Cheap Chinese and Brilliant

[Pureblood]

These are without doubt the best scopes I ever used, wonderful glass with all the bells and whistles and they are tough. The most expensive one I have cost $160 Canadian, or $117 USD.

In past times I used nothing but Leupold scopes.

Why does this read like an influencer video

I thought scary black rifles were banned in Canada.

Not giving up my Leupold on my designated long range Remington 700 rifle….ever. Now ask me if I want to upgrade the current reticle and the answer yes.

Chinese production fecal matter not for me.

Good for you PB. I need one cheap scope so I'll take a look, however, I'm surprised that China did the research to put the "S" as the first character and not the last in Spina !

Came here to say this, but also I have seen reviewers show spina is one of the Chinese manufacturers that Low end American manufactures rebrand and sell for 10x markup.

Now for apples to apples comparison on the American market: is there a lifetime warranty?

There was a time when inexpensive glass didn't mean cheap glass. Bushnell for example. I still have some and love them.

Now shrewd so-called manufacturers are selling cheapo overseas crap glass with tacti-features at intermediate scope prices. 150-200 bucks. And they're falling apart. Paper thin main tubes made from aluminum foil and chewed bubble gum that dent easily. Complete junk. Buy them from China for 20 bucks, sell them 200 and include a great warranty. I hate warranties. Great products don't require great warranties.

I miss Nikon. Plain Jane scopes. Plain Jane reticles. That plain work for 250-300 bucks. I have several Pro-Staff 2-7 models. Nikon couldn't compete against low priced garbage.

The worst grainy distorted glass I ever saw was inside a 500 dollar Leupold.

Something isn’t tracking 100% with this one. Add this to his first post about the “Federal Government went after him but he won in court with his ‘old woman’ at his side”, then posting a video the following day claiming that’s why they went after him.

Maybe it’s just me, but we've had a number of “unusually salacious” posts from brand new members recently. A new guy allegedly from Saskatchewan, Canada (?) commenting on Maryland firearms laws and situations? Why would he care? Something just feels off about him, tbh. Hope I’m wrong.

Something off with the firearm pictures too. Grainy. Blurry. Too artistic. And no feet. Can't trust a gun pic without toes in it.

I don’t know if he is be or if he isn’t be.

…If he’s Canuckish, that might explain a lot.

I’m in the buy one cry once crowd. Ya get what you pay for. Lastly, the less I spend on Chinese stuff, the less chance I’ll be forced to learn Mandarin in camp.

Either that is some really good AI or he just called us.
