Fitco ...... where good & cheap combo...

[sniper]

I've been looking at Fitco website and always wonder about those scopes are so cheap compare to bushnell, so the only way to find out for sure is to order some. I got the 2-6x28 and the 1x40RD red dot as well to compare with Tasco, and got 2-9x42L for Parker - perhaps he can post a review over that one. I needed a scope for anything less than 30 yard so the small 2-6x28C is more than enough. Well talked to the guy at Fitco, he sort of know what he's talking about but he told me there is no focus adjustment for parallax, ok fine order it anyway since it's only $ 30.00 there is nothing to loose there. It turns out that 2-6x28 does have focus adjustment on it and it is amazing scope compare to 3-9x32 Bushnell both have the same clarity. The Fitco is amazing I tested as close as 30ft and all the way to 75 ft, no problem. The red dot is definitely better than Tasco eventhough they're the same price range, one problem with Fitco red dot is the spec. says 40mm tube but that's measured on the outside, not from the inside as Tasco shows 30mm when I put them side by side they're exactly the same size, so the spec. is kind of misleading the consumers but performance wise of the red dot is very well.
Fitco 2-8x28C is excellent for the price. Certainly better than low-end Bushnell.
Scope rings for $ 7.50 /set .... cheaper than a pack of cigarettes.....lol...

Congats on the new toys Sniper!

I got one of those 2-6x28C. You are right, they are an excellent deal and clear optics. Very compact. You can adjust the parallax, but you have take off the front ring and rotate the lense. The only thing that bother me about that scope is the very short eye relief. I had to get an offset mounts to use it comfortably.

Well so far I have bought a 3X9 Illuminated compact scope for my 11.5" CAR-15 in .223, a 3X12 Illuminated scope for my SKS in 7.62X39, SKS scopemount, numerous scope rings, and a sunshade, and all products have held up and I will continue to buy scopes from them. Just my opinion, all I can say is the value is without question.

Thanks ETA, yes you're right, I forgot to mention about the eye relief is a bit short so I mounted it far to the back.

Randy - you're absolutely right - the value is without question.

Hi There Sniper,

If you don't mind me asking, what was the cost to have the scope shipped to Ontario? I am considering one of the Fitco scopes since a few of the members have been writing good reviews on them. Just wondering the cost to ship it.

Thanks and Take care,

They have 2 standard shipping charges to Ontario I would guess. 6 days for $ 10.00 and 3 days xpresspost for $ 20.00, of course I took the 3 days ..... I can't wait for 6 days .....lol.... well I split the shipping cost with Parker ....

Fitco scopes are awesome bang for the buck.

Nice scope mounts for the B5-10 Marmont!
I'll bet those offset BKLs rings costs just as much as the scope.

A gentleman never tells. Put it this way, they were worth it.
