Scopes made in USA?

Quick question;

I am in the market for a new scope. I know what everybody is suggesting as far as brands and models are concerned. But, I do not want to buy a scope that isn' t made in America.

Which brand of scopes are made in the USA?

Leupold, Burris & Pentax. I think that is it!

I think the Ziess Conquest are made here in the USA, as well.

Well, that makes four, more than I thought there would be. Where are the Pentax made, (which state?)

Unless I am mistaken, Pentax scopes are made/assembled by Burris.

oldelkhunter is right, Burris assembles them.

You an buy a scope that is assembled in the USA but the lenses will come from somewhere else. ***an,Austria,Germany etc.

Burris is the only one of those mentioned that uses american lenses so it is the only all american scope.

Where does Leupold get its lenses?

stubblejumper · 11-18-2003, 06:47 PM

Leupold uses asian lenses.
