Firefield Reproduction Mosin-Nagant rifle scopes

[Aragorn243]

Sportsman's Guide came today with a new entry, a Firefield brand reproduction scope with mount to fit the 91/30 or the SVT-40. Price is $147.97 which is a lot less than any other repro scope or real one for that matter that I've ever seen.

But that obviously has me wondering about quality, etc. Did some research and found another Firefield brand scope that had very favorable reviews but nothing on this particular model.

Cannot locate country of manufacture or warranty information. If it's legit, the price is right for me to fix up an ex-sniper I have.

Anyone have any experience with these?

The scope looks ok but the mount looks rougher than original mounts that I've seen. I still have not been able to locate where these are made but I suspect they may be Chinese knockoffs.

I would think they are Chinese. Maybe they're good though, have to wait for a review. Would make for a cheaper replisniper.
