Who is making Marlins scope on the X7 rifle combo
« on: September 27, 2011, 06:25:34 AM »
 So i was in a shop yesterday and was thinking about the wife when i was looking over their marlin bolt actions, one was the factory combo in 243.. And that is the caliber i am wanting to get her into. But i could not help but notice the light gathering and clarity of the unmarked scope on this rifle package.
 
 What I was hoping to find out is if anyone knows who is making their scope for Marlins rifle packages,    Boys it surprised me and in a good way .
 
 So lets hear it , whats the rumors ?

Likely the same maker as the scopes Remington puts on Remington and H&R firearms, I asked the Marlin/H&R  brand manager the same question a couple years ago, he wouldn't say who makes them tho, just they're made offshore which means the Philippines or more likely China.  :-\
