About a month ago at my gun club I meat with a new guy, a light conversation and turned out he got working with a new Brand Chineese scope maker some sort of Enterprise = I have no idea what that means but anyway. They want to build a distribution from Canada .... ?!?

Fast forward, and seem to me he noticed that I am anal with optics, he offered me a sample scope me to make a review about it.
I told him I am not shopping for a new scope - he managed to send me one for "free" = only I need to make a review about specs.

He offered me a x27 ED powered but I said I prefer higher like x40, even if I may never need x40 but still I can turn it down.
Btw, I must mention this as well. He bough a brand new centerfire and mount this x27 new scope - how to say it polite .... clearly visible he has no F idea what he was doing :) and this probably gave me a chance for this freebee.

Here is what this 4-40x56 looks like on my testing setup:

To start from here.

The scope glass is really impressive, I never liked the FFP scopes but I figure I can have a compromise here.

The scope mount .... looks promising, the built quality is solid . The small bubble tube underneath is useless, so I ordered a 34mm bubble for it from amazon.

But, when I started installing the mount, it sits on the rail correct in free position ... I start tightening the screws - and the mount lifts up from the rail surface. This is a design error, a very bad copy or clone to call it.
This is no bueno, not for me.
I like to migrate = dual purpose my scopes between my air rifles, also I am moving my Falcon X50 between my Impact 100M BR gun and my W308 f-class without any issues.
So this scope mount is a junk in my eyes.
No problem, order a cheap 34mm westhunter from amazon, much better performer but still lifts up from the rail when tightening the screws.
Uhm...
These scope mounts I mentioned can work only in a single gun installation,
but that is against my vision what a scope mount shall be.

This one is a solid performer, but the price starts $300 and up:

What I like with this design?
Notice the ring split and how it grabs the scope tube?
When you setting up a bubble, you tightening up the ring, and - doesn't tilts the bubble !!! Thaaat is a money right there.

Btw, I have a full box of 30mm rings adjustable and cantilever and raised and offset, still have to buy a new mount for 34mm.
