    Wish .com Optics??

    Just ordered a Bushnell 3x42 Red/ Green Dot sight from them for $14 and a bunch of beads for my Studio, total shipping was $20, ( as I understand it, that they ship stuff from multiple locations) Three weeks to get it. Anyone else tried this outfit??

    I always thought wish was questionable. Like ordering cheap electronics off Ebay. I can't wait to hear your results though.

    I'll let you all know if it's legit, at least on what I ordered. They are saying some of this stuff will be delivered between Friday and the end of next month. nothing like a definite timeframe. I got wonder if it's being shipped by Three mast Schooner from Hong Kong

    I can guarantee you that those are fake high-end scopes. Ain't no way those glasses are sold at those prices,

    The "Wish" name gave me an immediate flash back to the movie "Blues Brothers". Somewhere in that movie they were singing a song and the lyrics mentioned a "wish sandwich." One of the performers asked what that was. The singer answered "You have a sandwich and you wish it had some meat". I've laughed over that line a long time now.

    I got the scope today Of course I don't have the right battery The box had no markings and the generic instruction sheet was for a different scope. It does have the Bushnell Logo and is marked 3x42 with flip up scope covers and an integral mount. It came with the allen wrench included. I'm going to mount it on my Rossi 30-30 for brush shooting Should get out this Sunday and see if it will do what I bought it for.

    ive bought Nikon factory refirbs that came in white boxes like that. Could be a true bushnell (for what that's worth) that is a factory refurbished warrantee unit.

    This is marked Bushnell, but my gut instinct is it's a knockoff, overrun, or return. It was mailed from China so far the reticle lights up green or red, it's a cross in the center not a dot.

    Same here. Wouldn't buy from an outfit like that, ever.
    I give loading advice based on my actual results in factory rifles with standard chambers, twist rates and basic accurizing.
    My goals for using cast boolits are lots of good, cheap, and reasonably accurate shooting, while avoiding overly tedious loading processes.
    The BHN Deformation Formula, and why I don't use it.
    How to find and fix sizing die eccentricity problems.
    Do you trust your casting thermometer?
    A few musings.

    Got it mounted and bore sighted. The only way you can get on wish.com is to download their app so I put it on a cheap tablet with a new email

    yup lots of cheap china knock off leupolds out there. Be wary of a deal to good to pass. its why I wont buy a scope on ebay or amazon anymore unless theres a reputable company posting the add.

    Bunches of Hong Kong Leupolds on Fleabay. I guess the auction site is happy to just look the other way and collect the fees if Leupold doesn't complain about it.
    Currently casting and loading: .32 Auto, .380 Auto, .38 Special, 9X19, .357 Magnum, .257 Roberts, 6.5 Creedmoor, .30 WCF, .308 WCF, .45-70.

    Tried it out reticle cockeyed after 5 shots.
    Couldn't keep shots on paper at 25 yards after 10 rounds. That gun ammo has grouped under 1.5 moa with a 60B Weaver. Got what I paid for pure junk. Will try their return policy.
