Don't know who makes them Mike, I suppose Japan. I had one on a T/C contender some years ago. It was a 2.5x with an illuminated reticle. Had a lot of fun with it. It was a good scope, decent quality, fair optics. I liked it. I haven't heard much about thier rifle scopes, except that I was gonna buy one for my new Encore and the salesman said they were a cheaper quality product. Probably not a bad buy for the price depending on what you mount it on. Hope this helps a little,Mike. :grin:
