As he types on his "Made in China" computer or phone.
After the first shot the rest are just noise.

As he types on his "Made in China" computer or phone. BIG DIFFERENCE FROM PUSHING BUTTONS ON A KEYBOARD OR TOUCHSCREEN VS TOUCHING A TRIGGER As most of us know we really don't have a choice I'm some Chinese made items but I damn sure do on my scopes Didn't mean to offend anyone who uses them I just will not be using one on any firearm I own

As he types on his "Made in China" computer or phone. This is the "hunting optics" forums. Could care less where your computer, phone or your old ladys dil do came from. some things you have many choices and some you dont . When it comes to optics we have many choices. Some people need to wake up and pay attention to whats going on

back to the reason I posted. I just can't trust a Chinese scope. They may be some that are. Dryer than others. But again I can't and won't go there

Some day you may get to see a Chinese soldier through your Chinese scope. Wouldn't that be ironic?
The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me.

Buying a an Athlon 2-12 scope, nearly perfect for open country coyote hunting over the only other two I could find Leupold and Swarovski saves me $1300 to $1500 or in other words 400-500 gallons of gas to be out hunting on and neither of the high priced ones will do anything more for me than the Athlon(a US owned company) will do. You can sit home and fondle your scopes, I'll be out hunting.
