What's the Tikka of the optics world?

I have a hard time picturing Tikka going to China for part of their product line, let alone all of it.

too bad Nikon got out of making scopes. I have a monarch 3 that has been excellent and I believe fit nicely into the "punching above it's weight" category for the price point.
I've never been a fan of the Tikka rifles..... people talk so highly about them. The ones I've handled and shot did not seem like the same rifle guys on CGN go on and on about. I've shot 3 different ones now in .308 , .6.5cm and 7mm rem mag. Accuracy wasn't a problem I just don't like how the action feels, comparing to my ruger m77 mkII rifles..... now those are smooth and solid.
I've also been window shopping for a new optic for a bit now and still haven't made a decision. It's for a .338federal build I'm hoping to have done for fall. Using a ruger m77 mkii .308 as the donor action hehehe

I have a Steiner 4-16 predator and i can’t believe they’re selling for 8 or 9 hundred bucks , used.
I find it better that the $2000 + vx5s and the zeiss v4s
And yes , I’ve owed several of both

I just bought a Steiner Predator 4 (6-24x50). My first Steiner.

I was pleasantly surprised how good it was, even bests my Noblex (previously Dr. Optik). The Steiner glass is soooo clear.

Also, for good price that hits higher than weight class, I would also say Arken. I was very pleased for the quality for the price point. The Arken I got was EP5 5-25x56. Shockingly it was cheaper on Amazon than it was in the gun store!

Sightron and Tikka go hand in hand. Peanut butter and jam.

Would it 100% be Meopta? Old brand, high quality stuff. Their B1’s haven’t changed forever (like the t3).
I somehow ended up with 10x42 B1’s 12x50hd’s and a S2 spotter.. they just work
