The only thing I've ever though of when Colt and Scope were used in the same sentence are those old carry handle mount scopes.

I've just stumbled onto their new Optics page. Did this recently pop up or have they been trying to enter a new market for a while? Maybe it's a side effect of the new ownership?

Around a month or two ago is when they announced it.
Liberals are a curious mix of communism and fascism, they want to destroy you but want to use your own money to do it.

34mm tubes are retarded for anything but ELR scopes.

I'm guessing they're leveraging something in the CZ organization to OEM for them? Maybe a bigger brother of THIS ONE ?

Grok says:

Colt Optics products are primarily designed and manufactured in the United States, with headquarters and operations in Michigan.
Colt Optics (a subsidiary of Colt CZ Group SE) was established in 2024 in Michigan, USA, specifically to produce precision sighting and targeting products. Official descriptions emphasize U.S.-based design and manufacturing to meet professional demands, leveraging Michigan as an "epicenter of precision, weapon-based electro-optics engineering and manufacturing."
Key Details:

U.S. Focus: The company states it "designs and manufactures" optics and sensor products in Michigan. Job postings and company profiles reinforce manufacturing activities there.
Canadian Production: Certain models, such as the CMAR 1-6x LPVO for the Canadian Armed Forces, are produced in Canada to support local defense industrial capabilities.
No Confirmed Overseas Manufacturing for Core Line: While some forum speculation mentions potential sourcing (e.g., glass or components from Asia), official sources do not indicate primary manufacturing outside the U.S./Canada.

For the most accurate details on specific products, check the product pages or contact Colt Optics directly via their site (coltoptics.com), as country-of-origin markings can vary by model.

Betting this is the Geissele LPVO situation all over again. A mid tier scope for high tier prices.

I'm pretty happy with my thirty four millimeter tube. Much better than a thirty millimeter tube on a MPVO.

I hope they are better then the old 4x ones.  I could put the lenses from a pair of glasses in a paper towel tube, draw some crosshairs on it with a sharpie, and it would work better than they did.

Wait a minute... This actually looks really promising.

These reminds me a bit of Meprolight’s MVO line in looks and features(Schott glass).
I know the Meps are made in Taiwan but they look similar.
If I’m way off, someone tell me to shut up lol!
