dnewton3 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Anyone have success or failures with the Cabela's Pine Ridge scopes?They were unloading them for a song in a clearance catalog. I bought one (2x7)out of curiosity to put on my Remington Genesis ML. I've been using the fiber-optic sights that came with the gun, but wanted a scope for further distance. Perhaps I scored a great deal; perhaps I got whipped. Won't know until it gets here and I try to sight it in. Was just wondering if others had good/bad experiences with the brand.

dnewton3 Posted November 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Received and mounted over the weekend.Decent scope. 2.5 x 7 in power; enough for ML deer hunting in the woods. Seems to hold it's zero well. Clarity is OK. Light transmission is a bit weak once you start to loose the ambient lighting.Not bad for $39.99 on sale, including the rings and mounts!

wwillson Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Any idea who actual mfgr. is ?Bob I've done some Googling around and nobody seems to know for sure... Cabela's seems to keep this a well guarded secret.Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnewton3 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 I, too, can find nothing on the subject.For the price, you have to suspect Tasco or Bushnell, right? But no confirmation anywhere I can find.Most of the Pine Ridge products go anywhere from (sale) prices in the $40 (like the one I got), to up to around $250? That fits neatly in the the two brands I mentioned. And likely made off shore in a developing country.However, all that said, I can't fault my $39.99 scope with rings and mounts included. For my shot range (less than 100 yards), it has held zero and should perform fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugerman1 Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Is there any indication on the box or scope itself on the country of origin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
