maybe they "fell off the back of a truck"...
Better yet, they got them from Gander when they 1st started their discount. They were selling the scopes at 70% off for about 2 days before they realized the mistake. Brother said some guy had a shopping cart leveled with (leupold) scopes that day.
I got one six months ago and Love it. the 5-25Barra FT 5-25x50 second plane, reticle duplex mildot,side focus, 10 yards to infinity. Made in Japan. It doesn’t say it in the listing but Barra optics is going out of business according to one customer on amazon. I sent a email asking the question Three days ago and no response. Their high end scopes were made in Japan by Japan Light Optics. I own two of these scopes and they are amazing. They also have a 2.5x 10-44 that retailed for $900. That one is going for $99. There also is a 1.5-8x32 scope that varies in price. $100 to $127. It retailed for $800. Not a lot of any of the scopes left. Some of the same scopes are listed for more. So make sure to look at all the listings.
Ditto.I got 3 of them, as clear and crisp as any scope I own. "disclaimer I don't have any 1000.00 scopes" but do have nikon, burris, redfield, primary arms, vortex, miaopta etc and it keeps up or beats them all.
