Best Budget Scope? 6-24X50mm Under $40
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- This is an in field review of the Twod Tactical Rifle Scope 6-24X50mm which is illuminated red/green. This optic comes with rings and everything you need to get started on a 1913 picatinny rail. This gun scope also comes with a scope shade and lens covers. It withstood the shock of my SCAR 17S (308), but is probably ideal for 556 as shown on my Daniel Defense DDM4V5 and small calibers such as 22LR or even an air gun. If you want to shoot long range and you're a beginner on a budget, you should consider this scope.

Love how I thought he was gonna put that scope on a budget rifle then it just goes to the clip of the FN Scar 😆👍
Lmfaoo😂
Love these inexpensive reviews. Us broke people really appreciate it.
Thanks, I like to mix it up on the channel
Problem is ... if 6-24 is real 6-24.... or more like 6-16 or less. Also if it can keep zero.
😂
@@ziggy5509 dont worry, it definitely wont hold zero.
Bryce Kimball mine holds zero just fine!
Replace the rings with heavy rings! Use the rings with three screws. 10 bucks e-bay
I purchased one for my 1905 7x57 Spanish mouser. I have run about 100 shots thru it and it still holding a quarter size pattern at 100 yards. Can't wait for deer season to come back in.
I bought one of those types of Scopes last year really do love it
Somehow it seems like with the Scopes that's coming out that you pay a lot of money by choice I'm a firm believer that you get what you pay for and in this case it seems like you're getting a really good scope
space your mounts as far apart as possible - this will improve consistency
Thank you
It looks like to me that there are several brand names that are being put on Feittachi scopes out of Japan… and I’ve had two or three of them and for the price they’re incredible. The high magnification you may see a little bit of distortion. As long as you don’t expect it to be a Zeiss,It works quite well considering you don’t have to leave at $500 for it
FN 17s are famous for tearing up scopes. Lets follow up after 1k rds.
I'm impressed ... $3.5k rifle and a $40 scope.
Yeah not ideal but works
Amazing results from this lower price riflescope under US 40, very good my Friend
I bought the same scope and it was 35 bucks on amazon and it still is. The optics are clear but super long. The ring for distance had come loose as soon as I turned it. It looks like they glued it on after the threads stripped. I zoomed in up to 24x and it is way too much. There is a 3x12x56 that is shorter and no adjustment ring to come loose. Although I didn't like the optic, I did like their customer service at TWOD and they made good on it with a free shooters bag and refunded my funds without having to return broken optic that can be fixed.
I'm happy to hear about their good customer service
There is one thing I find endlessly interesting about many budget scopes. They have a lot of accessories so that buying the scope is all you need to do, when more expensive scopes only have the scope.
There is one very good reason for that. The scope is of far superior quality...end of. I hate cheap optics. They just are not durable, foggy and simply don't hold zero. Buy good, buy once
@@Biffo1262
That is the truth
Thanks for your good review of this scope!! I've been toying with this rifle scope for some time but after this test I will buy it!! For 40$ you make nothing wrong!!!
Once you zero it at 24 turn the power down and see if the point of impact changes.
Thanks, I'll have to try that
Just the rings for my scope is over 4 times as much as that whole setup.
I should do a comparison video 😂 "$40 vs $1,800 scope"
But the thing is we've all had a time in our lives when we were just dipping our toes in shooting and didn't have much to spend on a scope. Back When I first started shooting i was using a $18 scope on my 22 and grew from there. So for people who just want a good scope on the cheap to practice with it definitely fulfills that need. Great review man!
My kid has one on his .22 and it's a great little scope. Of course. I have more expensive models. But damn, I was impressed!
I watched this video for only 5 minutes and ordered :) hope I will like it. It's five star rating on Amazon and now have over 350 reviews. Wow !
How to order this scope
Is it any good
i have same scope ringing plates at 400 yds all day with creedmore. have over 300 rounds lost zero cause mounts came lose. some blue lock tight and back to zero.
johnny6148 Just curious but what are you shooting with?
@@M0dernSurvival A gun.
