[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1093849, member: 229"] I hear some good things on the net about Osprey's Chinese-made etched glass products, but their holographic and red-dots apparently suck. Sorry man - I learned the hard way long time ago not to buy anything that was "unknown" at a gunshow unless I was totally willing to risk that it is pure crap. Those guys are banking on the fact that you're more than likely only going to be there for one day and might not even remember who you bought it from; and if you do, you'll never be a walk-in customer again (if they're from out of state), and there are craploads of Tacti-cool / super-secret-government-contract / ninja optics out there that for some reason you've never seen or heard anything about until you got to the show - and that same place has all the perfect mounts for it for only $35!!!!! We've all been "that guy" that got screwed at one point or another man - don't feel bad, my first bad gunshow decision was on an NcStar red-dot with mount for a Ruger Mini-14 that cost me about $135 and lasted less than 50rds before the solder for the battery-compartment broke and fell apart (then the windage knob broke) and the mount they sold me with it was always as solid as can be for about 10-20rds before it needed adjusting. Now no one can know everything, so sometimes you take that risk, but I've found that especially with electronics and mounts (and especially at a gun show), if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. I noticed at this particular gun show that a lot of the vendors who sell high-quality stuff weren't there and there were a crapload of tactical / airsoft-quality products being sold left and right.
