I have purchased two Barra Hero MP rifle scopes for under $200 dollars. The retail price was $699.95.
They are side focus FFP scopes. They went into business and imported these scopes in 2015. They just don't have the name yet and now seemed focus on lower to mid range priced scopes. I did some research and there seems to be only two companies in Japan that manufactures scopes these days. Of course they make scopes for everybody but themselves. I noticed that the seller on ebay is located in the same city as the Barra optics company. I called after I purchased and yes it is the company selling at a different address as not to upset dealers when they discount their scopes so drastically. They also import and sell a lot of phone cases, watch cases, and tablet cases. Their prices on amazon for scopes are much higher than what they sell for on eBay. Their warranty is the same Burris and Vortex. Life time transferable and no receipt required. I also purchased two other models. The 6-26x50 and their 12-60x56 model. I would compare them to my Vortex Viper scopes for quality. The one thing I like better is the clarity of the Barra scopes over the vortex viper. Even thought they both have excellent turrets I would say the vortex are a little nicer. Light transmission is over 95% according to their website. They are located in a suburb city of Atlanta GA. I have no financial connection to this company so I'm just trying to spread the word to my fellow gun forum friends.
