Just a couple of comments about GPO. They are not all China junk. All the ones I have seen have been Phillipine.
It is a bit misleading that their name is German Precision Optics. It can confuse those who just buy a name. When I first saw one at a LGS, I asked the young salesman where they are made. He looked at me like I was the dumbest person on earth and said,"Germany." I said I highly doubt that and I asked to see it, flipped it over and it clearly stated "Made in the Phillipines." I told him he ought to know a more about products he sells. I bought one a few weeks later just to try. I have been impressed. It is not up to Swarovski standards though.
