Marlow I ordered one of the S&W scopes last month and it is a nicely finished scope and has clear bright optics. It is made in Japan and is warranted by Smith & Wesson even though the entire line has been discontin ued. Hakko is the actual manu facturer of these scopes and I don't know anything...

OK guys this S&W scope talk has aroused my curiosity. I called the guys at CDNN and tried to find out who makes this scope for S&W. All they could tell me was that it was made in Japan. I compared the picture of this scope on the CDNN site with the Nikons that I own and there is no similarities...
