Title: Rex Scopes
Post by: Not The Brightest Bulb on September 10, 2014, 05:46:29 PM

Curious, anybody using a Rex scope, I googled them and can't find a thing. They are advertised on Flying Dragons.

I got one with the tuned X25 I bought from Flying Dragon. I quickly sold both...........

From Rex's home page "We have a financial interest in our offshore manufacturing facilities " usually means China.

I also found an address in Delhi, another in Singapore. Products & Services: Optical Glass Manufacturer Rex Optical Company http://www.asklaila.com/listing/Delhi-NCR/Naraina+Industrial+Area/Rex+Optical+Company/1Lp3FhBG/ http://search.insing.com/business/rex-optical-co/jalan-besar-lavender/id-2fef0000

 Call a retailer and ask them to look @ one and tell you what country is stamped on the model of interest?

 Seems to be some buzz about 'em being Barska  rebadged http://www.opticstalk.com/rex-optics_topic10681.html (http://www.opticstalk.com/rex-optics_topic10681.html)

 Which model is of interest, I'd like to compare photo's of Rex with Barska?

 Most companies proudly advertise country of manufacturer, unless it's China, then it's printed tiny, almost unlegible.

Thank you, I don't have one as I said I was just curious cause when I google searched nothing came up.

I just now did a google on Rex Optics and found a home page.

You kind of left us hanging. Can you elaborate a little?

Thanks

I have two Rex scopes from Mike Melick, both have survived magnum springers. The glass is clear and the adjustments are accurate. Mike stands behind what he sells.

Thanks,

I received my MM fully tuned XS-B26 yesterday and the scope seems fine, pretty clear, and that's from a long time owner of many Leupold Scopes.
The front flip up pretty much falls off though. Must be a Rex factory one-size-fits-all unit. I really want flip-ups.

I have the REX 3x9x40- AO if anyone is reading that has info on a better set.

Check out this post here on GTA: http://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=47930.0 (http://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=47930.0) about Rex scopes. My experience has been the same with two 4X32 mounted on magnum springers.
