ACOG With Auto Doctor Type Red Sight RFB, AR,AK47

"One new ACOG type scope, does not need batteries, 4x magnification. Includes Red Dot automatic switch sight. This is NOT A TRIJICON. I have sold a number of these with no complaints and use one myself on a SKS. Payment by USPS money order. Shipping $10 No exchanges or refunds due to customers damaging optics and then wanting to exchange or get money back. "


That's rich. Trijicon's still work even after being damaged. :lol:

The doesn't need batteries bit had me blurt a laugh when I scrolled down to the reticle picture. :rotf:

Why does it not surprise me that he used it on a SKS?

Also notice the reflex sight doesn't exist, yet is still molded there anyway. :lol:

More Junk we don't need from China. I bought a universal mount laser for my Glock 17 thinking it wasn't Chinese junk and that I had found a decent "deal". I got a "deal" alright. The way they mounted the battery sucks. When you fire the gun, the battery ejects out onto the floor each time it is fired. It never mentioned it was made for an airsoft, and now I am stuck with two of them and no airsoft guns....lol

Kenny at Atomic Tactical has a few dozen of these knock off optics hidden in boxes deep in their back room. He's too embarrassed to even show them to people. I think it's his "dirty little secret". :twisted:

Real ACOG's use the fiber optic filament to self illuminate, and then have a tritium backup for dark use. No batteries needed. That there's no illuminated reticle on the fake is why it was originally so funny to me.

When it comes to optics, you get what you pay for.

It astounds me how people say "ACOG clone" and the only thing copied is the general shape. None of the functionality. At least with the EOtech clones that circulated a few years back, it actually functioned more or less like a fragile EOtech.
