Bushnell banner scopes?
Like to here what you guys think on the new banners made by bushnell seem they are coming out of China now?
I like to ask are the bushnell lines of rifle scope all are made in China
I have a new banner with BDC was thinking in mounting it on a 243 cal. but the China part got me thinking how good are they.

i once was a big supporter of the banner series. i bought 3 more CHINESE MADE
recently. one had the crosshairs spinning inside after every shot. another aint holding zero. i sent one in for repair and they said it got lost. I AM NOW AND NOT EVERY BUYING A BUSHNELL BANNER OR ANY OTHER BUSHNELL AGAIN!. there CUSTOMER SERVICE STINKS and DID I SAY THEY STINK
ive been a big supporter of them but no longer. its better to save for a vari x II leupold. if you search enough you can still get them used in great condition for 150-200$. its MONEY WELL SPENT. Recently i sent them a fixed power M8 4x scope i got off ebay for 85$ . they polished the lenses,checked the guts and knocked out a dent on the eye piece. they sent it back in a better box than i sent them in about 2 weeks. they did this all and sent it back UPS shipping FREE!!!!
NOW THATS SERVICE

I have had a Banner on my 270 for about 10 years and it is as good as the day I bought it. It's clear and works great. It has gone through regular huting abuse and still is great. I am looking at buying another, regardless if they are made in China, look at how many everyday products are made their that we use. Plus if it does not hold to your standards, the warranty is always a plus. As far as the Banner scopes go, I would vote yes for them.