@@M0dernSurvival mossberg patriot out of the box in 6.5 creedmore
After hearing so many people actualy have good experiences with this scope I was sad to see it was no longer available. Twod do however still offer some shooting accessories like bipods and range bags etc
Yeah we buyed one from alixpress and i put it on the 308 r700 and shot fine at 250 yards so its true 💯
A little blue lock tight on the mount bolts. 100 yards on my 308. 1 inch group dead center. Great buy.
Glad it’s anti frog.
Hate it when amphibious creatures get in my scopes.
BlaqkJaqk1355 I wondered if anyone else caught that too. 😂
Just making sure everyone is paying attention hahaha
We Run Guns hey I’m looking to get the flip lense caps for a Bushnell Banner 6x18x50 scope , any idea what size lenses I would get? I don’t have access to measuring the scope, any thought? It looks like the ones your using would fit
Hahaha 😄
You know that you are in the big time when you use a scope for frog hunting.
i have one and it works good,,,i got the deer at 489 yrds....sometimes cheap scope depends on who's behind the scope to get it done...been on my rifle for 3 yrs now....have a good day
That's one hell of a shot!
Three years? And it hasn't let you down yet? How have you taken care of it? Much banging round or none?
@@caseyjames9535 any tools if you know how to take care of them may last forever...
Lol
Thank you very much for the info. Is this mean it is safe to put it on my 308 savage?
Great review with the SCAR. I wanted to mention on my SCAR 17 I removed the factory gas jet (.50) and installed a .30 gas jet to reduce unnecessary gas pressure. I only shoot 150 grn ammo and never have had a problem. The jets are only $5 and in my opinion well worth it.
Your friend in OREGON
Thanks for the tip, I'll look into that!
Not sure what your talking about when you say gas jet can you explain that please.
Was wondering what you think about putting that scope on a savage 17 Bmag
Price went up it’s sad 😢 when companies get greedy.
Nice review sir
I have the cvlife version of this scope. Pretty decent for the money. But it's not actually 24x. More like 14 or so.
The parallax yardages are rarely correct on the cheap to mid range scopes...just turn until target is focused and parallax free.
Good point
LOL $40 optic on a SCAR I believe. Perfect video I love it thank you!
Thanks for watching!
How do you think we afford the scar ? Lol either 2k scope 500 gun or 2500 gun under 100 scope
The scope mounted easily to the rings on my .22 Henry. The image is clear and the magnification is easy to use. It was also easy yto sight in.
Ahhhhh. Trail glades. Could be there all day.
This dude is using some nice guns
Thank You My Friend For The Info I will Be ordering one real soon And thank you again when my check comes in it just comes once a month
tony kennedy You’re very welcome, hope you enjoy it
W
Throw the rings away. Get a set of cheep $10 rings off e-bay that are three screws wide. Use the wide rings and the scope will be great!!!! Had mine for about 6 months. Shoot it on an AR works great!!! Not as sharp or bright as the expensive but a hell of a scope for 33 bucks!!!!! The scope is clear and very usable.
Thanks for the tip!
Thank you for your posting about budget scopes. I am new at using scope and am glad someone realizes not all of us want to spend a lot on money because of a name. I am looking for a scope for my Mini-14 and just like shooting with my friends. So thanks.
Same here
Awesome, I think this is ideal for learning the fundamentals. Later on you can upgrade if you wish without having lost much
Very similar to the OTW and Pinty scopes I got off Amazon. They work great on my Savage MK II and 64G 22 rifles
Oh nice!
NICE SCAR
Thank you I just purchased one.
You're a good shot and this is a well-done video.
Appreciate that!
Amazing video man. You should do a series finding the right scar 17 scope on a budget
Thanks, good idea
@@werungunsIs there any chance there's a follow up video on how good it lasted or if it lasted at all?
Have this on a budget rifle.
Its worth the money.
Thanks for the great review, I've been trying to find a cheap scope to get started with and I think I might give this one a try.
+Eric young Yeah it’s great for a budget build and learning the basics. As you advance you can upgrade in the future.
