FOX scopes

Has anyone used the above brand of scopes? I've read good reviews on them.

I've had a fox firearms scope sitting on top of my Howa 1500 .243 for about 13 years , it's a 8 x 56 , and I believe that it's Chinese.  It's no swaro but it's played it's part in the demise of plenty of foxes and deer. The rifle was dropped about ten years ago and it landed on the scope , in disgust I just chucked the gun in the cabinet , I finally checked it months later,  and it hadn't even lost zero.

Thanks Mel. I've read good reports about them. I may be looking for a high end mag' one in the near future for target shooting (.308) and don't want to spend a fortune on one.

I remember paying £50.00 for mine when I bought it from Brian, I've certainly had my money's worth out of it 😆,I'm guessing that they cost a little bit more these days though.
