famous maker scopes

[djrpm]

has anyone ever heard of or had experience with these scopes?

http://www.aimsurplus.com/acatalog/Famous_Maker_3-9x26_Variable_Power__Tactical_Scope.html

I am looking to mount one on a ruger 10/22 and I would like something like this in this price range that doesnt have a completely fuzzy picture and can hold zero well. I previously had a NC Star 3-9x42 compact tactical scope that held zero very well, however, the eye releif was a little too short, and it sat a little too high in the rings for me.

I would appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks,

Ryan

I don't know anything about FM but I had a Mueller on mine that was pretty sweet. Sold it off awhile back and of course regret it. It was highly recommended over on rimfire central at the time and was not very expensive. Purchased it at a real good price from Mizzou mule or some such place.

Buy it and then tell us how it is. I was just looking at that the other day !

i was thinking about doing just that, but I am waiting to see the price and the look of kalinka's new pkt they plan on releasing this year. I thought about that with some arms quick deatch rings

You'll get what you pay for in this case. Bought two red dots; not long after both illumination turrets became loose. Took both apart and thought I fixed the problem but, they still become loose and with the one I need to set it between marks to keep it on. These will be the last FM POS I buy.

For cheap optics, you'd probably be much more satisfied with NC Star. Got two scopes with illuminated reticles, and they work great and hold their zero well

I bought a Kalinka, not impressed at all.

Gb,

after a little more research, I have found that people have had similar problems to yours.

I have an nc star now, but I want a little more eye releif

here's the optics i have been keeping in mind, but just keeping my options open in case i like that pkt

I had, 30 years ago, a Weaver 2 1/2x7 that pretty much did everything well. Wish I had it back.
