Osprey International

Hey guys, just figured I'd post this up here... was at the Ag Hall gun show yesterday and took a look at some Osprey Int'l scope... VERY nice, I was impressed, and the price tag is very affordable. I picked up 2 4x32mm scopes, about 45 each, lifetime warranty regardless of why its damaged.

They appear to be made much better then similar scopes in this price range (Bushnell.. etc) and they have some very nice full rifle scopes, including lighted crosshair adjustable scopes under 150.

they are worth a look!

Yeah I just heard about this company and it seems that it may be a good scope. I just wish I could look at it before I buy considering that no place around me sells any different brand scopes. But then again I have found that you get what you pay for. So I would like to hear some reviews if anyone has any to offer. I was looking at there 10x40 50mm rangefinder scope.

Actually they are selling a few select models here:

I just ordered the 3x12 x 56 for my new 30.06.

http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=453841 is the one you were looking at... for 130 its hard to go wrong and they definately looked fine... granted I didn't look at it in the 200+ yard range but...

When looking at these at the show they are extremely clear, they also have a 100% lifetime warranty so no matter what happens send it back and it will either be replaced or fixed.

While in the gun show I could look across the building (through both rooms) and easily make out details of items on the wall, a good 100+ yards away.

The lighted crosshairs are excellent, very adjustable to ensure it isn't to bright.

I have a 4x32 on my pellet gun now, its performing excellent, over 150 shots so far and no sign of it being damaged.

They also have hand adjustable adjustment knobs instead of needing a screw driver (they have lock screws as well). They come up with pop-up lense covers which are also removable. OVerall I'm extremly satisfied, their quality appears to be WAY beyond the standard bushnells, BSA, ... etc that most people use for affordable scopes.

I'm not sure if the owner was just blowing smoke up my ass but he said the NRA Magazine was giving them a cover in the near future, Cheaperthendirt had ordered several thousand of their scopes along with Sportsmans Guide. They had received excellent reviews from several magazines and were aiming for some serious mainstream pushes before hunting season.

I was really impressed by the gun, he didn't try to hide anything (they are assembled in China but no parts from there) and was very firm with his warranty. I showed a buddy of mine the scopes (he was there) and he picked one up. between me and my 2 buddies we bought all the 4x32's he had left for our .30-30's
