There was some conversation here about the new Skinner scope some time back. I looked for the topic but was unable to find it but as I recall the country of manufacture was questionable. Maybe China ?.

I had don a search and could not find anything either.
I read somewhere that it is made in China also.

Seem to remember that thread, too. and that it was made in China. So many scopes made in China, now, so not the QC issue it once was. I'm using a couple Hawke, made in China scopes on the airguns and they've actually been decent.

If I remember right most of us thought Skinner threw their name on an already designed scope and had little or nothing to do with the design. My guess is you will find the exact same scope marketed under a dozen different names.

I think that power range is great for a lever gun, but boy I sure think it is ugly. A slightly larger Leupold is far more graceful and looks fine on a nice rifle. Even on a “tactical” X version. Is this what we were discussing, or are there other models? That threaded hole is for a post, and that is even worse… IMHO. If you like the look, go for it.

That is the one and now that I see it on a rifle I have to agree that it is on the ugly side.
Thank you for sparing me the trouble of buying one.
