[QUOTE="GMB54, post: 5215074, member: 15365"] I tend to avoid Chinese made optics but there are literally tons of excellent Japanese made scopes i would put against any Loopie of a similar price. What they offer today aint like the old VXIIIs in build quality but the glass might be better on some. It surely is not on the Freedom line of scopes. I shoot mostly harder kicking muzzle loaders and there are so many better scopes for my application. I love the weight and eye relief you get from many Loopies but the newer scopes just dont track as well or tolerate the abuse as well. I would have to move upto a VX5HD to get what i want in a Loopie and that is $850-1000 or more. My Razor HD LH cost less than half that much on clearance and optically its just as nice as the VX5HD. Its just as tough or tougher. Other than the nicer turrets it compares extremely well but you wont ever see the VX5HD 2-10x42 on sale for $500. [/QUOTE]
