Has anyone had any experience with this brand? Especially the Centuri models. I know that it’s a couple of executives, that left Zeiss and started GPO, they design everything in Germany but is manufactured and assembled in China 
. Except for there real high end $$$$ stuff which is manufactured and assembled in Japan

I haven’t but I was intrigued so I looked at their page. Apparently after manufacturing all their scopes go back to Germany for final QC. Their warranty seems good. Would be interesting to know more about how they perform.
As they have a $100 rebate right now going on… so Kind’of temping… As if we all have accepted the Chinese manufacturing of Arken, Athlon, Zero-tech, and more why not GPO… the one thing that does eat at me though, is that Athlon, Zero-tech and others use Chinese manufacturing and say how great they are, but then has Japanese make all there high end scopes… if the Chinese have it down then why not gave them build them all?

Just because as you said it yourself, people are so conditioned to the propaganda, for the lack of better term, that anything Chinese sucks, therefore throw in Japanese or German manufacturing of their high end in order to charge premium pricing. I believe the lenses are produced either in Germany or Japan but still assembled in China. But a good example in your last paragraph are high end Chinese made knives, i.e. Reate that has won high praise in their design as well as their steel in their knives.