I swear I have the exact same scope with the CV LIFE name on it . And I have seen a few more on line that I'd be willing to bet are the same too . Some factory in China is cranking these out and selling them to different distributors is my guess . I didn't use the supplied rings to mount it opting for a offset one piece off of Amazon . Been using it for a couple years and for the money, I have zero complaints . You gave a good honest review IMHO .
Thanks I appreciate the feedback
You are absolutely correct abt the manufacturing of budget chinese scopes being produced by one company and sold by a multitude of other companies
I'm a firm believer in Buy once, cry once type of optics. yes I do own some cheap scopes but they are on dedicated 22lr rifles.
I always get a kick out of the "Scope-Snobs" that troll this type of video review. Don't get me wrong; if I could afford a high dollar scope I'd probably get one too but, I've been using budget scopes for longer than I can remember. The few times that I'd succumb to the peer pressure to buy a scope that cost as much or more than the rifle I was shooting I was sorely disappointed. Those three or four higher dollar name brand scopes failed over time and the cheap budget scopes I bought years ago are still working fine; they still hold zero and a couple of those cheapies have been on several different rifles from 308s to 6.5s to 223s to 303s.
The higher dollar scopes that were supposed to last, didn't last and the cheaper ebay scopes that were said to be junk are still going strong. In your face, "Scope-Snobs."
It wasn't that long ago that a scope like the one in this review was at the high end of the scope spectrum. Modern manufacturing techniques have now made it possible to sell an under fifty dollar scope with the quality that the high end scopes of yesteryear. If you can afford the high end stuff then, get the high end stuff; good for you. If I bit the bullet and capitulated to peer pressure again I'm sure I could scrounge up the funds to do so but, why the heck would I do that? Even thousand dollar-plus scopes can and have failed. For a thousand dollars I could buy over twenty of the type of scopes in this video.
Even giving the "Scope-Snobs" the benefit of the doubt and saying that those scopes would fail, one of the things that my cheap scopes came with was a limited life time warranty. If one goes bad, send it back while you attach another one. If the second one goes bad, send it back and attach one of the other of the 20 plus you I initially bought. I know that it's a numbers game. A certain percentage of all the scopes any manufacture makes will go bad regardless of their price point.
Thanks for sharing! Budget scopes certainly have their place in the market.
There is no need what so ever to pay for the high dollar scopes I own 50 different scopes and for the money I would rather buy 2 or 3 a year compared to the prices I have paid for TOP NAME scopes not top quality.... Play around and I gerentee you can get a 100 yard scope for very close to a hundred bucks
I couldn't agree more. I'll be rebarreling one of my Tikka rifles next week and I'll also be transferring one of my cheap off-brand scopes onto it. The marketing directors of the various high end scopes are to be commended. They've done a fantastic job of steering people away from the less expensive scopes and getting them to shell out ridiculous amounts of money for the scopes they represent.
@@justlooking8820
I agree. Many times I've gotten the impression that those who look down their noses at guys like me who do just fine with less expensive scopes, are essentially using their scopes as a crutch to compensate for deficiencies in their shooting technique.
Similarly, I've seen guys go out and buy an ultra expensive rifle with MOA or better guarantee but it does them no good because their marksmanship is still at a level that renders an ultra accurate and expensive setup basically no better than a budget rifle.
That's not to say that expensive scopes and expensive rifles aren't worth buying. They definitely are, but if you can make the same shots with less expensive gear, is it really our place to belittle someone else's preferences?
@@mtdusmc9437
most all mid range and high end scopes also have a life time warranty that are transferable owner to owner. example leupold even fixes or replaces the scope even if its like 50 years old and you are the 10th owner
Love this scope. I have 2 of them.
Good value IMO
Great review. I just be bought one on eBay. I'll put it on my .223 or my AR-15/22LR. Thanks
I have 2 of these and they are on .17wsm b-mags and they work perfectly. Now I don’t know how they do on a gun with recoil but for my .17 😳 great 👍
This is exactly what I am interested in using this for... A Savage B MAG 17 WSM
you have paper between the holes that group sucks
Its A Combat Effective Scope For The Budget Shooter! If Its All That You Can Afford, Its Not A Bad Choice!
