"Lou"They are all made in the same factory in China as far as I know. I read somewhere that the Falcon Menace 4-14x44 ffp was the same scope as primary arms 4-14x44 ffp. Neither primary arms nor Falcon make their own scopes, they get them from China and put their name on them. You can find the same scopes in Chinese websites. This doesn't mean that they are bad scopes, they are the best that China makes.
I can immediately think of one Chinese scope that I know as a hard fact is better than anything sold by the name Falcon, Primary Arms, BSA or Vector; though I may run into legal trouble for saying the brand. Just because the scopes look superficially similar it doesn't follow that they are entirely the same. I know of many instances of high end sporting equipment made in different factories with the same parts, also superficially identical things made with different parts to different standards.
If you just look at the turret housing of the Primary Arms, BSA or Vector you'll immediately see a basic fact.....that they are different in turret design/parts to at least modern Falcons; which has thicker/stronger turret bodies and steel on steel turret parts. If you measure up the scope body elements of these scopes you'll learn that there are differences. Falcon lenses are also of unique prescription, and certainly superior to anything from the others. In respect of the Falcon T50, they do a heck of a lot of UK work to ensure that they perform at a high level. For at least the last few years, all Falcons have been tested before export from the UK, and because the Chinese factory knows that they don't try to get away with what they do to other brands!
