I found a deal on one of these scopes
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LWRI7F0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and couldn't pass it up. A FFP scope is something I've wanted for my wooden stocked SynRod for a while. I've had a decent amount of luck with my Leapers 4-16x44 so I'm not too afraid to take a chance on an inexpensive China made optic.
Does anyone have any experience with a Vector product?

It almost looks like my primary arms ffp scope I had on my synrod. It was an awesome scope but I dropped my gun once and it didn't hold its zero. I switched it out to my swfa 10x42 scope I have. Don't get me wrong though the primary arms scope was awesome.

Outside of the knobs, ALSO very similar to the BSA tactical 4x14-44 FFP which also sells for @ $250
Personally have 2 of those and very satisfied with glass quality / funtion being Chinese glass too

Unfortunately, it turned out to be less than a bargain once it got here. The crosshairs were crooked, and the variable power wheel wouldn't go below 6.5x.
It's back in the box with a return shipping label on it already.
For what it's worth, the optics were clear and it was okay otherwise. I think I got one that failed QC something fierce though.

I looked at the add on amazon for it. At 4.5x the center of the cross-hair looked to be in the center of your view. At 14x the center of the cross-hair appeared to be a third higher then the center of your view? Is that suppose to be like that? I've been wanting a FFP for a while now. Used a SWFA HD on a 10/22 and it was beautiful, also $1400. Thats a bit out of the budget for an airgun scope. Sorry to hear you got a bum scope. I had 2 Leapers that failed under 500 rounds. Good Luck.

I think it just looks higher because the bottom part of the cross hairs are longer then the other 3 sides. Mines was centered.

By crooked I mean the crosshairs were tilted maybe three quarters of the way to 11 o'clock.

Amazon will take it back. Refund or replace and pay for shipping. At least the did for me. Never mind your over 30 days.

Oh no. It went back to Amazon after about 48 hours.
