I have one of the ones that were made fairly recently (under the "Dusk & Dawn" moniker) but are now discontinued again. These were made in Korea. I wanted the straight tube for a Savage 24 .22 Mag/20ga just because it looked better. I have nothing but good to say about it for the $30 (new in box) I paid for it on Ebay. Of course I have a different set of standards for what I expect of a scope to go on a knock-about rimfire small game gun than I do for a centerfire big game rifle. I could give a rat's A$$ about light gathering on this gun but the scope is clear, adjustments are precise and it holds zero. Can't ask much more than that of it. I'd have no qualms of buying one of the earlier Jap models for similar money if it's in good shape.