I would never put s 30 dollar scope into the "COMBAT READY" category 😂🤣😂
If You Can Hit Your Target Its Combat Effective! Price Has Nothing To Do With Effectiveness! Its Better Than What Our Troops Had In WWII, Korea And Vietnam! Its Good Enough For The Average Citizen If It Keeps Zero And They Hit Their Target! It Doesn't Have To Be Top Tier! Combat Effect Is Hitting Your Intended Target! I Think That's The Objective!
Just ordered one for my 6.5
Beautiful day at "trail glades range" in Miami a have 2 from cvlife which i think they are made in the same factory in china can't complaint about them but to go to the range to have some fun, it does the job.
love the budget review. subscribed
Thanks for the sub!
@@werunguns you deserve it.. got any on armor, ear and eye protection?
You should do another video with same scope on bolt action 223 and 308 match Ammo. Take it to the Max.
Good thinking
Good video and evaluation. I just ordered one, thank you.
Thanks, let me know how you like it!
Nothing wrong with an affordable scope. Especially if you have a few rifles.
Why not
Exactly, or if you are just budget minded
Scope = 40 rounds of 308. I would like it as a torture test. Can’t believe I heard coupon and Scar in same video. My usual advise is to spend 50% of of what a rifle cost towards the optics. $400 rifle = $200 scope. $3000 rifle = $1500 scope. Great review. I gave u a thumbs up because your a fellow Scar owner and ur passionate about your sport
Thanks, appreciate that. It was on the scar just for this vid. I have a red dot on it now but looking for something better. What do you use?
I clearly understand. Shoot and use what makes you happy. I was just giving u a friendly buddy knuckle rub. I use a night force SHV. Not NF top model but it’s what I could afford at the time to getting into nightforce. On a serious note, my Nikons are just as good if not better than my NF or Burris. Great review
Excellent review ...Liked/Subscribed !
Thanks!
I don’t know why it bothers me as much as it does that everyone says this, but it’s “6 to 24 by 50” not 6 by 24 by 50” I’m the same way with “clip” vs “magazine”
These scopes are excellent for the money. Although they are made in China it is well made. Can't complaint.
You need to try the 556 Sierra match grade MK BT 69 grain for accuracy! That's a federal cartridge
Its the scar 17 in .308 but i agree with anything sierra also.
@@Apolloneek 308 likes a 1 in 12 twist! I would want at least a 20 inch barrel. If it don't have that combination, I'll out shoot it with a 5 5 6!
@@james44mag31 actually thanks for that info im getting into larger caliber weapons. How much fps is lost per inch of barrel if you had to guess and also which performs best out a short barrel
@@Apolloneek 2400 FPS in 16 inch barrel 2500 FPS in an 18-inch barrel! 300 blackout in a 10 1/2 pistol platform! 556 is way too fast in a 10 1/2 barrel. Imo, notice the longer the barrel the more FPS
What I wanna know is how well does it gather light at twilight? Also how is it going to stand up to recoil? Claims to be waterproof, but that remains to be seen. I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for.
That thing is Big i thougt it would Be one of those looks 10 Times langer on the Box Scopes!
That it is
Great review
Thanks for the review.
I bought one to try just out of curiosity. The mounts are too light duty. Replace the rings with heavy duty rings. Then it’s good scope. Holds zero. It is not as clear as my expensive scopes but it is very usable for target shooting or hunting.
