Buy the same Chinese scope for £125 from Fox Firearms - but get the 8-32 version.

Correct me on these if I'm not wrong are these ZOS with a different badge?

Spencer - you are correct. Brian shifts so many, he qualifies for his own logo on the scope.
We go over to the IWA Show in Germany every year and one year - about 10 years ago we were specifically looking for a quality Chinese optic.
ZOS was about the best we found and over the years, with our input, the reticles, lenses and controls have improved enormously.
I was shooting an F Class comp. at 900 yards with a new shooter a few months ago who was using one of these scopes in 8-32. He was struggling to find his target so I got behind his rifle and adjusted his front rest etc. When I got back behind my own scope, an 8-32 Nightforce, I realised that there wasn't much difference in the image quality! Just to be sure, I had another look after the comp. For £125, these scopes are truly remarkable and yes - you will see other vendors asking silly money for basically the same Chinese scope.
No way am I trying to say that these scopes are in the same league as a Nightforce costing 10 times as much but, optically, they are very 'shootable'.

Rang them this afternoon - seems like that could be an option.
Whats the turrets like on these, and warranty if any do you know?

They are actually 1/8MOA turrets. Nice and chunky - they are OK. Tube is 30mm.
Warranty? Brian just gives you another - not worth the postage sending 'em back to China! To be honest, he gets very few back.
Incidentally I'm not on commission - just hate to see shooters getting burned by paying £300+ for a £125 Chinese scope.

Couldnt agree more. They are brilliant value for money.
I have them on my AI308, Ruger Precision Rifle and Howa 223
They have been faultless for about 5yrs now.
