Arken is made by the Chicoms, reason enough to hate them
So is most of the shit in your house, your car, and the phone or laptop you typed your response on... I guess you'd better throw all that shit away, too. Also, you do realize that some of the parts in alpha-tier scopes are made in China, as well, right? Like rubber o-rings, small plastic pieces, screws, etc... So, your alpha-tier SCHOTT glass German optic, still smells a bit like fried rice...
Nobody likes the CCP, but it is what it is, when it comes to manufacturing. EVERY COMPANY ON EARTH buys some parts or something made in China for their products. Buying a scope from an American company, when their scopes are MIC, is literally no different than shopping at Walmart. Don't be a hypocrite.
I didn't say I don't buy shit from China that's your spin.So is most of the shit in your house, your car, and the phone or laptop you typed your response on...

You realize that the optics manufacturing trade in China is like 0.001% (or less) of their overall manufacturing in that country, right? It's such a small portion their overall manufacturing, it really makes virtually zero effect on their economy, whether people buy MIC optics, or not. Especially when compared to ALL the other shit they make that people all over the world buy.
It's hard to tell through text... That's why we use emojis.I was trying to be funny
Plus, with all the Arken hate, it's hard to tell who's serious and who's not.
When I first started in this game I bought lots of “budget” option optics, spent a lot of money and time and was never really satisfied. Eventually I just decided to invest money on good “alpha” glass and ever since I have been a big proponent of buy once cry once when it comes to optics, now I understand not everyone’s budget is the same and one should live within their means but I still wouldn’t buy an Arken or any “just as good” optics. And just so it’s clear I don’t hate Arken or give two shits if it was manufactured in china or not, the issue for me is that the quality and reliability are not there and in the optics game that’s really all that matters.It's hard to tell through text... That's why we use emojis.
Thanks for the input. My LGS has a new in box one for $375 that's why it's on my list
