GPO scopes. Seem a bargain?

[Class870]

Hi. Just come across these scopes. They get very good reviews. 10 year warranty. Built well. Great glass, and lot cheaper than the higher end equivalent. What’s not to like?! Anybody use one or recommend them? Also the binos seems very good as well. I’ve had several cheaper scopes, looking for one that is a keeper.
Thanks

Good question. I don’t honestly know. Germany maybe?

Wetzlar, they are made in the far east then quality controlled in Germany.

I am tempted by their newly introduced 32mm RF binoculars. But they‘re not even on their web site yet. And I have not seen a single REAL report on how good or bad their products are.

I have sold a few of there scopes, probably 12+, customers like them good in low light, zero return is accurate, price is very good.

A mate has one, he is very happy with the quality and picture.

A friend of mine has a set of the range finding binoculars he really rates them so I’d say the scopes be pretty good also.

I have the GPO range finding Bins and find them very clear and accurate.

I have a pair of the 12.5 x 50 binos had them for around 3 years and I find them to be spot on.

German owned, optics made in Japan. The ones I have looked through looked decent, but never owned any. Would like to look through some in low light, but never had the chance.

I am in the market for the Spectra 7.5 x 50 scope as it will be a lot lighter than my Swaro 3-12 x 50.

I have been using a GPO spectra 4-16 for about a year now. I think it is a very capable scope for the money, easily competing with some of the bigger money scopes. Only fault I would say is the illumination dot, bleeds a little bit more light, than some of the more expensive competitors noticeable in the last light stages, but still absolutely useable.

I have shot deer with it, where others have been unable to see the deer. Not saying it’s competing with the 3k price bracket but certainly giving the 1-1.5k a run for their money.

I have finally bit the bullet and bought a Spectre 7.5 x 50 with the G4i reticule.
I am really pleased with the quality, not a light scope at all, has a feel of quality as well and Chrystal clear glass and auto off for the red dot.
I can't see why these are so cheap compared to others of the same quality, perhaps a loss leader to capture the market ?

How do you like the gpo by now? Very little long(ish) term information to be found, would you mind sharing your experience with them?

I’ve had a GPO 3-12x56 for a good while and have been very happy with it. Nice red dot, good in low light, cannot fault it actually.

Got one on 223 cant fault it
