    Anyone had any experience with German Precision Optics ?

    Looking at a couple of their scopes, have read some reviews which seem to say they are bloody good quality and much cheaper than comparable glass, but my only trouble is keen to hear first hand from anyone that has one..... Any thoughts or experience From anyone in here I would be very grateful.
    Looking at their 3x 3-12x42 to go on a .308....

    Not me personally but another guy I hunt with has both GPO rangefinding binos and scope on his main rifle, and rates both very highly (coming from a guy who has previously primarily used the likes of Zeiss and Swarovski etc). In saying that, I think his scope is their highest end model with massive objective.

    A mate has a GPO scope on his rifle. Nice bit of kit. Good optics.

    Sold a few gpo scopes customers seem to like them a lot, compared to compatible scope they are value for money.
