Scope stuff

[fernie kazam]

How Expensive does a scope have to be before it is not classed as a "cheap scope". I've just bought a nikko strirling nighteater 3.5-10x42 and it seems to have all the "Big" features:Grade “A” fully multicoated lenses with MICROLUX ETE coatings, One piece body for strength, rigidity and improved accuracy
Saddle parallax adjustment from 10m to infinity
Stylish “built in” sunshade
Fast focus eyepiece
Waterproof as each scope is tested to 1.5m
Shock tested more than 200 times to the equivalent of 240kg!
Nitrogen filled for fog proofing
These scopes retail here in Australia for around $210 and all my friends who have rifles has got a least one Nikko. They also have a lifetime Gaurantee and won the NRA award best optic. Why don't any Americans seem to like them saying that there cheap and rubbish??:confused:

I try not to speak of things that I have no experience with. But most Americans treat things the same, if it is not expensive, it is not worth having. All I can say is I own scopes in worth from $20 to $1400 and it just depends on what you like and how it performs for you. If everybody was the same there wouldn't be but one, right. This is just my opinion. Hope your Nikko gives you years of use. :)

Not knowing a thing about them and never having used one, I googled up their web site.

Why are they still showing their 2006 catalog and data sheets? Not very encouraging.
