The Japanese ag scopes are crystal clear and an excellent bit of kit, the later Chinese version are bit of a let down, okay at closer range and as things reach out the quality difference starts to show. Shame really as it is a bit like giving Jaguar to TATA to make.
I am lucky i have an original AG 3-9x50AO on my R7 and it is a cracking scope also it has Made in Japan, sweeeeeet
