Khyber optics?

[Hnthrdr]

Hey guys came across some scopes that appear to be pretty interesting. Khyber optics, they are an American company importing Japanese glass, they stand on durability, they seem to have the right weight to be scopes that should retain zero, only thing is it looks only like MOA for now. I emailed to ask if they have plans for Milrad. They are priced really well. Has anyone tried any? I might have to grab one and beat it up a bit, but would be a great competitor to swfa. Just wondering if anyone has seen these as well.

I'll be the devil's advocate here.... Japanese glass does NOT mean that the scope is Japanese manufactured, and an American company has nothing to do with anything. Arken is an American company with chinese scopes with Japanese glass... Mueller is an American company with chinese scopes with Japanese glass... Swamp Fox is an American company with chinese scopes.... Blackhound is an American company with chinese scopes... At the prices on the Khyber website, those scopes are made in China too. Toss in Vortex, Burris, and Bushnell.... all American companies with Chinese scopes in their lines.

@Hnthrdr if you buy one we can drop test it with the setup I usually use.

Oh no I completely agree, I’m not pumping them up one way or another, I hey do seem like an attractive option incredible price point but none of it matters if they don’t hold zero and dial correctly

I might grab a 3-9 and I’ll get it to you for some testing, baby # 3 is only 1.5 months old so field time is at an all time low these days haha

That's definitely got the form factor and feature set I'd be up for. The reticle would be better with solid outer bars, as long as the center section isn't too fine. Wish the eye relief was better though.

The scope body and reticle look like Vortex Viper copycats. I’d have no problem with that if they actually work like they’re supposed to.
