Chinese acog copy

[Practical shooter]

Hello,
Has anyone bought and used a Chinese copy acog on a fullbore rifle.

If so how did it hold up for general shooting, did it last, did it hold zero.

Where did you get it.

Thanks

I haven't seen a decent copy of an ACOG. The only ones I've seen are just a cheap red dot/holo sight type thing in an ACOG style body. which may hold up on a 22lr.
You're paying for the look and a cheap red dot would do the same job at a fraction of the price.

With the Chinese's track record of copying things I wouldn't be surprised if there were some good 3.bowl or 4x ACOG copies out there, I've just never seen them.

I've had one on my s&w 15-22 for about a decade. It's held zero give or take a few clicks despite being dismounted between sessions. Haven't used it on anything with serious recoil though. One thing is that the "tube" is just a zinc alloy die casting and vulnerable features, like the backup iron sights, are proneto breaking off. No big deal, but one reason a FACOG is less than a tenth of the price of the real thing. I can't fault the optical quality.

I had one on a WE gas blow back L85 that had more felt recoil than an .22 and it held zero fine. Optical quality was decent too.

Certainly wouldn't trust it on anything else though.
