Title: SOVERIEGN RIFLE SCOPES?
Post by: khunter#1 on February 25, 2014, 11:24:03 AM: Anyone on here ever heard of a sovereign rifle scope? If so do you know where they are made? Would like to find out more information on them, because I just bought one of ebay, it seems to have great optics and is for sure an older scope. Thanks, Kyle

I suspect it is a re-branded scope for a gun or optics supplier much like a Cabelas "Pine Ridge". I've had a number of old Weaver K-2.5's that were re-branded by Sears "JC Higgens" and other national chains with no evidence of Weaver anywhere on them. There was even an importer of surplus arms in Hialeah, FL that had a bunch made for them to put together sporterized military arms for sale.

I was told that it was made in Japan, by the seller on ebay. But when I asked where he got that information he said he lost it.
