I don’t think they’ve been in business for over a decade. I Brielle their optics were oriented more to long distance, precision shooting.

A lot of ML hunters use no optics, and then a significant amount of those who do use optics use lower power options.

We are truly spoiled for choices in good hunting optics these days.

Thats a good question 45-70 . Supposed to be quite good from what i recall . Carlos Hathcock the #1 sniper in Viet Nam prefered them anyway . That in itself should speak volumes to Anybody !!! Which model you have ?? They are out of bussiness you know . They were primarily a military scope line , then a target line . Made a few hunting lower power ones too . Dependable and tough bodied .

had a 1 1/4 10x on a Ped. Gibbs side hammer for a while. used it to shoot 500 yd. Creedmore but thinking on getting another. Got a MVA copy on my Shiloh Sharps only 6x. Bench shooters in Friendship only use Unertl style for bench slug shooting

Many of the older scopes are truly very fine ones . Not many of the newer ones impress me like they still do . Everybody worries about the dam glass . The most important thing a scope can do is hold its adjustment for zero . Period .

I read a book once about Carlos Hathcock that I got from my brother. Fascinating. He made the comment once that he could never pull off what LHO did.

I don't think he did it either Sideshow. I really believe he was probably a patsy as he stated after his arrest.

Met Carlos Hathcock here in eastern VA in 95. He often filled a chair in a local sporting goods store hanging out and shooting the breeze. I was young, he helped me choose a compound bow back then. Didn't really know who he was the first few times, they simply called him Gunnie.
