| Can you email me the price I might already be in the sandbox when it comes out but if I can get it sent to me in the sandbox I would like to try it. $350 is the price does it come with a mount as well or is that seperate. Just trying to figure out how much to save so I can beg the wife for funds. I have a EOTECH and a AIMPOINT so I am intrested in the 1-4X GRSC scope. |
Thanks for the info Chen! Looks like I'll be getting one of these after all. What's the ETA? |
NYP, The scope are in full production as we speak or type..Ed is looking to take delivery of the first 500 scopes by July 2007. Price is 450.00 but he is dealing direct for the first batch and giving everyone the intro price of 350.00 and an added LEO, MIL and Firefighter discount that you would have to contact Ed to get. |

Very interesting. It's about time someone produced a scope with those type of features at a sane price. I have been looking at a variety of 1-4x illuminated scopes now for several months, as IMHO, these are the most versatile optics on the market. I have always loved the CQB reticle on the IOR scopes, but those are pretty pricey. Typically, I am turned off by most stuff that's made in China. But that tends to apply to cheap stuff that's DESIGNED as well as made there. This is no cheap knockoff it appears, but a well designed scope that when made to spec should be very good quality. Again, the price tells us a lot. While $350.00 for such a scope made in the US would not be viewed as overly expensive by most of us, a scope made in China that's going at that price indicated it's made up of good components. If this were a typical cheap knockoff, it would be selling for about $50. I will likely give one of these a try, especially since I am a firefighter and you were so kind as to include us in the discount along with mil/leo. That gesture is very much appreciated. |
| For those that are already excited with this new scope, i would like to add more to your excitement. I worked with Ed on this project since day one. We were looking for a scope that will work as an optical sight (red dot) at the same time as a scope. I remembered when I talked to Valdada about it so that they will make it for ED but they never did it with front focal point. US optics made a few with Ed's specification but the cost of the samples were $1,400 each. I have one of the prototypes that were made in China according to Ed's specification and I am enjoying it. I sent one for testing with the Special Forces in the Philippines and we are trying to get an order from the armed forces because this is a scope that will increase the efficiency of the soldier directly. If I get the contract from the Philippines I have a deal with Ed that he will give it a priority. We already tested it with the M14 and it really works great. The eye relief is long that you can use it as a red dot. At 1X power the horseshoe is very small that it looks like a big dot and we tried shooting a man size torso metal plate at West End Gun club stationed from 100 up to 198 yards(laser range finder) speed shooting as fast as we can with hitting all the metal plates every time. Another advantage that I observed is when you are shooting moving targets, for as long as your rifle is moving together with the target (not stopping to aim) and the horseshoe is within the body, there is no need to lead the target. We tested the brightness of the scope and it is better than the one that US optics made. But again you have to test it. I know most of us are skeptical about Chinese made and I am still but we have to base it on testing the product. You have nothing to loose, if you do not like it, I think Ed will take it back with a full refund. Ed is a very honorable person that he wants full satisfaction of his products. I showed it to several defense contractors and all of them want one. For now I have a back order of 15 scopes for these guys. I showed it to several media people at the shot show and all of them were impressed with it. When Ed was designing it, i told him that it should be very simple so that the soldier will not think about what lead should he use or how to calculate, this scope doesn't need any calculation, just shoot and you will hit the target because most of the soldiers can not estimate the distance including me. |
I think the price point is too high for a Chinese scope. At that price i would be looking at the Leupold 1.5-5x variable as a midrange option. Yes the Leupold is a few bucks more but it has a lifetime warranty from an established company. |

To all who have expressed interest in the CRS GPC M4-62, THANK YOU. I am in the process of trying to sign up as an industry partner, as I do not feel it is proper to be advertising my product on this website with out being a paid advertiser. Please bare with me as I am more of a trigger puller than a key puncher. All this computer stuff is "greek" to me, so I've got a lot to learn. As soon as my payment goes through and I become an industry partner I will be putting out a lot more information on my scope and other products on this website. If you do email me please leave your phone number and I will call you back to answer your questions ASAP. This is the most efficient way for me to operate at this time. I don't type worth a damn. This is being done for me by proxy. Thank You very much, Ed Verdugo GRSC |

I will be at the Costa Mesa Ca. gunshow this weakend 3-24&25. I have no scopes to sell but I will have one on display.I will not know my table location until I check in Saturday morning. You can find my location at vendor check in, usually at the north west corner of the south west building. Thanks Ed |

I have been getting quite a few emails from people wanting to be put the list to purchase scopes when they come in. Thanks for giving your phone #. I have tried to call everyone to let them know they are on the list. In the future please also include your time zone . I don't want to be calling late at night. If you get to the costa mesa ca. gun show this weekend try to stop by. Thanks Ed |
| I'm in for one, just sent you email. If this were available today I'd buy one today. I'd love to have this on my patrol rig. I'll put it on some of my personal rifles and try to sell the idea to the firearms staff at work. This beats what we're using now. Thanks for making this. |
Ed, Just to clarify something. I want to make sure that by posting here saying I want on the list (as I already did), is enough to be on THE LIST. I want to make sure that I don't have to email you and speak to you on the phone before being added to the list. From what I've read here alone, I'm willing to cough up $350 just to try it out. Thanks for the effort on such a worthy project! ADH |

adh, To clarify, to get on the list you will need to call me @ 951-8459838 or e-mail. I need your name phone # and time zone. To date the list is up to 320. So far I have called everyone who has given me thier phone # and talked with them or left them a message to verify that they are on the list. If you haven't heard from me your not on the list . When the scopes are on the way I will post it here and also call everyone on the list. Iwill also post more info on the scope and try to answer all the questions . Iknow there is some opposition to having the scope made in China. I couldn,t get it done here in the USA . This scope would have been out about four years ago if I had not tried so hard to get it made here in the USA. I tried to have a good quality scope made that will help keep our men alive in combat. I wanted brighter illumination and better waterproffing but this is the best the factory can offer at this time. I think it is best to describe this scope as water resistant. It will be fine in the rain or if it is dropped in water but if you infiltrate thirty feet under water this scope isn't going to cut it. To keep this in proper prospective you need to know that the prototype scopes made for me by US OPTICS were not waterproof either and the illumination was not as bright as this scope. The US OPTICS scope would have retailed for about $1400.00 Don't take this wrong and think I'm saying this scope is comparable to the US OPTICS scope because it isn't ,what I'm saying is that I wasn't happy with the US OPTICS scope in these two catogories either. One person asked about the field of view @ 100 yards. I'll post that info when I get it, but if you look at the 100 yard pictures it will give you a pretty good indication of what it's like. More later. Thanks Ed |
Thanks for the clarification, Email sent
