Quote:Thanks Jack
I asked because, several years ago, I bought a very nice scope without any indication of maker and , as the central adjuster was of a different profile to the normal Fecker scopes, came to the conclusion it wasn't a Fecker. I did a fair amount of searching of which the following thread summarised most of what I had learned.
(You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) Two things of possible interest I was told:-
1. It could have been made in a small batch by El Monte? of California - anyone any knowledge/info???
2. The Fecker company/name? was eventually sold to Japanese firm who then produced some similar scopes.
Still trying to get KAF's article

I owned one of these scopes. I too, tried to find out who made it w/o any answers. They are not Simmone's. The Simmone parallax adjustment is entirely different and I think a better design.
This is the link to my inquirey:
(You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) They are a quality made scope, especially the mounts. They have Fecker/Unertl type adjustment knobs but, the body is machined from billet aluminum and anodized.
Mine had (I still have the box) a box just like the one pictured in the Rimfire Central thread and had slide on lens caps (a excellent feature) but, mine was 20X but, not marked in any way. I traded mine for a STS, last year.
I would still like to know who made them if you find out anything.
