I have not owned a Cabela's but I heard they were made in China. (which is not the end of the world either)
Quite a few optics are made in China now-a-days. I have owned many different types and brands of scopes and some will fail and others will not. I ended up destroying two expensive rifle scopes when I mounted them on MLs. Sent them back to the factory and got them fixed. However one company tech sent a note back with the scope and told me not to install it on a ML again. That it was not made for one! So now I only put ML scopes on MLs.
However, lately I have paid the extra cash and bought Leupolds. Latest aquisition was an Ultimate Slam for my new Knight Vision and love it. Clear, clear, and clear!!! But then again I did did break down and go cheap and bought aSimmons 6-18x40mmfor my CZ .17 HMR and love the performance of it. It also is clear and I am more then satisfied. Sometimes six of one and half dozen of another.
