Did the search thing and found nothing.....Made in Waterloo.
Does anyone know these scopes? Supposedly the military use them.
Looking for LR/BR shooting up to 1000 (eventually).
 
.... 'Seen Ads.for Shepherd? 'scopes in the "Shotgun News"..... if it's the same one's you're referring to. They advertise that the scopes are one or two shots only to zero, and used for competition. An American Company, so there'd be problems having this type of 'scope shipped(exported) I haven't seen a copy of the "Shotgun News" for quite awhile, so I can't say whether the adds. are still running or not. I'd doubt that the 'scopes would be cheap judging by the claims ! ..... David K.

David,
Just an FYI - made in Waterloo, Ontario.
 
i've seen sheppard (with 2 p's) scopes in "special weapons for military/police" magazine and they were long range tac scopes used by some U.S. teams at shooting competitions.
i could have told you more info, but i just donated all my old mags to the hospital!

They are excellent scopes and mine (mounted on a Ruger 77 in .300WM) works as advertised although I find the reticle hard to see in dawn & dusk low light ( bunch of small circles). But for a daytime scope it's excellent.

A couple of years ago CSSA was advertising them & and IIRC were offering them for sale. They may still do or know of Canadian distributors.

I have one on my 7mm Rem Mag. works great, just as advertized. The one shot zero works as advertized as well. After using it for the last 5 years I don't think I would want to go without it now. The optics are good and the reticle is kind of busy as mentioned above but it DOES work although trying to range targets at long distance in low light can be tough but most people would not be shooting game at extreme distances in low light anyway. I have successfully ranged targets out to 700 yards and made hits. The ranging reticles/circles are kind of thick making precision shooting on very small targets like gophers a little tough but for larger game work great. Overall I am very happy with my Shepherd scope. I bought mine from Granlund firearms in Cambell River BC.:)
 
I bought a V-1 Shepperd last fall to put on my tikka T3 in .300 win mag. works awesome. takes all the guessswork(well most of it) out of ranging and elevation. Dropped a buck at 750 yards, one shot, 6 witnesses. Worth every penny just for that moment.
Doug Rayner at Rayner'Shine gunworks is the western Canada dealer for Sheppard. Email him at raynershine@sasktel.net or phone (306) 689-2654. Tell him Dave Lowe sent you.
Importing these from the states is a ##### so it might take a while for him to get some in. He was out of stock when I stopped in a couple of weeks ago.
 
I have two of them, a p1 and a p2. They are tough as nails and are everything that is claimed. One thing that a lot of people don't like about them is that they are velocity and therefoere trajectory specific. Both the rimfire model and the centerfire model have their reticles and rangeing systems set for weight/velocity/trajectory parameters. So you have to find the ammo they like and stock up, especially for the rimfires. For the centerfire model, handloading is best but not really neccessary. Not to steal the thread, I lost a rifle mounted with a Shepherd in the Prophet River (BC). It was washed down about 5 km and came to rest on a gravel bar. It was in the water for three days, if the McMillan stock hadn't floated, probably would still be up there somewhere. Took the stock off and cleaned up the bedding and retorqued the screws, checked out the scope alignment by bore sighting, cleaned the bore and took it to an adjacent airstrip to sight in. Took three shots and it was like nothing had ever happened to the package, other than a few scratches and scrapes. It's been 6 seasons now and it's still fine. The optics are as sharp and clear as any other glass you want to compare it with and the people at Shepherd are just plain nice guys that are great to deal with and will answer all of your questions on how to mount a scope properly and with great patience to make sure that you understand why. I would buy another in a heartbeat and not blink an eye at the price. A great lifetime scope that is easy to use and rugged and can be passed on to your heirs. bearhunter

Williams' Arms in Port Perry, Ont. has had Shepherd scopes in stock at times. Don't know if they still have any or still offer them but you might give them a call. Good people to deal with.
