BSA has really good customer services as well. Everyone talks about them being junk, but mostly people that say that have never owned and only buy 300 dollar scopes. Optically they are not as good as a more expensive scope, but they don't cost nearly that much either. I have owned more than a few of them and never had any problems with them.

I had buddy buy one for this upcoming gun season and he had a problem with his. Rather than take it back he called BSA directly. They said the one he has is back ordered, so he could pick any scope from thier catalog he wanted and they would rush it to him. Then when the other scope came in they would send it along. He was told he could keep both scopes free of charge for his inconvenience. That's not a bad deal, especially since he already has a leupold to use on it any way. He just liked the BSA Catseye better? Ya, I don't get it either. I'm not a huge leupold fan, but I do think they are better than any BSA made. I just can't afford them is all.

And the guys at cabela's told me what companies make thier scopes for them, there were several. Nikon being one of them. They even showed me comparable models from name brand companies. They are japanese companies though, mine even says it on the scope I think. They just don't know which models are which is all, because there are so many. Now if all the japanese scopes like bushnell and nikon and the such come from the same manufacturer than they could all be the same for all I know. You never know these days. My Sebring is a chrysler suposedly, but it is actually a Mitsibushi with a different badge on it. Funny thing is it is made in Illinois not japan? Now my neon was a dodge but was made in canada? Go figure right.

All I know is I have one and looked at several and they are decent scopes for the money. Could you get better, heck yeah, just not for the same money in my opinion.
