Got mine Saturday. #326
Most of the metal is typical Chinese crude. Threads feel rough, edges have not been softened at all.
I wouldn't call the finish blue. I'm not sure what it is. Have you ever bought Chinese furniture and noticed the supplied screws? Black finish and coated with a light machine oil? Same thing on the scope. I was afraid that with the amount of oil on it that it would be all over the lenses but they were clear.
Crosshairs are fairly heavy. Optics appear to be very good, much better than I expected.
Front bell adjustment is just wierd. I've never held a real Unertl so maybe that is normal.
I'm still a few weeks away from getting it mounted. I need to get a custom rear block from Steve Earl to match the Bubba scope mounting holes in my receiver and then work up the nerve to drill and tap the barrel.
