Rifle Scopes Riton scope in 5-25x56 theory and question.

[DPS03]

So, I was wondering where the Brownells MPO was made and as others have mentioned it looks like it's in the JOL plant along with the Crimson Trace and etc.

Then I looked at some of the scopes they offer and started wondering what other makers use this same plant. Doing a little cross-referencing, I noticed that Riton has two scopes that fit two of those made in JOL to a tee. I then verified that that the 5-25x56 scope they offered is made in Japan.

In esense, this scope is a very, very, close cousin to the Brownells MPO scope in those same magnification. A bit of cosmetic difference and a reticle change being the primary variances.

Assuming that is true, that could make that scope a heck of a bang for the buck given the price of the Riton.

Does anyone have anything, good or bad, to say about them? I found an old thread but it didn't have a lot of first hand experience on those.

I'm curious as well. Local gun shops have had good things to say about them. I'm going to pick one up this weekend for my wife's 300wm. I hope its made well enough to handle the recoil. Just playing with them in the store and for the price i haven't seen anything locally that was as nice. I'll get back to you after i do some testing with tracking and what not.

Really appreciate any feedback you can give...good or bad.

Thanks!
