Not exactly grin
For $219.00? They ripped off tangent theta's style. I wonder if they're made in Texas? (Grin)

They pass through to port of houston on the cargo ship straight from shanghai
They are supposed to be as good as Nightforce, maybe even as good as Athlon.

$219... That’s more than a fake Leupold.
It's a new company started by the janitor at tract and the assistant human resources manager from tasco. All the research and development is done here in the USA. Glass is suppose to be on par with Nikon's buckmasters series and almost as good as pentax's whitetails unlimited, Rocky mountain elk foundation edition. They cut out the middle man and sell direct to the consumer through their Facebook page.
I hear they have the same erectors as the Simmons Aetec, but no the Japanese ones. They were built for a government contract, but they were actually too good.

Sounds like a solid financial bet. Would you recommend these for a $10K hunt to Africa?

For sure, buy 2 or 3... just like the nosler forum post... a forum for $1500+ rifles and some dingaling puts a $200 scope on a $500 tikka with windage adjustable rings, about a half inch higher than he can get a cheek weld on, compares it to a $600 vortex and calls it good before firing a shot under it by comparing the glass at high noon on full sun day...

Dummasses should go back to posting cat videos on the internet... Gun forums have gotten too cool.
The janitor??????

Ain't no different than some of the other threads I've seen posted here lately by some yahoos singing the praises of these other Chinese scopes that's come on the market recently...
Too early to tell. We won't know until one has been dropped several times and has at least 10000 rounds under its belt.

Incorrect.
Somebody forgot the ol' " rumor is, they could possibly be made by LOW in Japan! They can't confirm or deny because of proprietary industry confidentiality marketing agreements" that you see in every thread on optics of dubious origin and manufacture.