Yeah I think it's a good value scope for the money
Good review on the scope check out why the Navy hates the scar on UA-cam
I have one of these on my .243 I use for deer hunting. The only real issues I have with it, is that anything past like 18x gets kinda wonky if the lighting isn't just perfect; like too much or too little will white out or black out. And its pretty busy inside (the reticle) and the hold over lines dont change with magnification so like for instance on 6x @100 the space between zero and the next like down is several feet and zoomed into 24x it's just inches... So unless you practice with it at a fixed zoom, its kinda useless
I have a ZOS 10x40 50mm mildot red illuminated scope its awesome i paid 129 on ebay came from China 3 weeks delivery time but worth the waiting . the scope rings are for 22 or Air rifle. So i got scope rings 30mm high weaver at walmart less than 20 bucks and i have bought 2 of these scope first time i bought $60 rings at cabelas. This scope in great for distance shooting i also got eotech 551 clone holographic for 30.99 on ebay awesome metal solid red/ green dot sight. Got hole in hole at 25 yrds for the money cant beat it either. The zos glass is as good as any 1200 to 1600 dollar scope my buddy is a Zeiss guy said my glass is as good or better than his Zeiss scope. He couldn't believe i paid 129 for it.
Nice!
@@werunguns the guy from best of the west huskamaw scope was at the range and told me the zos is vortex budget same company makes the scopes for them and imports the scopes with VORTEX on them packaged VORTEX
I think you should use different ammo if you want accuracy. Green tip is the most inaccurate bullet for 5.56 calibre. You'd get much better results from 55gr. IMO
Thanks for the feedback
@@werunguns I hope it helps. Happy shooting. Great video.
I don't believe he was shooting at 223 he was shooting a 308
I've owned one of these scopes and shooting them at 50 yards - of course, it's going to seem accurate. It's when you step further away from 100 yards that you start running into issues.
Issues I had:
1. Sight picture was awful. I mean - it became strenous to keep my eyeball on the sweet spot where I could see downrange.
2. Scope rings which came with it were awful.
3. Accuracy drops significantly at 200 yards.
4. Shooting with anything over 5.56 throws the scope off.
5. The scope is a bit dark - which is weird considering it's 50mm and the glass isn't that great since it has considerable chromatic abberations, and the edges get fuzzy.
6. Shooting at anything over 400 yards - hopes and prayers you can see the target clearly much less land a shot anything less than 3 MOA.
You don't have to be rich to get a great scope on Amazon, but you're getting what you pay for with this one.
If you want to hurl lead from your pappy's .22 at the 50 yard range, it's ok for that.
It's almost as if you don't understand the intended market for this scope.
@@jonathaneglinton5378 😆
Another good scope for cheap is a sonic king , I paid like 35 bucks for it and it is a great scope . 3x9x40.
Oh cool!
Up to date what's the outcome? Did it last good on the 308?
So, a year later how is the scope?
I've had cheaper scopes before and they served their purpose, in the sanitized type of conditions you are shooting in. Where good and more expensive scopes shine is clarity and light beyond 100 yards, reticles that don't move after use, bumping etc, and most importantly, and the one thing these reviews never seem to cover is tracking. Ca you do follow a follow up long term on one of these, and especially cover how accurately and consistently they track and hold zero, etc? At this point, the only "budget" scope (under $300) that I'd trust is SWFA. They make great fixed power budget scopes. I know people complain that somehow 200-300 on a scope is too much, but then again, you're spending a good deal more for the rifles, so you can probably suck it up and get a decent scope also
Good point, thanks for the feedback
Do you think the scope would fit on a .177 air rifle?
Yes
It's $53 now it's the end of August 2020 I'm sure they got better cheaper new ones out by now?
Looks pretty similar to a Goetland scope I recently purchased, and I can't find anything about that company online lol.
The range markings on parallax adjustments are estimates. Scope manufacturers put those there because people would freak the fuck out otherwise. It really should just be blank
Great test buying 2
Awesome! I think it's good value for the money
Just a little advice. If your rings come with grip tape in them, throw them in the trash and get some better ones. Properly fitted rings shouldn't need any additional material to hold the scope in place.
Good point, but this is a value/budget scope. Good for learning the fundamentals.
@@werunguns I'll admit, it appears to be a good scope, especially for the price............lower than some I've purchased that turned out to be total junk.
