Just received a Bug Buster mini (Replica or not but really well made ,just pop in the CR1620 lithium cell and illumination comes to life) from aliexpress

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Tactical ... 13290.html

but to my disappointment the spacing on this scope between the bell and turrets is quite small in this scope.So the 1 inch single mount ( link below) I have which works fine for normally spaced scopes, but is not compatible with Bugbuster mini mentioned above .

So I would like some suggestions on the same if I am looking at the right alternatives options and if they will hold on to the recoil:

Did it pass through the customs easily? u paid any duties? I believe riflescope is a restricted item. Didnt they ask for a licence to import it?

Hi JSD,
> Yes, its true that the space between the lenses is small...
> But I feel by looking at the pic of the scope & of the mounts referred above - they should be able to hold the scope in place & also hold well during firing the AR.
> BTW my response is purely based on looking at the images of the scope & the mounts.
> I suggest that you log on to archerairguns.com & look at their range of scopes -Your 6x32AO Bugbuster compact scope and Weaver rings are shown there - So you can get an idea as to how this scope is mounted.
