Should we import any scope for air rifle ?

[AnandNair]

Looks great! Congrats Anand. How does the rifle shoot? Os the trigger smooth?

Had done a full Lube tune including chamber and piston deburring and also a trigger tune. Shoots as smooth as any precihole can get. No grating noise, no vibration and a clean breaking trigger. I had also filled the stock with Pu rubber foam which has deadened the stock noise considerably.



Sorry Admins for what seems like a post Hijack

About 2 weeks before this thread was made, i had tried to import a scope (UTG 30mm SWAT 3-12X44 F.S. IE Scope with AO Mil-dot, 36 Colors EZ-TAP) for my new Precihole Scorpious and was unsuccessful as neither Optics planet or PyramydAir was ready to ship. So i went ahead and ordered a "original" AR312X44 Air Rifle Scope from AliExpress. It arrived today, taking 14 days to reach me via Singapore Post Air Mail, including the 10 days taken by the Indian Foreign Post office to clear it.
The Package was clearly marked 'Rifle Scope' and the customs had opened the package and in the Duty Chalan had mentioned 'BSA Essential Rifle Scope' and charged Rs.1680/- as duty.
Why i am posting this is to clarify that a single Rifle scope import is not stopped. The customs decided that the scope cannot be used to beat any one to death and I am not a threat to national security.
As for the scope.. I am very happy, the 44mm Objective combined with the 43mm eyepiece makes the scope very bright and clear. Actually the optics is clearer than my Original Centerpoint 40mm scope even at the full 12x magnification. Fixed it on my Scorpious, took 6 rounds to zero, shot 50 pellets to check if the zero holds (it holds. will have to check after a few hundred more shots).
The Weaver rail and ring not part of the scope.

Tried ordering a scope from cart2indja. They take the order but call you or send a mail saying they can't import it. While they list the scope and have a bunch of cool UTG scopes, they don't import any since its restricted. [emoji17]

damn man...it's like the same story over n over agian...m starting to hate the gun laws here already...they r totally lopsided.... people buy these rifles n scopes by walking into the nearest walmart...it's literally like walking into a bigbazaar and buying a AR..(my dream that wud never be realised)...

@Chinmay1986 There is hope buddy. The times will change. Try dealextreme. They have a few scopes and some people I know have imported some. But they aren't original. Will work decently well. But will have some teething issues.

[chinmay1986]

@kesh : thanks bro will check it out, a few members mentioned aliexpress as well...would check that one too...

@AnandNair can you please tell me about the scope rail/mount that you have attached to your NX100 Scorpious? I'm also looking for a similar mount for my Scorpious but couldn't find any.

Thanks.

I ordered a 4x20 scope from aliexpress.

aliexpress . com /item/New-4x20-Air-Rifle-Telescopic-Scope-Sights-Mounts-Hunting-Sniper-Scope-freeshipping-bny/1076774419.html

Comes to about rs 320

2 days after placing the order, I now suspect that it won't be able to handle the kickback of a 35 spring rifle. Lets see when it arrives. If I find it poor, I'll put it up for sale on olx.

[Basu]

I have one 4x20 mm fitted on my National 25.
Clarity is far less than 3-7x40mm.
But it is doing nice job till 25 yds.
I find it much better in comparison with open sight.

Mine could not hold Center. The bigger scopes I have stay put. A friends 4X20 scope burst.
If the scope you get is good, great!!! If its bad, just keep it. Don't sell it. Nothing worse than cheating a trusting soul.

Btw the Gamo 3- 12 x 50 in Aliexpress is very good. Got one from then. Worth the price....... but not the wait

How long have you had it - on which gun? I would like to put it on a hard recoiling springer.
How many shots have you shot through it?
Is it still on the site?
How much did it cost you, price + duty?
How long did it take to reach?

Anxiously awaiting response,
Regards.

Lol..... You sound like a lawyer.
Have it for more than a year, mounted on a RWS 34 P, about a 500 to 600 shots (with this particular scope), holds site well, cost about $50 (3-12x50 AO), no duty was charged, takes about 30 to 40 days.
Hope i've answered all your questions.

Thanks a ton for the info.. Much appreciated!

I've heard that customs guys show extreme prejudice (/greed) towards scopes etc. How come AliExpress stuff sneaks through when the rest gets doesn't? Just wandering.. Did the seller label it as something else? I hope customs is still lenient as before with Chinese products.. I don't mind the wait as long as customs doesn't grab my scope!

In the reviews page of the given url, someone was facing focusing issues with his and after disassembly, found that the elements were hard glued to the case.

I'll test it when it arrives and if i feel the internals "wobbly", will use fevi quick to hold them in place permanently.
