Thanks all. Just spoke to my friend who tells me they're all junk, (bear in mind he favors Zeis or Schmidt & Bender), so he's sending all 3 to remove the contamination from his gun room.
Which is very true. However I have $0 to spend and don't really want to sell something to buy an optic which is just going to be used for fun. Free may not be the the best, but it's cost effective :)
