In my experience with scopes, you get what you pay for......Make sure it has a good warranty. -Y
I like the LEBO but the stock that Amazon has right now is what is left over. The LEBO shop has no one answering the phones, no email answering and on google earth the shop looks closed. I happen to also have an Athlon and they are a spec optic company as well, so the same thing could happen. I don't live that far from the Leupold plant and I like their scopes when I install them on my firearms but I haven't ran across anything of theirs with a side focus that I would consider affordable for air gun use.

Blackhound owns them. They were/are the lower priced Blachound optics scopes. Kind of like Epiphone is to Gibson. They are supposed to be who honors the warranty from what I've gleaned.

You are making an assumption based off the label that says made by Blackhound optics which is also a spec optics company, like Athlon, all made in China. Here, check out their address and try to get a response back. Last time I tried to return one on warranty, I had to contact Amazon and they said they didn't know exactly what was going on but to just order the same one, put the damaged one in the box and send it back to Amazon.https://leboptics.com/warranty/

I Called them last year, and someone there told me they made Lebo..So whoever I talked to there may have been wrong, but I didn't assume anything. Sorry you had bad luck with your scope. That stinks.
I'm glad you like the scopes.. So do I and a few friends of mine.. It's too bad if they aren't really going to be offered anymore. Glad I got the ones I have when I did.
