Made in America? Accurate at 500 yds?

My understanding is that the Leupold range finder is made in Portland, Oregon. I can't verify if it works from 500 yards. I've never needed to know that information. It has been really good though from all normal shot distances. I am very impressed with it's performance.

It is made in China (stated in the batter cover). The workmanship appears excellent: precise and solid. I have used it for several months: more pleased with each day goes by. Never tested how accurate at 500 yd. But did tested it many times towards a tree trunk about 100 yd away: variation is about 0.2 yard.

Not sure where its made. I do not care if it is accurate to 500 yds. It is accurate to 200 yds. The only reason I would want to be accurate that far is if I was a sniper or something. I use it for golf.

Made in USA . Very accurate. I don't know any golfer who would use it off the tee at 500 yds. The pros only hit it at 300 yards. This range finder model is the best and I golf from April till mid November..

Made in America-yes. Fred Leupold began crafting scopes for the public in 1907 in Portland, OR. Accuracy-wow. To answer your question I went to the top of the driveway and shot other neighbor's mailboxes with the laser. 350.7 yards. 404.0 yards. 478.6 yards. 572.4 yards!! Granted, I used two hands to steady the device but it was perfect.

Sure you can, why not? It's pretty darn accurate on my 556 at 400-500 yards, have not tried it on my 308win but I'm assuming it would be even better. Keep in mind this is really a TA31-ECOS. Read all the comments before you buy.

Yes. But I see it would be hard to down anything small farther than 20 yards. Accuracy is the problem. Practice is the solution for that range.

I'm next to positive it's made in China,but I'm not positive. I will say that the quality of the product is worth the cost. The crosshairs are clear and it's a heavy sturdy scope. If you're looking for a scope like this made in USA, you're going to pay $400-$600.

I don't remember seeing or for that fact looking. I would put an answer of 90% sure it is made there. That being said it's a great little scope, I use it on my .22 Benjamin Marauder air rifle. Holds it's zero and has great return back to zero. Dollar for Dollar fulfilled my needs I was looking for.

Yes it is, and it works best between 15x and 35x. The higher magnifications have issues with clarity due to imperfections and debris. Also, this scope doesn't work particularly well for people with glasses, like me. So for distances over 150m, or people with glasses. I wouldn't recomend this. Otherwise its solid.For clarification: if you want to see if you hit. Sure 500m is possible with shoot and see targets. If your checking shot groups 150m is the limit.

Although it dubs itself "the SOUL of the AMERICAN HUNTER" the package clearly says made in China. Do not let this discourage you from awesome optics, to some this may be the deal breaker but IMO you will not find anything better for the money.

No, I don't believe it is. I recently shot a 1,000 yard course and found this scope lacking -for my gun at that range (I ran out of Elevation). I was shooting .308 with 175 gr Remington Match King BTHP. Leupold makes quality products, so maybe the next step up in the line would be better.

Hello Jason. Well, nowhere on the swager does it say China or Taiwan or Japan. It says made in U.S. A. in Oroville, California. It is made of cast aluminum and looks very high quality. It is well finished, no burs or rough cuts. Bolts and nuts are all quality. The size is a little deceiving though. It looks bigger in the pictures than it actually is. Mine is 6 1/4 inches long. I think it will definitely have to be bolted down to the work bench. Is it worth $118 bucks? Yes because the other methods for un-swagging primer pockets on military brass can leave the pocket enlarged and cause the primer to unseat or blow out, from my past experience. There are other tools which mount in a single stage press that would probably do the same function. I would recommend this RCBS tool. Jimmy Fielding, U.S. Army Retired

Depends on how far your comfortable taking a shot. The range finder is accurate to within a few yards. I measured it against known distances. For me I will not taken a shot longer than 300 yards.

Looking at photos (I don't own them) is says FOV is 5.6 degrees at 1000 yds.

Wish I could give you a good answer I but have no experience with your rifle though it is reputed to be a great one. Did find zeroing mine mounted on an M&P; AR 10 was a piece of cake! I bore sighted @ 25 yds then within 5 rounds had a perfect zero @ 100 yds. Have not done any longer yardages but am eager to see how well BDC measures up. M-308 is my 3rd Nikon tactical scope...I think a great bang for the buck! Good luck on your decision.

Sorry but it is made in China but I figured if SIG puts their name on it it has to be of an above average quality. I have two AR style rifles and they both have this sight and I have had zero issues with either one. I hope this helps.

Found the ans myself. If anyone is interested FOV = 365 ft at 1000 yds (OK) and Close Focus = 14 ft (NG). Mfr gives weight as 25 oz.

Sorry, but its made in China. Still, seems to be of sufficient quality relative to the price. You'll have to spend about three times as much if you really want high quality optics. Its just the reality of the state of modern manufacturing. And yes, there is a detectable difference in quality between low price and higher priced products. You just need to decide if you want 'good' or 'good enough'..... these were 'good enough' for what I wanted and could afford.

Yes. The Acog is way more accurate than I can shoot. If you are a great shot you will want to check the bullet drop indicators for the ammo you shoot. I zero at 200 yds and that covers my needs. Note: it is one the finest scopes I've ever seen and is indestructible.

The Leupold box it comes in is stamped "Made in China".Mine is accurate out to 500 yds. Used it in Oct/13 for Ontario moose hunt & it worked flawlessly.
