I bought several of the variable Japanese Titans, one 6x Euro-Class, and two 6x world Class Plus scopes at a going out of business sale about 1996. The 30mm Titans and Euro-class were as good as any scope I could find at that time. I still have the 6x42 WCP one inch scopes mounted on Knight muzzleloaders. I sold the Titans and Euro-Class last year on E-bay for a lot more than I paid for them. There is a cult following for the Japanese Titans in particular. I never had one issue with any of these scopes, but optics have improved in the past 15 years, so I've mostly moved on. IMO the newer Chicom Titans are junk!
