pics and more info pleaseFor what it's worth. I have a couple Nightforce scopes, never mounted, that I will be selling under $1,000. And hands down, in my opinion, nothing is better. I have 5 of them and just couldn't do anything else for myself.
This new Arken scope has been getting rave reviews and is a great intro price. Even Rex Reviews likes these.

I don't remember Rex talking about where it is made but here's what I got from Arken for what it is worth ...

Have a look at Steiner scopes.I have a 6.5CM on order and am now researching for a scope to mount on it. The Leupold VX-3i LRP 6.5-20X 50mm looks like about the best one can get for under a grand. I have been a Leupold fan for over 40 years, but I haven't purchased a new scope in decades. I see that there are now many more offerings than there were back when I was in the game. Does anyone have other ideas or suggestions in this price range other than the Leupold model I have focused in on.
