Black Diamond Optics 5-25x56mm. I am looking for any info or experience with these scopes. For around $700 they look like a bargain. I know what you are thinking, so am I. Just want some honest evaluations of this scope. Thank you for any info.
 
Look very similar to Bushnell forge. A lot of decent scope made in China now, look at Athlon, great products for way lower price tag for what you get. A very good option is the Bushnell Lrhs-i 4.5-18 that ga precision sells. 1500$ scope for 750$.
 
Ive had one before. Pretty decent glass for the money. I had a 3-15. This was 4 years ago when I had one. One thing I did not understand and didnt like it, was it had moa/mil moa turrets mil ret. I do believe that you can get better turrets for the money, per say the Bushnell as up top was mentioned or the vx5hd or the lrp. This was 4 years ago, so they could've updated some things.

Definitely not bad for the money though. I personally would go another route. All up to what you desire.

Who's on first?

I would like to know where the glass is made and where the components are made.

It seems like it.
seems nobody knows much about these scopes here or on the web,the little i can find has been positive from the people who own them,i got 200 off on mine so after seeing how good the glass is i went for it,my new savage 110 6.5 CM comes Monday and that is what i will be mounting it on.I have seen scopes that cost twice this that don't have as good glass as this scope has.
