I was told they were made in same plant as Leupold, but a non issue for me as I have one in 2-7x32 it appears to be same scope as the Leupold with a slightly different finish. Honestly with outsourcing along with suppliers of glass world wide various brands made in same factory it's a grab bag of what you get, not positive that brand name is relevant in todays world. The glass on mine is very good, solid scope and for $120 bucks can't complain.

They assemble the Revolutions at the Leupold facility in OR. I am not sure where the lenses and other internal parts come from (somewhere on the Pacific Rim I suspect), but I think the tubes are milled in OR.

The dealer that said that is probably the same guy that, when asked to show you a Winchester Model 70, says: THIS ONE ?? and has his hand on a Mossberg shotgun.

yes I should state that I'm in Australia and it was a person who imports scopes (Not Redfields)
at the moment here the best bang for your buck seems to be the RedField scopes I work part time at a gunshop and have suggested these scopes to a lot of people and have stated to them they are American made I wanted to make sure I was not giving them the wrong information

I have an older Redfield its about 20 years old. Ive taken lots of deer with it, one of which was at 630 yards with my 7mmmag. I love this old redfield scope. Mine was made here in the good ole U.S.A. I would like to think they still make them here but not sure.

Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.
Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow Now the rules have changed again. |
