I have the binos they make. Got them last year and they have been great. In fact, my buddy liked them so much he dumped his Bushnell Elite binos and bought himself a pair of the Scorpion. So if that is any indication of quality, I might be putting on a scope on one of my rifles.

that little phrase "made in china" tells me all I need to know. whether its optics, quads, furnitute...well anything other than koo loo pork really....made in china isn't synonymous with quality. even on the koo loo, id rather have a Chinese guy make that in Canada.....

I have looked through some of their products, but I wasn't at all impressed. Then again, it's very rare that I am impressed by any product that is made in China.

You missed the question in the OP's thread, not your thoughts and perceptions is the appropriate answer. Have you used these optics?

used?....no. I have a job and can afford decent gear. looked through and laughed at....yes I have.

in that price range, I would take my chances with bushnell. they have at least been in this game long enough to understand how low quality can go before people stop buying it. on the high end of bushnell, they make decent stuff for the price.

is that a satisfactory response for you?

The question asked for feedback....which also means opinion and I am sure ISB's opinion on them is clearer than the optics we are discussing
