scorpion optics

Here's a question for all of you. Back in the 80's a company by the name of Nikko Sterling was marketing a line of inexpensive scopes in Canada; especially for the price they where very good scopes with a good warranty.
Fast forward to today, we now have a company called Scorpion optics marketing scopes at a very good price compared to others.
I'm nirnally a Leupould or Weaver kinda guy, but I keep my mind and my pocketbook open to new brands that might be selling quality out of proportion to their cost.
I'm not interested in the condemn it because it's inexpensive crowd, or the armchair crowd that probably has very little experience whatsoever, but I do want to hear positive and negative from actual users.
They have multiple lines and multiple scopes in each line, so when you chime in try to describe the actual scope that you are giving input about. These guys are a marketer and not a manufacturer, so scopes might not be made in the same factory.

I cant speak to their high power scopes but I have a 4x BDC reticle 22 scope on my savage mk2. worth every penny of the 50 bucks I paid. came with machined aluminum rings instead of stamped rings. parallax is noticable under 25 yards but your so close it doesnt really matter. at 50 yards it allows me to shoot 3/8 inch groups. very nice bright clear picture, crosshairs a little thick but Ive used it during plus 30 summer time to minus 25 winter with no issues. Also as a side note they were at a gun show nearby and my friend had one there their scopes that he bought new with a messed up o ring on the turret cap. He took it to them and they handed him a new scope on the spot and took his old one. they're not a leupold at tasco prices but both of us are happy with them.
