Scorpion Optics....Any Good?

[RT]

Thinking about Getting a Scorpion Scope for my Varmint Rig. Probably something in the 4x16 power range. Ive got leupolds and Nikons on other rifles but just thought perhaps Id try something different.

Thoughts on these scopes please.

Don't wast your money total junk.

if the scope company is named after a bird or spider or other animal it's usually best to stay away....

Never even heard of them... that also tends to be a very bad sign...

There are tons of Chinese optics suppliers(parts or whole) and it is apparently not hard to start your own optics brand utilizing theses sources.A few names come to mind.Some are decent but most are not. Having said that,there is definitely a price ceiling on what i would pay for a chinese optic and some models of scorpion definitelty exceed it. Haven't tried the brand but have heard and read more negative than positive. That usually is enough to steer me away.If i was looking for an inexpensive scope for a light kicking varmint rifle, i would check out Mueller. They are available on Amazon.ca now without the usual gouging markup that comes with buying in Canada.

maybe for a 22lr plinking rig. I looked at them in the store. was not overly impressed.

They are great, same glass as S&B and the same tube as Zeiss...
IIRC, they also use a very similar turret as Premier scopes.













JUNK!

Mueller is Made in China as well.

I've got a Meuller 8-32 on my 10/22 and I've got a Scorpion copper head 4-16 on my Savage BSEV. Had them both for about 2 years now and 0 problems. Shot 1000's of rounds through both guns in all temps and not an issue. Cheap glass for plinking with 22lr.......good combination in my book.

Never heard of Scorpion......................Buyer Beware

Yes, i am aware of that.However,they have better reviews and are cheaper than scorpion.

I don't have the time and money to spend on testing out something that is likely to disappoint me..

I've had a Mueller on my 12 guage then moved it to my 20 guage and have never had a problem with it!

The 2-7x32 multi shot? I have one on a little savage 99 carbine and going to switch it to a 20 g slug barrel.

 

[hoochie]

how have people not heard of scorpion optics? you cant watch wild tv without seeing their ads over and over. would I buy one? lmao...NO

 

[wheels]

local store here sells them.. Scorpion takes the term '####ty' to a whole new level.

 

[JJ-65]

I would have no problem recommending them to someone that I really can't stand.

Yes that is the one and i've used it with turkey loads and slugs with no problem on both shotguns!
