Buyer beware

How do you correct parallax on that scope? 

Sorry, I've never heard of King Optics. At least you can be proud of Tangent Theta being local to you.

Crowski mentioned his Hawke airgun scopes.Hawke scopes are set at 25 to 50 yards. Airgun specific scopes. 

It very much looks like King Optics are specifically made for cold weather hunters using centerfire rifles. Meaning they're set up for 100 yard minimum shooting, or "parallax."

Everything about the product is aimed at hunters, and seems to promote ruggedness with simplicity. Simplicity to the point of not providing technical information. Stated at the bottom of About Us, as "bombarding the buyer."

"You will notice that we do not barrage you with all sorts of marketing and technical language which most consumers are not familiar with. That's because we know that one look through our optics and you will instantly notice the difference and the value provided."

WOW! They must use the best glass on earth. Lol.

I'm not going to buy a top tier scope unless I have all the specs. Buyer beware is right!!

I'm aware that parallax is the most misunderstood thing in the shooting world. Especially for those who want to shoot groups but give up or go crazy blaming the pellets/slugs, wind, gun, anything but said parallax which is the most likely culprit 
Most people don't know what it is, how to detect or how to minimize it.

There's a big difference between a pistol or 25 yard airgun scope, & a 100 yard rifle scope.
Take a SWFA SS 10x, 12x, 16x, or 20x for example The exit pupil (eye box) gets progressively tighter, smaller as the magnification increases, which in turn forces the shooter to repeat their hold, eye placement, & hopefully follow through. That's a good thing for some types of shooting, shooters; but not always desired or enjoyed by all. 

If I had a budding scope company and Crowski called telling me about his desire to scope a springer & shoot only pellets out to 50 yards max, I sure as Hell wouldn't sell him a couple of expensive 100 yard minimum parallax scopes!!!! 
Main question that gets asked is if a scope is springer rated. Today's etched glass reticles are all springer rated; but it's super important to match the minimum parallax setting to the airgun in question.

There are so many good scopes to choose from. Why is it that every time some mongrel appears, we have to look at it?

For an "expensive" scope the company name printed on the side looks REALLY cheap & tacky! Not done while scope was anodized but stenciled on afterwards. Looks as though they scored some cheap, bulk rate scopes & added their logo afterwards. 

I was a thinking the exact same thing Paul…And Gerry.

So many great scopes available these days in every price range to fill every niche. Of course people like different features and specifications but there’s plenty out there. If I’m going to spend a chunk of change on a scope, it’s going to be a good one or at least have a great reputation. If it’s a newer company, I’m certainly going to do my due diligence in researching it before I drop any cash. Looking at the models on the website would make me a little nervous, they certainly don’t look like quality to me. 

Sorry you got burned Crowski, hopefully they’ll eventually make it right and you’ll get a couple that work correctly. I don’t like bashing companies either but if they don’t make it right, the internet is a powerful tool. Good luck!

Wow.

I've had Better luck with the low cost scopes off Amazon! ...and they Look Better! Sorry to see ya spend your hard earned money (a Substantial amount,at That.) and get the snotty end of the stick.

As stated,there are so many decent options out there such as UTG, Discovery... ect. Perhaps take a look at Airgun Optics Plus?

My sincere condolences,

Mike

Wow just a quick search turned up some old 2012 posts from Canadian forums saying how bad these scopes are. And the prices, you would think for that money it should not look like a rebranded barska or ncstar. Sorry you got burned but there are better looking bushnell and simmons bargain basement scopes with less tier 1 claims. 

Sorry didn't mean to sound like I was busting on you. Just surprised these companies can put this kind of product out with those prices.
