IIRC, they only imported them for about a year from the company that also made the Springfield Armory scopes- about 3 to five years ago. These were decent enough scopes, but they were not priced accordingly...until they discounted them heavily to get rid of them.
I bought a pair of S&W marked binoculars a few years ago at Big 5 store. 8X20's.They were made in China. Think I paid 10 bucks. Carry them in the side pocket of my pickup.
