Clearidge is not a discount brand. It is a new scope being imported and sold by The Optic Zone, and is reported to be made by the same place that makes many of the other higher end Japanese scopes. As reported earlier, they offer a lifetime transferrable warranty. The Optic Zone is a sponsor on several forums and the owneris a stand up guy. I bought a Bushy 4200 from them and was very pleased with both the price and the service.

The scopes sound very nice, but even their lowest cost model is more than I usually want to pay for a scope. The scopes are marketed as similar in quality as the Monarch, 4200, etc. but at a slightly lower price.
