I don't know if they are anygood any more or not.
Leupold bought out all Redfield Rights from Meade just a couple months ago.
Meade sold Weaver to ATK the same companywho own Federal Premium.
You've probably herd of Nitrex Optics by now.
I just recently herd about them through a magazing and a thread that was started on Nitrex Optics at the bottem of the Optics Forum.
I do know that Weaver is not made in the U.S. anymore, but in Japan probablyin the same facility that Nitex is built under.
Couldn't tell you if its for the better or worse though.
The 2008 reviews for the Weaver Grandslam and T-series scopes seem very good, and Japan is known to put out very decent optics now.So it may be a great buy for the money.
Depending on personall judgment, some (maybe you) may think so some won't.
Hmm...This reminds me...
Meade/Redfield, and their 30mm tube ,6x range 30mm scope they brought to the table designed a few years ago.
Never really got off the ground though, other than a few advertisements and a few reviews the Meade/Redfield failed miserably.
I wonder if Leupold bought Redfields rights so they have a scope that they can market and compete with the new Bushnell 6500 series..
Causeafter all Leupold did just purchase Redfield in April/08.
just about the same time Bushnell released the 6500 model.
I guess we will see next year
