    That's a little strange, as I read in Guns mag. they are making a comeback with top line optics and warrantys. Better double check your resourses.

    Blount sporting goods division, which included Redfield and several other brands including weaver, simmons, RCBS,Outers, Speer, and Federal was purchased late last year by a company call Alliant Techsystems in St.Pete FL. Alliant owns Lake City ammo and is a big ammo supplier to the Govt and the maker of Alliant powders. I heard from a friend of mine at Alliant that they really only wanted Blount's ammunition and reloading business and some of Blount's less desirable businesses (to Alliant) may be in jeopardy. I think this one of the reasons that you see Weaver scopes on close out as well.[This message has been edited by mbrook (edited 02-11-2002).][This message has been edited by mbrook (edited 02-11-2002).]
