Just curious...

Is it safe Bucky buying these scopes again?

Depending on what you mean by safe.

They are good scopes.  I am not a big fan of their latest and greatest, but the 4-16x56 and 3-12x56 are excellent and 6-24x72 is still the king of low light.

At the right price, yes.

I have a 3-12x56 and it is among my favorite all-around scopes. A friend has the 6-24x72 and it is huge- and great in any light.
If there is ever a problem.with it, service might be a challenge.

The reason I ask is - a couple of years back, when Cassidian came into the picture - there was a bunch of us who got Hensoldts that were duds.

I still have mine - it still leaves a bitter $3000 aftertaste and some lingering mistrust of a certain vendor.

Wow, that would certainly be upsetting.

I did have to send mine in to Hudisco long ago, and they thoroughly screwed up the whole process; but when the scope came back, it was perfect.

I'm not sure who services them now.
