I have many VX-II, VX-III and FX scopes. Have never had any problem with them at all. However, until Leupold comes clean about the source of their scopes; i will buy nothing from them. A lot of the Leupold optics are made in China. Problem is that Leupold will not tell you which ones are made in China. This is their corporate spiel on the matter:
"All Leupold Gold Ring products are made here in Beaverton Oregon.Always have been. The glass has always come from Asia. In order for usto acquire the quantity of optical glass that we need and the qualitythat we need that has always been our best source. But everything elseis made and built here in Beaverton Oregon.

Remember the counterfeit Leupold scopes and the lawsuit that Leupold filed aganst the Chinese maker of those counterfeit
scopes? The Chinese company who counterfeited those scopes is non other than the company that makes a lot of spotting scopes, binos, range finders and rifle scopes for Leupold.
