I purchased two of them based on Odoyle’s recommendations. I am very happy with the brightness of the glass and comfortable eye box. For the price of around $229.00, I am impressed with them. I have them mount on two HW97K’s with Burris xtr rings.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

I bought 2 a few weeks ago when I saw them on sale for $179. The build quality seems very good and the scopes are quite clear. Cannot say anything about tracking/reliability since I haven't mounted or used them yet.

IIRC it was OpticsPlanet. I've deleted the emails. Almost certain that is correct because it took quite a while for them to ship.

Essentially it's roughly a $400 scope that's not mandated by MAP Pricing like most other more popular brands of scopes that's why you can get them real cheap of you shop smart. If it even sold for $599 I really don't think anyone would complain based on its optical quality IMHO.

It looks like this thread is primarily about the Alpha6 4.5-27. Can I ask if some have tried the Alpha6 1-6x24?
https://www.aimsportsinc.com/alpha-6-1-6x24-30mm-riflescope-w-cq1-moa-reticle/
If so, what do you think--esp for its use on an air rifle?
I really like the reticle.

Just don't compare it to your much more expensive well respected well loved Popular Mainstream Brands of scopes of Chinese origin then you won't feel stupid previously getting really ripped off. Don't ever compare it side by side to the $799 Element nor the $649 MTC VIPER PRO each set at 24x for the $799 Element and 27x for the $649 MTC.

Thank you, Gentlemen! I just made an offer. We'll see what happens. Sounds like a great scope, esp for the money!

And don't worry about the parallax, as scopes of this configuration do not suffer too much from it.
Got a 1-4x20 scope, and I am still able to do this with 5 shots at 25 yards:
10 shots:
Kinda hard to see the small targets at 4x from a distance of 25 yards though, lol!

Questions for you Alpha 6 owners: Do any of you use it to compete in hunter division field target matches? I see where some of you are using a large 3d scope wheel that is often used by field target shooters.
Even if you are not using it for field target, you might be able to still answer if it is suitable or not if you know these attributes about hunter field target scopes (apologies if you are already familiar with FT):
In hunter FT we do not know the actual range of the targets, and use the scope’s focus wheel to range the target so we know the holdovers we must use to hit the killzone. In setting up our scope beforehand we go out and verify the range markings on our scope wheel by testing with known distances, and marking actuals on our scope wheels.
In hunter FT, 16x power is the maximum we are allowed to use, even though the scope may have a higher capability. Many scopes at 16x range pretty well out to about 40 yards, but it is the 40-55 yard range where they become a little meh. Some scopes are a little better than others, but I have not heard anybody finding the holy grail yet.
So one important scope ranging attribute is how quick and consistent it “pops” into focus when ranging. For instance if I am ranging a target at 40 yards, and its focus looks the same at 40 yards as it does a 45 yards, then I might use the wrong holdover and miss the killzone.
I would appreciate your feedback.

Disregard my post above, just learned the 27x scope does not have 16x markings on it, so it would not be useful for hunter field target.
