Covenflower Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Hi you all I needed two scopes. Since the majority of the ebay scope sellers are selling Chinese copies from bad quality. I ordered two Bushnell scopes in the USA. I hoped this shop was trustable. I had a call with Bushnell in the USA. The "shop" were I ordered and already paid for it was unknownj by them. This answer worried me, therefore the question: Does anybody has experiences with this company: Arcadian Sales 26025 Selmar Road Jetersville, Virginia 23083 USA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHunter Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Have you tried asking for the serial numbers and then speaking with Bushnell? Might give you a lead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casts_by_fly Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 I've dealt with them. I ordered my tasco from there with no problems. I've heard of others ordering from them with no problems and I originally got their addy from this site since they will bill and ship internationally. They are also the cheapest price I've seen on the scopes that they carry. Thanks Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casts_by_fly Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 in fact, they have a great closeout right now on a Leupold VX3, 6-20x40 for $560 and the 4.5-14 for $440. Thanks, Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 The biggest copy scopes on eBay are Tascos. Incidentally, people have been caught round here selling counterfeit "Detol" at boot sales. Trust nothing and no one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunganick Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Ive used this company before, i did get charged import duty, which these days would make it more expensive than simply buying it here i believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noluv6 Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Hi, This is tricky and I will tell you why. bushnells except the elite's are made in china so what you actually get is a un branded bushnell scope and if you check there catalogue with the tascos on ebay you will see they are the exact scope's and I've owned a few and are exactly the same quality. now if you were talking about leupold clone's I would be saying some thing else as they are made in america "well so leupold say" but there so identical you can't tell but you can tell with leupold's because of the glass. Just because bushnell dont know the shop mean's nothing but in leupold's case,they know all the seller's and if a shop as stated above is real cheap, they remove them from the list and simply never supply them again. Now you will find chinese scope's such as the simmon's aetec with jap optic's that are simply stunning for the money. Here's another example,check ags scope's and check jsramsbottom's leaper's at nearly half the price "both are same scope's" with out question,so this stuff with copie's is acceptable to a certain extent but 80% are genuine and you are paying for the brandind, exmple ags and jsr. If a branded scope is compared to a ebay scope and they look exactly the same, the odd's are there 98% "in this case bushnell" genuine but un branded. bushnell is owned by mead,mead now owns,simmon's,bushnell,simmon's,weaver,redfield and other name's and brought the standard of red field and simmon's wtc and aetec's to shame,hence the no more wtc's,aetec build quality,weaver build quality,redfields glass. Let's face it for example, would you pay 200 for a ags or 100 for a jsr which is imported from the exact same factory but branded differently? Big subject optic's are.

I bought leapers 4*16*56 scope from JSRamsbottom's. It is quite impressive and I really like it. BTW: noluv6, which part of Brum you live? do you go to any shooting clubs?
