The cabela scope i purchased just to see how it worked. It sorta surprised me it was as good as it was. It didn't surprise me how it wasn't as good as the optics i was used to. It was sold to a forum member long ago for his son, for less than half what i paid for it.

I assure you when i purchase most anything these day, i do what i can to know where it was made. The CVA rifle i purchased, i knowingly spent the money realizing they weren't American made. I don't not purchase something i need or want, because it isn't made in America. I enjoy the pictures i take using a camera made overseas. I am typing on a keyboard made overseas. I enjoy watching a TV made overseas. However, i do purchase American made products when i can. As i mentioned before my hunting clothes are made in America, as are my hunting rifles. The scopes were assembled in USA. Many of my tools are made in America. I understand we are part of a global economy, but sometimes i purchase American products on purpose.

My lathe, and mill were made overseas. My drillpress, jointer, and planer were made overseas. The table saw was made in America.

One humorous thing, to me anyways, i make vent liners using screws made in America. In my mind my vent liners are All American, part South Dakotan, part Connecticut. I was informed i could purchase screws with the same spec for $6 per 100, instead of the $18 per 100 i pay. My vent liners are still all American. Funny thing--they are made using machinery made overseas.

In my initial post, my point was and is, there are some people that seek to purchase American products. That is it. Period. No way did i imply foreign made rifles are inferior.

I will say my American made hammers, and hand planes, are far far superior to any foreign made i've seen and felt. Them American planes are a true thing of beauty, that feel like a million, and cut shavings one can't hardly believe. In all the years i swung a hammer, they were always American made, and they were good tool, that made me a good living.

The individual that mentioned TC rifles are American made wasn't hijacking this thread, rather he/she was bringing information to the threads initiator.

Muley, you do realize don't you, i am the fella that figured how to make CVA rifles work reliably with BH209.

Actually, i like TC rifles better than CVA rifles, just because i like them better, Yes i do.
