I don't get the whole copy scope thing.

Original No. 32's are available, they are out there, you just have to spend a bit of time looking. Over the last three years I have grown my collection to 5 scopes.

The price of a good Original No.32 is in line with most other contemporary Military Scopes. Mine have all cost between $300 and $2000.

The cost of having a No.32 overhauled through Fultons, is very fair given the time and skill involved.

If a decent quality mass-produced scope, such as a Leupold, costs $500 to $1000, how can you expect to get the same level of quality in a low volume copy scope, made goodness know where, being sold for the same price?

A decent scope is expensive to build. Precision machining and quality optics don't come cheaply. You only get what you pay for.

To me it's a bit like buying a fake Rolex and expecting the same quality and performance.
