We at Camera Land are extremely excited to announce our affiliation with GPO - German Precision Optics

For those of you who are thinking " Who is GPO - German Precision Optics" it's my pleasure to answer that for you.

From their web site:
"GPO, USA is an American based company that creates and sells premium outdoor sporting optics to avid outdoor enthusiasts who seek high quality premium optics for their sport. Based in Midlothian Virginia, it is owned and operated by Michael Jensen, an outdoor industry veteran who has successfully assisted in leading numerous premium brands such as Zeiss, Swarovski, Remington and Marlin to benchmark success levels. GPO, USA works in tandem with GPO, GbmH, a German based company owned and operated by Richard Schmidt, formerly CEO of Carl Zeiss Sports Optics, GmbH. GPO, GmbH is the global owner of the GPO brand. Together, GPO USA and GPO, GmbH design, engineer and have produced optics that meet the highest specification in the products price/class segments. GPO, USA is committed to enhance the experience of outdoor enthusiasts by bringing premium product with better features at similar prices or similar quality products at better prices.

For more information about GPO, USA visit www.gpo-usa.com or email info@gpo-usa.com."

In my words GPO is the new kid on the block bringing quality Riflescopes and Binoculars to you priced slightly below what you'd think is a similar optic from the names you've known, however, their products are not only a lower price but higher quality as well. The company is being run by a few guys I have known and worked with for years who hail from the best Euro Optics companies. They decided to pool their experiance, knowledge and abilities to launch their own brand. I think this is great. They spent their careers learning the rights and wrongs, what works and what doesn't and what you all want in Sports Optics while working for the best of the best in Euro Optics companies and now they are first hand making those products themselves.

From their Passion 3X 4-12x42 - Plex Riflescope priced at only $399.99. "This entry-premium, 1-inch line of riflescopes packs incredible features into small, compact, and versatile optics, with premium features like quick-adjust turrets, fast focus ocular, and generous eye relief. PASSION™ 3X is sure to be your workhorse that transforms a hunt into a harvest." to their Tactical GPOTAC 6X 5-30x56itac - Mil-Dot " This tactical riflescope offers incredible high-demand features in a premium optical package. Massive mil-rad lockable turrets, mil-spec mil-plex reticle, fiber optic iControl™ illumination with auto-off functionality and stunning optical performance will shake shooters to their core. Built on a 34mm main tube, this riflescope delivers 105” of adjustment range to meet every long-range shot. With see through flip caps, objective lens threaded for honeycomb filters, and a machined aluminum magnification ring designed for throw levers, this scope is at the top of the game. Feature for feature, spec for spec, you will find no better optic for your demanding needs." you'll be impressed with GPO's offerings.

They have also put a 1 week repair or replace Lifetime Full Coverage Warranty in place so you'll never have any worries. This means if you ever have any issue the longest you'll have to wait is 1 week. I too have been frustrated by some of the mfg turn around time when it comes to service. This 1 week policy removes that frustration. Kind of refreshing.

Stay tuned and as product begins to arrive, they say within the next couple of weeks, we will post all about it.

I may be interested in trying one especially if they are offering some discount for new products. Keep us posted.

. . . I am sort of liking the look of the Passion ED 8x32 binos. The 20mm compact binos are not that functional. The 40mm binos start to get a little big. The 32mm seems like a good compromise and with a weight of only 17.6 oz that would not be hard to carry all day. Any thoughts on their binos versus the scopes? Are they in stock (kinda like the desert)?

32mm ED binos are scheduled for delivery in late April

Thanks. So what is your opinion of them (the 32 ED binos) in terms of quality-for-cost value?

I am waiting for product to arrive into us in order to do some side by side comparisons before being able to post an opinion.
Specs look great, however, at this time that's all I've seen

Ditto that on 40/42mm a bit big, 20 are kind of a joke. These look promising, good price too.
