty has gone through. I put 1,000plus rounds of 303 through the repro sniper I put together. It never lost its zero.
