Some time ago I happened across a guy in the Wellington area (the Hutt I think) who was selling Chinese made scopes that were well spec'ed at good prices - it was a side business and the scopes were the only thing he sold . . . but now I'm dammed if I can find his website or recall his name, does anyone have any ideas??
Dont do it bro,
You get what you pay for when it comes to that sort of thing.
Hi Foster,
I've got a spare one of these Leepolds at home.
Bought two hand the other is mounted on a 22WMR
Attachment 131312
Mate I drive a Chinese ute and have got a clone husqvarna chainsaw chinese made they are experts at copying everything ..... ask yourself they landed a man on the far side of the moon Trump and his cohorts haven't managed that.
Thats the problem alright, they make some very good stuff, and I'm happy to pay a fair price for it. However out here we have a lot of unscrupulous middlemen who buy up low spec'ed stuff and market it here with huge mark-ups. So its not the Chinese who are ripping us off . . . .Quote:

i have been using somw chinese scopes. one of them is a 2-16x44. have used it for a year now. pretty good in all aspectz. was about 400 nzd new
New slogan "Made in China, or not made at all" haha.......
I am not sure I would call those "Cheap". I have a japanese made Nikko Stirling Diamond target scope here 10-50x 60mm with the AO saddle with the big wheel to adjust it for the same price as the chinese 10-50. Yes it may be a Nikko but the diamonds (japanese ones) are still dam good scopes.Quote:

I think everything is in for a big slow down
Iether that or it comes with a face mask and tissues:o:XD:
"The chinese built a spaceship, so this cheap scope from china must also be of mission critical quality!" Doesn't work like that..maybe if you had the company that built a spaceship build you a scope it might be superb quality? But then its not going to be cheap.Quote:

They will obviously not put the same effort, resources, QC time etc (quality) into making cheap scopes for overseas buyers as they will sending their astronauts to space on a hundred million dollar space ship while trying to get them home again safely as well.
As with most things - you generally get what you pay for. That said you can certainly get quality from China if you are willing to pay.
