The same company that I bring in replicas from, is the manufacturer of scopes for bushnell, leapers, TASCO and a few others. What this really shows is that some people are actually "Trade Name Snobs". This is not to say they didn't get screwed on a product that was poorly made but not everything from china is crap. Turn in your Motorla Cell phones and bluetooth then. About 50% of my business is from LE and Military personnel. What you need to get when purchasing import items is a support network. Purchase from Hong Kong you get nothing if you have a problem.

I heard the Millett scopes are made in China also, which might explain why they are reasonably priced. I got nothing against a good product being made somewhere else as long as the quality is there. I don't wanna waste my money on low quality regardless of where it's made. Labor is cheaper in China so it makes sense that their scopes are cheaper.
