Aimpoint replicas?

I recently bought a KA aimpoint replica off ebay for around 45$. i got it on saturday and it turned out it isn't parallax free, which was basically why i wanted something aimpointish. I'm going to send it back for a refund.. *sigh* hong kong... and i also saw a G&P aimpoint replica on ebay. I was wondering if the G&P one was parallax free, and if not, is there any parallax free rds for under 50$?

It's no aimpoint replica, but I have a Leapers red/green dot scope with its own 20mm rail mounts that I got for $35 plus tax/importation/etc... from AirsoftGI

It actually looks much cooler than that picture leads you to believe. Both windage and elevation adjustment is easy and the scope is pretty damn accurate for plinking (my carry handle rail hasn't yet arrived so I can't use it effectively yet in a game).

Im not quite sure but I think you may have to bite the wallet and put out a little more than 50 for the one you need. Unfortunetly I dont think replicas do much aside from there name. They only give the faux appearance of their real functioning counter parts.

well most of the aimpoint replicas are advertised with parallax free, but the company i got it from, wasnt, even though it was advertized differently. G&P is probably a more reputable company, and i guess they never mentioned the word "replica"

Actually you can get that replica for 75$...
But well like you said, it's still an hong kong replica.

Im talking here about the one you saw from G&P.
It's still an hong kong manifactured product but 75$ isn't that bad and it looks sick too ^^

Yes I own this aimpoint and can tell you that it is parallax free as stated. I actually purchased mine last year so I have the model beneath the one listed, but all in all it is almost identical. I have no problems with it....
