Quote:Quote: Ripp is spot on. The good news is that the Chinese knock offs are most always junk and corporate theft should NOT be supported. The copyight infringement and theft issues aside, the OP has indicated that the scope is for a Sako .30-06 so I’m really curious as to why one would put crap glass on such a quaility and highly accurate rifle? A Sako rifle here starts at a price point of $2k CDN, and there is general shooting sport concensus that suggests one should spend an equivalent amount of money on a scope as one would spend on the rifle. So why would one put a questionable piece of glass on such a nice rifle? I would agree as has also been suggested that a cost effective and quite field acceptable alternative to the eye popping expensive Euro glass would be to buy a Leupold or a Zeiss Conquest. Being an owner of both I tend to favor Leupold over the cheaper Conquests or even the Swaro Z3 line.... I believe that the Leupold is the more cost effective and higher quality for the money when one isn’t able or willing to buy a good high end Zeiss, Swaro, or Leica scope. Personally I generally try to buy top end when I can afford it and I buy Leupold as my minimum benchmark for my bush guns, truck guns, .22 rifles and even my new fangled FX pneumatic pellet gun. I simply hate to fight with junk equipment. No different than I hate to fight with junk tools when trying to do a job. Speaking of which, junk in tools = Chinese sourced. |
