Rifle Scopes New Scopes from Brownells?

[Hondo64d]

Looks like Brownells is getting into the Precision riflescope market. Says Japanese glass, so likely LOW produced? I might give the 3-18 a try... Maybe...

I've been looking at this scope for a few weeks and I think it's my next scope. The more I look at that reticle the more I like it. The split line seems a bit odd at first. But it just makes sense once you think about it. Some of the reticles I see have foolish errors in design, or at least they don't match my style/ideas. There are so many reticles that I want to love but can't because of one issue or another. I'm no expert, just my ignorant opinion.

Who is really making them? Just rebranded?

LOW

As jayhawk said, I'm also a non "expert", but it seems to me every week there is a new scope coming out of LOW, Jesus, when do they buy their own Country? Not complaining, hah, except for what this is going to do to my credit cards as I upgrade my older designed scopes for the now much better glass that my now old eyes need. As I was told a long time ago, you have to be alive to have problems, thanks Mom.

AFAIK brownells doesn't manufacture anything in the house... but LOW scopes for $1,000 are a beautiful thing for this market.

They had a couple demos at their 80yr anniversary event yesterday so we got a quick look at them. Elevation turret looks like the new Leuopld. Turn easier, though (on the two I touched) which isn’t good or bad. I actually kinda liked the reticle when looking through it. More open space than my H59. I didn’t really notice the double stadia until I zoomed past 12x - Where most prs type shooting is typically done. Looks like a good value if under $1000

With the regular 10% coupons these are at $900. They happen to have one today. I'm tempted...

I don’t see these as in stock.

Does anyone have current pictures of the scopes’ badging? The examples displayed at SHOT were marked MPO, where as the early literature (press kit documents) showed scopes marked with the Brownells logo.





I’d also love to know the actual weight of production models.

That’s an amazing price for a LOW made scope!

that's what happens when you can pay for a bunch up front I'm guessing

I know I will get flamed for this, but they kind of look like Tangent Theta a little bit.

That's because it's a "Pre-Order". My point was that they had a 10% coupon on the day I made my post....bringing the Pre-Order price to $900 shipped.

I thought the same thing.
