    Retail value is what anyone wants to put on any item "POCKET FISHERMAN GINENSUI KNIVES ETC" if retail is $190.00 why is buy it now less then $40.00? I have never ever heard of any dot using a BULB as light source all I have ever seen used a light emitting diode. I have used ULTRA DOT and GILLMORE for many years and they are great This unit might be just as good and everyone has to start somewhere but I for one have never heard of this brand. The ad does LOOK good for the price it would not be the end of the world if it turns out to be junk the extra Battery is worth $3.00[:p]

    Looks like a low-end Chinese made scope.

    Probably suitable for .22 plinking, paintball, or your BB gun.

    Probably NOT suitable for any "real" application where the recoil of a major caliber is involved, or your life is on the line.

    Real optics cost real money; you can't get around that.

    It says it is for .22, air gun or paintball, with no indication you cannot take deer with paintball. Pretty them up some maybe.
