    A 2-12 with a 24mm objective 😂😂😂

    I wouldn’t buy water from those assholes if I was dying from dehydration.
    I know nothing about their optics or where they are made.
    Won't pass judgment until I see more info.
    Definitely first thoughts are why the parallax adjustment....and for my uses, wish that the top turret wasn't so tall.
     
    I found a YT video from SHOT, it's a 30mm main tube, mil reticle, and mil turrets. On the face of it, it looks interesting but the reality will probably be a too tight eye box for a near&far gas gun, terrible IQ at higher magnification, and a FFP reticle that's usable for about 30% of the total magnification range, after which it's a glorified duplex.
     
    This is really odd, and I’m going to default to it being garbage until I hear otherwise from people who I respect their opinions.

    $1,350 is pretty pricey for Chinesium. Hopefully it’s Japanese

    12x with a 24mm objective sounds like an insanely tight eyebox.

    They don’t list the weight with the specs. It’s listed under “additional information” and is listed at a very course (and portly) 2 lbs.

    The reticle looks pretty good (center dot may be a tad big). But it certainly looks to be a rip off of the Nightforce FC-DMX. Don’t get me wrong, that’s a great reticle to rip off draw influence from. It just seems a little too close to it.z

    Holy crap, it is made in China… for $1,350

    I bet designed in house really means it was choosen from a catalogue and they specified the knurrling pattern and reticle.

    If they did actually design these specs in house, who they hell are they designing this scope for?
    A 24mm objective lens on a 12x scope is beyond stupid.
    I wonder if it was designed as a 1-12x but the 1x looked so bad they limited the magnification to 2x on the bottom end.

    I assumed they took a 1-6 and modified the glass to bump it up 2x for the 6x erector. Who knows though. I can only imagine how dark it gets or how tiny the eyebox is at 12x with a 24mm objective.

    There are a few Chineses LVPOs that are 1-12, there are also some 2-12x24 designs also so maybe it is just a standard offering by an OEM.
    For the most part Chinese OEMs won't do a optical redesign like that unless you are ordering 5000 scopes, and somehow I doubt that's the cases here.

    Or maybe it is and we are the stupid ones for not seeing the great offering here....
