I suppose if you know you are buying a fake...and the price is right...some time ago I spotted what was clearly a fake Leupold M1 scope on fleabay at £19.99 posted....worth a punt I thought...the scope has been on a 308 for six months and has performed very well
It has 1 moa click adjustment...not suitable for close target work but absolutely fine at 200 yards..bullet holes clearly visible on 10 mag!
Everything seems to work perfectly....you can never tell with the stuff coming out of China.

Looks ok to me. All Vortex Optics are made in China.
Crossfire are Vortex's "cheap" range.
