What does that have to do with the price of the Leica or Swarosvki? While I agree I would rather buy an American made product, in today's economy price point versus quality makes this point moot.
I think your taking what I said out of context. Leica and Swaro are the best rangefinders and that's what I said in my first post. I didn't say you had to buy those 2 brands to get a good rangefinder. Leupolds are not exactly cheap and right below them(Leica and Swaro) pricewiseeven though they are made in that rat hole called China.
