Heh Heh . . . this'll drive 'em nuts . . .
I think you and I travel the same wave-length. I just LOVE to research these various things and find out all the "secrets." It's fun to be an academic near-expert at times. I got into this over the Vanguard a couple of years ago . . . I am a walking encyclopedia of Vanguard info . . . and by dang it is right! Weatherby was MORE than willing to send me all kinds of info . . . neat company. Same with Tikkas accuracy claims. One of their managers, a personal letter by gum, sent me some info about a competition they were in . . . every "exspurt" on the now defunct "Shooters" from California to Australia disputed what I said . . . but I have been vindicated . . . Tikka put it in their FAQs on their website! . . . concerning the accuracy of the Tikka Continental. Oh well . . . those kind of people voted for Kerry

Well . . . here is what I found . . . Asia Optical is the largest optical maker in TAIWAN . . . your sticker is interesting . . . they probably assemble them in a garage in Japan [8D]. So we have TWO possibilities . . . Light Optical Works . . . who makes Weaver . . . and Asia Optical . . . I suspect they both have sweat shops all over the place.

Wouldn't it be nice if Cabelas would just "spill the beans" and stop all this speculation? Knowledge will set us free!
