Can anyone give me feedback on the Fujinon scopes?

Me again... Actually i have seen an ad for one of the scopes and may be interested. When i did research i could find no reviews but i did find a couple places that sell them. The optics from Fujinon seem to be quite expensive, thus i assume the quality matches. Just would like some input.

Lorson:

I have a pair of 10x70 Fujinon binoculars that are optically excellent. I bought them for astronomy. They are a bit heavy for most hunting applications, weighing in at about 77 oz, but I have used them pronghorn hunting, for example. I have had the binoculars about 12 years now.

Based on my binoculars, I would conclude that Fujinon is capable of making very high quality optics. At the same time, rifle scopes have special requirements that binoculars do not have -- such as withstanding high impact forces imposed by rifle gun shot recoil while maintaining the zero of the reticle.

thanks Alsatian, The one supplier had the 4x12x42 (which is the one i am concidering) for $386.00. The Sportsman's Guide has the same scope for $149.00. They indicate Fuji has discontinued the model. I have found that to be true.
