I dug our a Chinese scope that was part of an A2 carbine purchase several years ago, I had kind of forgotten about it, probably thought it was worthless junk and stashed it away.

I think I tried it quickly with the carbine then, but don’t remember how it performed, so I decided to mount it on my SP1 rifle and to take it to the range.



Guess the previous owner was embarrassed by it’s provenance






At the range, 50 meters indoor with a rest bag






It performed surprisingly well, although 50 meters isn’t much of a distance, so I’ll have to try it at the 300 meters outdoor range in the spring.

I’d prefer an original vintage Colt, but I never found one in good condition at a decent price. And the Brownells repro is quite expensive here (Switzerland)

The SP1 carbine with open sights performed almost as well.
