Has an yone ever used the scopes from wonder optics.  I think super snipers are more rugged and the adjustments are better but its a fixed power scope. I would really rather have a variable if the price AND THE QUALITY for the price is right.

I've heard encouraging things about them.  They are new, they seem to have hit-or-miss QC (scopes going out with elevation knob and windage knob on wrong turret, etc) and the glass is said to be good for the price.

They are made in China.  They seem to be very customer-focused, those who have had problems have had them addressed immediately and to their satisfaction.

It is a risk I would not personally take, but you might get a good scope at a great price.

Obviously, don't even consider it for a duty/serious use gun; for a range plinker, go for it and let us know.

 Surfing through the old posts I stumbled through this one and if anyone was interested I could post a review between the WOTAC 10x fixed and the SS 10x fixed power.  I own one of each. If its allowed that is. I would mount them each to my Savage VLP 112 25-06 and see what happens.

You may be a year past the guy who posted needing the info but we always appreciate personal effort regarding info about optics so please tell us what you think about the WOTAC.

I know its old but just thought..........It will take a few days to set it up to do it fair and right,  The SS just got mounted last week and the WOTAC is new also in the box, never opened.

FWIW, the owner of WoTac is named Matt Wonders hence WoTac, Wonder's Tactical. I've sold a lot of these scopes and only one customer had a problem. He was getting some haze at 14x. He called and it was immediately replaced.
 
The 4-14x50 is $330 and that's a heck of a deal for the quality glass you get. I've had it side by side with the Bushnell Elite 3200 and 6500 and it blew the 3200 away but was not quite as nice as the 6500 which isn't bad for half the money.
