Chinese spitfire optics; any good?

[THE FNG]

Hi all,

 

 

Was wondering if anyone has taken a punt on the Chinese copy spitfire x5 optics on ali express?

 

 

I keep seeing this and getting tempting. There are an annoyingly small amount of reviews on them.

 

Was wondering if anyone has tried them and if they are worth the £100+ price?

Thanks in advance and Happy New Year all!!!

I’ve tried the 3x, and quality was as close to identical to the genuine 5x I had as makes no difference.

BUT

They all (gen and copies) have very short eye relief. As long as you’re happy with that, you’ll be fine

Thanks for the reply Rocket.

Would you say the eye relief is comparable the elcan spectre sights?
