Does anyone have any experience with the Weaver Kaspa Series Scopes, Model #849805 they are black matte and have the Valuex Reticle. They look good but that doesn't say a lot now days.

I found out some about them today, it seems they are made up for The Sportsmans Guide and they are not sold else where. They seem to be well made with a BDC type reticle they call Valuex Reticle. I put one on a 7-08 bolt action so we will see how it does.

If this is the scope, Sportsman Guide recently featured on cover of its mailout catalog for around $100, then on another site, a gent posted a comment on calling Weaver to ask about the scope.

Weaver told him the scope was made in China and sold only to Sportsman. It did not have as good of Optics as their Grand Slam or Super Slam scopes made in Japan (by Light Optical Works AKA LOW). Weaver guy was asked about the Sportsman advertising scope had a 97% light transmission. Weaver Grand and Super Slams have a 94% light transmission in their optics. Weaver guy confirmed Sportsman's 97% matched spec sheet they had for its optics. No comment was made about how the China scope compared to the Weaver 40/44 scopes made in Philippines, which has some pretty good glass in them.

By the way, Sportsman also listed a low priced tactical scope in same catalog....it too is made in China.
