Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics My First Scope From China

Easy, now.

'Don't worry about it. Besides, who cares what the riff raff say's?

I've had several Chinese scopes and NO complaints -
Once you get used to the slanted eyepieces.

Let talk scope mounts... lol

What about Canadian Boomers? They gotta be the worst 😜

LOL

Sure, let’s do it. I’ll be ordering a set of rings right away here, and they’ll be made in the USA...

After using 2 pairs of Vortex binoculars during the 2020 deer season I promptly sold all my vortex scopes. I lost all faith in that company.

Good man!

I have two custom actions made in Canada and a dozen Canadian triggers.

Vortex is a very good marketing company and sponsors a lot of "serious hunting shows" so their products must be hardcore.


P.S and I have purchased just a few Razor bins in the past, no more.

When 3 out of the 4 eyecups fall off with screws missing that’s was a sign. These weren’t the cheap ones either. Great warranty and all but I don’t want to have to use it on every product I buy.

I have a Chinese Vortex crossfire II on my crossbow and it works good. I bought a Hawke crossbow scope for it first and sent it back because it was junk {fast focus eye piece way too loose and wobbly}. It's tough to find a crossbow scope that isn't made in China. I also have a couple of cheap Chinese Simmons scopes on .22 LR plinkers and they too work well. All of my hunting rifles have scopes made in USA {Leupold}, Japan {Weaver, Bushnell Elite} or the Philippines {Nikon} but I can't justify spending much on a scope for a cheap plinker.

There aren't any. All dead.

Government healthcare, eh?

... and pretty much you'll never go wrong. Like the 30-06, Leupold is a benchmark.

For many years my go to scope was the Leupold Var-X III 3x10x50 with heavy duplex. I have them on several rifles and really like them for early and late hunts. They don't make them anymore. So I bought couple of the 3ci's 3x10x50 with "heavy duplex" which is a lie. It's a thin duplex and an inferior scope to my old vari-x III's. As we can shoot deer from 1 hour before sunrise to 1 hour after sunset.........So I am migrating toward Meopta. Their Meopro and Meostar are (in My eyes and usage) superior to The current line of Leupold scopes in the same price range.

Oh, the whorer. Please Rick, delete the hurtful words!

Chink chink chink chink chink chink chink......

Heard a knowledgeable biblical scholar once, make a very good case that the original text of the Bible, where it refers to “taking the Lord’s name in vain”, is NOT referring to the commonly assumed “cussing” but to those who use the Lord’s name for their own selfish ends. Such as is so commonly done by controlling & mercenary “Holy Rollers” who use the Biblical quotes & the Lord’s name to enrich themselves & make people do what “they” would like people to do, with little or no regard to actual biblical intent.

Not saying cussing is good & when it includes God or Jesus it is certainly disrespectful, maybe even blasphemous but that’s not as bad as the folks who claim to speak for the Lord who are just trying to use him to feather their own nest. Special place in hell for those manipulative scum.

Anyway, God loves Leupold! (& the higher end Vortex)

andrews ......... never apoligize ........especially to these mutts.

FYI .... China has a lock on the raw glass blocks sold to almost if not all scope manufacturers.

Weren't most of these posts sent from Chinese electronics?
The hypocrisy runs strong here.

They produce a pretty good virus too.. for what it's worth.

Or not. Some of us avoid chinese crap to the greatest practicable extent. I am very consistent on that.
