I would be especially interested in a comparison between the Sotac and an Argus mount, if you own one. I've read multiple times that Argus is a higher quality version of Chinesium, superior to Sotac, but nobody has been able to explain why.
Night Vision Real Deal Wilcox/KVC/RQE/etc vs Chicom Knock-Offs - Buy American???

Imagine funding the PLA by buying shit that funds R&D that will be used against Americans and their Allies one day.
Cool they can steal an idea and make a clone. Doubt it is materially the same and has not been tested( which is a large part of the cost in conjunction with low unit volume, it's niche). Trust your 12k BNVDs with it.
It's like using a set of Walmart rings between your AI and Tangent.
Well, if the Horta posts up a new thread about the binos he lost and the new binos he bought, we’ll know.
Unfortunately, you have a point:

@ Horta, have you ever considered the Surefire lights @ SOTAC? and if so? were you able to get any "feedback" on the quality etc and if they would last on a "real" firearm? I know over on LF.net that a member tested some Somogear PEQ's & they held up pretty well (for what it is)
Cheers

I've been posting on other forums for years, and here at SH since I joined, the hugely negative effects of buying OEM chinese products like Holosun, Olight, Fenix, Swampfox, Norinco and a bunch of other lesser known brands.
It's a distinctly different topic from "made in China" (which I also speak against) and the costs to the western world are so much worse with the former compared to the latter. Many people who agree with my views on this don't speak up because they're worried about their popularity on forums.
