Does anyone have experience and or knowledge of these pop up scopes? how good are the optics along with the general construction and alignment of the optics in use?

The 8" one looks like a nice compliment to my Ranger. Any help(word of wisdom?) would be appreciated.

Thanks
Scott

I talked with someone that bought one of these. He said that try as he and the distributor might, they could not get it to setup the same way twice in a row. He also said it would lose collimation throughout the night. Not stable or steady either. The distributor took it back for a refund.
Might be a one of a kind problem, but it will be interesting to hear what others have to say.
