Leapers UTG scopes anyone used em ?

Centerpoint is made by Leapers. Take a good look at it and compare it the the same Leapers scope. There are no two factories that make the same product. Think GMC truck vs. Chevy truck.

How do you think Primary Arms is able to put out an optic at such an affordable price? Its made in China.

BTW, take a close look at your hand held phone/ smart phone/ tablet, its a POS from China.

Everything you said is QFT

I wouldn't say that for ALL their products. Scopes and red dots maybe I never tried them but I have a UTG quad rail on my saiga and its pretty good.

Although I just had a buddy pick up a scope at show. It was a BSA but the crosshairs started to rotate. I never seen that before.

I have used many optics, including Leapers, but never owned one, so I have not experienced the issues first hand, but I was less than impressed with the overall package. For the price they charge, there are other brands worth considering over them. I much rather own a Redfield scope or a Vortex Crossfire which are all in the same price class and offer superior warranty and support over the brands listed. For not too much more one can get a Vortex Diamondback. Warranty and service are important factors to me. The point of this post was to direct the OP to something that would be a better buy, with better resale and warranty should he ever decide to upgrade or even come across an issue.

I had a Leapers 4-16X scope which I returned to them under warranty. They returned to me not only a new scope but a newer model. The scope came from their HQ in Michigan, not China. The whole process took no more than a week and although the rep at Leapers handling it was Chinese, it was handled quickly and efficiently with good communication via e-mail.

However, my last scope, which is a Simmons, is even cheaper than Leapers. Got my 4-16x scope with side parallax adjustment for under $100 plus another 25% mail-in rebate from Simmons. So ya, I do shop around.

I bought a Leapers 4-16x40 recently for ~$65 just to have an extra scope. It has a lifetime warranty. A Redfield 4-12x40 is ~$225. A Vortex Crossfire 4-12x44 is ~$175. Same warranty (I'm assuming the Redfield and Vortex both have a lifetime as well), but definitely not same "price class."

Just sayin'
