I never had one. I tend to stick to "name brands", as I think most people do. However, I recall this discussion coming up a few months ago and I believe I recall that a couple of posters had actually worked for Cabela's and gave us more information on these scopes and the success Cabela's has had with them. In short, according to the poster(s), Cabela's chose the manufacturer very carefully, the quality is way better than the price would indicate, and the return rate is very low. Something like that. You might be able to look back in these posts a few months ago and find it. Anyway, one of the posters who had worked at Cabela's sure convinced me that these are very good scopes for the money. I haven't been in the market for anything comparable lately, but I have kept them in mind as an option. One thing I will say for Cabela's is they treat you right if you don't like your purchase, so I think the risk is well covered. I believe if you don't find it up to your expectations, the'll take it back for a full refund. You won't find that everywhere.
I'd try one.
