Anyone put any of these airsoft clones on their 15-22? If so how well does it hold a zero?

Yes I have, mine held zero fine and it's for sale. I will post details later if you are interested. I have an ACOG replica.
I did a lot of searching and found lots of ACOG replicas that you had to purchase out of HongKong and they come with illegal trade markings and they are nearly $200 on ebay. I wasn't fond of that idea. I found one locally and it was as nice as the more expensive clones but it did not have trade markings. I took a crap shot so to speak, because I had no idea how good it would be. Turns out it held zero fine through many rounds and I was able to remove it and put it back on a week later, go to the range and was right back where it should be.
But also understand "most" of these are just no magnification (1 Power) red dot scopes inside an ACOG type housing. I would say mine is as good as the Bushnell trophy for less money. It's kind of hard to screw up a no magnification optic.

Don't understand ... an EOTech is not an ACOG - which do you want? Either?

Yea, I know they are two different makes. Sorry for the confusion. DealExtreme is selling both. Just wondering if they were decent.

My NBN(tm) (no brand name) M68 CCO copy works well so far. Only a couple of weekends. The extra cost cantilever mount isn't worth the expense. I was hoping to mount the mount on the receiver rather than the front rail (which can move) but that still puts the sight too close to my eye.
No need to remove or fit folding sights if you properly mount the dot sight. Here's an old Tasco ProPoint co-witnessed to the irons. Doesn't look as high-speed, low-drag as the faux-M68 though.
The rifle doesn't care! Your budget may be the critical factor.

Wonder how these would work. Less than $40 bucks with free shipping. I bought some stuff from them before and shipping was about 2 weeks. They have some other cheap items like lasers and bipods. You can make your 15-22 looks nice without spending the $$.

My guess is that they are factory returns?
Are the Acog "clones" really clones or just cheap POS 1x scopes put in a housing that looks like an ACOG?
IMHO it doesn't pay to go cheap on your glass, if you want an ACOG then buy an ACOG, not some counterfiet piece of crap so you can look cool.

reelman,
What do you think they are? a Trijicon A.C.O.G starts at $900 dollars for the low end model and tops out around $1500.00 for the top of the line models. Do you really think that it makes any sense to put a $1500.00 scope on a .22LR? Sure doesn't make any sense to me!
There are some 4x32 ACOG "Clones" out there if you are prepared to spend $200+ then you can get one with magnification. Your guess is as good as mine as to the quality of the magnification at that price tag, but it certainly won't have the clarity of the real deal.
Most of these are 1X Red Dot Scopes that "Look" like an ACOG. It's kind of hard to screw up a RDS considering there is no magnification, you are dealing with straight pieces of glass at the front and back and a parralax corrected lens on the inside. They all look similar to me.. The $149.00+ Bushnell Trophy has no better clarity than the FAKOG I have.
For what it's worth... I wouldn't buy a replica ACOG that says "Trijicon ACOG" on it with part numbers. That's theft of Trademarks and I'm really not interested in companies that steal another manufacturers logo. My Fakeog has the body design of an ACOG (which I like...) and that's it..

I picked it up locally but you can search the net for replica ACOG's some are cheap, some are expensive and some are in the middle. But because most (all) of this stuff comes out of china, you never know what you are going to get.
Here is a link to another fourm. I have delt with the seller a couple of times. He has decent stuff and good prices on clones. I am picking up a 557 clone from him, he mentioned he has a shipment coming in this weekend with a bunch of optics.

I bet US Customs would love to get ahold of this guy! Looks like a lot of patent and copyright infringment on those "scopes".
This guy is a thief plain and simple. In addition his cheap import junk hurts the reputation of companies that have earned their reputations the hard way! He isn't selling replicas or "clones" he is selling counterfeit merchandise and deserves to be in jail IMHO.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with "Clones" as long as the manufacturers went to the original company and worked out a licensing agreement (which does happen often) but the problem with China is that they do not recognize US or World Pattents they don't care, if you put one out of business another will pop up the next day.
I'm not trying to be an ***hat here, but I believe both the sites mentioned in the thread are opening themselves to some potentially severe action. I work for L-3 (we bought EOTech, but I'm not in the EOTech Division) and as a $15B company we take immense pride in the products we produce, sell and service, as well as firm actions to protect our reputation and product lines.
Here's a quote from the L-3 EOTech site: "L3 EOTech trademarks, patents, and many of the product designs are protected by registration.
