Bering. How does it rate as an optics brand?

Pond, James Pond · March 22, 2017, 07:55 AM

Just curious as to how this brand rates compared to others.

What are equivalent brands in terms of quality? I don't mean in price. Prices where I live are not comparable to those in the States.

RDSs have caught my eye here, but it need not be limited to those types when considering it.

Never heard of them. All I google is a brand of watches.

Well it's definitely not that!! They are expeeeensive!!!

Here is the company.

If I were going to buy a RDS, I'd buy an Aimpoint.

I have one of the original Aimpoint 1000's that still works like new even though I bought it in the 80's.

Aimpoint is both hard to come by and very expensive here.

That's why I'm trying to gauge Bering from a quality standpoint...
