The continuing sales on riflescopes—the reason(s)?
I never paid much attention to sales on scope sights in the past, so perhaps it’s not all that strange, but it certainly seems that way to me now.
If I had to guess, it would be in part caused by the success the Chinese are having to drive optics manufacturers in other countries out of business. I watch a lot of shooting-related videos, and if one includes any mention of a riflescope, it’s almost always a Chinese brand that’s being extolled for its features and price.
But enough moaning about one more thing I cannot affect. If we’re needing/wanting a new scope, there are some great deals, such as those offered by EuroOptic. If I didn’t already have three of the SAI 6 1-6×24mm LPVO scopes, I would definitely snap one up at the prices they’re being offered for now (maybe I should anyway; my old 77/22 could use an upgrade ).

I just ordered a Burris 2x-7x scout scope from Euro Optic. Great price!

And now my 77/22 won't be scopeless. I shouldn't read my own posts.

They certainly do. I bought 2 Minox scopes at half off or better during their main Black Friday event.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

With these sales, if you're in the market for a scope, this might be a good time to get one. I for one am not going to dwell on the reasons.
I got a Bass Pro Shops flyer and one item it shows is the Vortex Strike Eagle, 1-8x, first focal plane for $299. FFP typically adds about a C-note to the price. I have one of these in second focal plane. I haven't worked with it very much yet.This message has been edited. Last edited by: egregore,
