    That tariff is a bargaining chip. Don’t get your hopes up of neckbearding and turning a profit.

    Actually I’m not “hoping or neckbearding” for anything, I’ve got all the scopes/ gear I need.
    What I am saying is it’s a high probability the tariff proposals could impact prices to us ( negatively or positively). How that plays out is anyone’s guess. BUT if some is in the market to buy timing of purchase may be important.

    The tariffs are not going to really change the price of Chinese stuff anywhere but the America, probably will only affect the things imported from America. China is already having a recession so I don't think they would want to lose any more customers. So we should be fine

    New term for an old guy.

    Neckbeard" is a pejorative term and stereotype for an adult man or teenage boy who exhibits characteristics such as social awkwardness, underachievement, or pretentiousness.[1] The term is derived from the neck beard style of facial hair stereotypically associated with young men of more introverted dispositions,[citation needed] who may neglect social facial grooming and identify with nerd, gamer, or geek subcultures.[2] The term has also been associated with anti-feminist internet users.[3]

    Wouldn't it be easier to use normal English?

    So it was just poor grammar and the comment didn't need to be inserted in the sentence or make sense?

    @Friwi…. You are correct,and that could very well be said about many products….. The vortex stuff I have is “supposedly” verified on the top end … I make sure it is,buy from reputable gun stores ,and check the batch and serial numbers,even calling them to verify…..

    I buy from a local gun store,(14 scopes)….. never on the internet….and always try to verify the product,The guy I buy them from is very reputable….( Keith’s sporting goods)….. buyer beware is always an issue with these types of products,you just have to do your homework and buy from reputable sources

    I shot the section22 match with DNT 7-35 scope the other day. The scope has a lot of improvements over the older Arken models (EP5 5-25 specifically).

    - Better parallax control
    - More refined 0.2mil subtension. (compare to 0.5mil on Arken EP5s)
    - Better glass quality in terms of the CA.