They are a bit more expensive but, you should review some of the new Leapers/UTG scopes being offered. I currently have a Leapers 4-16x44 illuminated compact scope on my AR. It cost me $139 but, worth every penny in my opinion. It's capable of producing 36 colors on the reticle (90% of which I'll never use but, it's nice to have that option) and the focus is controlled by a knob on the left side rather than having to rotate the objective lens barrel. Also, the turrets are large and have locking rings rather than covers. The dials can also be reset to zero after final adjustments are made. So far, I've gone through over 1.500 rounds and haven't had to re-zero the scope.
Thanks for the tip. If I have the opportunity in the future, I’ll review it. Still have a 3-9x40 I have to review AND a NightForce I have on my Barrett 50BMG to do.
Isnt that front adjustment ring just for focus at the indicated yardage? There doesnt seem to be a parallax adjustment on this scope. There should be a 3rd knob next to the windage and elevation knob.
I too like "TWAD"
The Parallax numbers will not even be close. I have one of these scopes and you actually get a little more than you pay for it's not a teetotal piece of junk it works. I wouldn't dare try tracking with it
I adjusted the factory iron sights on my HK91 to 200 yd zero. Couldn't afford the scope mount. Didn't seem to suffer from it.
Nice work with the iron sights
@@werunguns Looking for a similar type for my AR15. I could lock my sight picture and rapidly hit anything in view. A friend and I were shooting at empty milk jugs, 1 gal, and half gal jugs. We could sight them so fast that when one got hit and went flying the other shooter could pop it while flying. We expended 20 rounds each on them in about 15 seconds. Great rifle.
Cool, just ord'd one from Amzn.
Cool, hope it works out for you!
i sure would like to try one of them on my 308 cal
tony kennedy for the price, I don’t think you can beat it. I just don’t have a high round count through my 308 SCAR
I need a budget scope from 1
I guess they sent you a good one. Looked on Amazon, it's hit and miss with these. A lot of bad one star reviews where it don't track or internals crumble after 300 shots or less. Great price clear optics though...maybe a few years more they will get it right. Looking for a cheap scope for a youngster as a present and did not want to spend 300 for SWFA. I heard Discovery makes some decent optics that track for the $.
@cmiller8492 brand?
It's always good to see the experience others had with it. I am just a single data point
The rubber eye piece says 'low power', like rimfire.. .17 cal. If the scope to eye is less than 3.7", she is an eye cutter.. plus the 1" tube leaves not much room for the etching for the reticle.. and bud.. that scope is looking for your eyebrow .. like all the time. Put that on a .22LR.. and you did not work the vertical turret back and forth to see if it re-zeros. When the groups start to spread.. that can be when the glue starts to go.. and it can take several tens of rounds to get the glue to really go and then it is out of focus forever or the reticle adjustment busts and stays at one point.. forever..
I did note that there where no addible clicks and it looked like you could have used vise grips to turn the turret.. reminds me of the cheepy I have that now is locked at 4 power.. [stored it to long?]..
How’s the scope holding up so far
Your 223 groups appear to be more wider than 308 groups
Put some quality rings that dont need gaffers tape to hold snug...and you would most likley have better groups
Thanks for the input
Wow. This scope is now $160 on Amazon Canada. 😳
AWESOME
Wouldn't it be more stable to separate the scope rings to their max?
So if i go to a gun shop and ask for a "twod" they will know what i'm talking about?
Nice scope but needs better mounts, specially with a 308.
I put it on my daniel defense ar it works.
looks good have you got a mounted cam view on the scope?
Thanks and I don't actually
Can set the turrets back to zero after you get it dialed in
After 30+ years of buying cheap scopes, I've come to a conclusion. Don't spend less on a scope than 75% the cost of your rifle. If you have a $300 rifle, put a $200-$225 scope on it. If you have a $1000 rifle, put a $750 scope on it. I'm still a cheap bastige... but I've learned the hard way that a $50 scope WILL come apart, stop tracking, or a lens will fall out when you most need it on your $1200 rifle. I've learned to budget for that "75% the cost of the rifle" scope when I buy the rifle. I've been too poor to put that kind of money into a scope, so I respect this kind of review a lot... but, learn from my drawer full of "scope corpses" and do what you can to put good glass on a good rifle!
