Since my new Weatherby Vanguard in .257 Whby. Magnum is intended as my truly long range rifle I wanted to be 100% certain I had the scope aligned perfectly.
To this end I bought a B-Square Crosshair Square, product number T1001.
THIS THING IS A POS. JUNK to be nice but blunt.
It fits fairly well in the back of receiver and lays on the flats there if you hold it in place. So squaring it with action shouldn't be that much trouble. But it is nearly impossible to see the line on it and the crosshairs in relation to each other to do a proper alignment. Still I worked with it a long time and finally felt confident that it as as square with the world as possible and that both the mark on it and the crosshairs lined up. Carefully tightened all down and rechecked. Yup still look in alignment. This took dang near 45 minutes to do what I normally do in less than five minutes.
So I took it to an area where I could plumb the rifle perfectly and checked crosshairs against a known perpendicular line. Back to the drawing board. Cross hairs were tilted.
On the package it clearly says:
YOUR SATISFACTION IS GUARANTEED.
Yeah right what a lie. I called and told them of the problem. Asked for my money back. Nope that's not an option. Will replace it. Now what good will it do to replace one piece of crap with another same piece of crap? They will give me a credit to buy something else directly from them. Yeah fat chance of that happening again.
So beware of B-Square. Seems their Guarantee isn't worth the cost of the ink to print it. And this is NOT the first of their products I've reviewed and found sadly lacking in quality. But I believe it will be the last as I don't think I'll be buying anymore. Would rather spend my money on quality merchandise and with folks who actually honor their warranty.
So while this gets me not one red cent of the money I spent back I sincerely hope it costs B-Square a great many dollars in lost sales for their lack of Customer Service and refusal to honor a warranty.
When folks do good I praise them. When they do bad I tell you that too. B-Square did BAD.
