    Why would any one buy wooden gloves from China? Crossfire11's are made in China so the chance is that they are the real deal the factory probably overruns orders
    from Vortex and flogs them on Aliexpress

    They were 1 dollar and free shipping so why not? If they're gonna be used in the bush they'll get cut up.

    I see.

    If they were over runs if that is possible they would be offered to dealers at lower prices, as you see at the Sika show, all the left overs were offered around the country, at lower prices, I was shown a lovely Carl Zeiss from Alieexpress, firstly Zeiss only put Zeiss on there scope, but on the upside it's the only scope that would adjust diagonally.
