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

A tad more pretentious, but yes, very clear.

Holds a zero - yes. But not the best quality optics. I had a bugger of a time getting an half decent picture on my 204. Either the reticle was in perfect focus or the target, not both. I returned it, no questions asked and my second one is better. This is on a 4 -12 varmint unit. Can't think of the exact model.
One thing I did notice was that the parallax adjustment made much more of a difference on the quality of the view through the scope than on other scopes I have used. You have to use it and can't just keep it on infinity. My budget 4X9 tasco has better optics.
They work pretty well for what you pay, but I'll pay more next time.
My two cents

Had one on my .22. 3 to 6 power was good, then POI changed at 6. Sighted in for that and it was good up to 9. Dial it down and POI changed. The next POI was the garbage can. Didn't even bother with warranty. Bought a Leupold.

The cross eyed dude on wild tv says they're good. That's enough for me to never buy one...

Only mediocre glass quality and function. Had one on my .204 and left it on the gun when it was traded in. Would not buy one again.
