RE: Scopes made in USA?
 

What, you mean that Leupold isn' t actually made in the good old U.S. of A.?[:o][:o][:o][:o] It' s only assembled here?

Is nothing sacred any more?

RE: Scopes made in USA?
 

Doesn' t seem to be sacred

RE: Scopes made in USA?
 

What about Sprinfield Armoury, U.S Optics, Shepherd, and Weaver???

To be honest, the best glass is from Germany(where Zeiss and Valdada scopes get their glass).

To be honest, I think that the best lenses are made in Germany too. BUT, I don' t want Germany to profit from my hard earned money. The older I get, the more things like this are pi$$ing me off.

RE: Scopes made in USA?
 

So buy a conquest and get european lenses and a scope which like leupold is assembled in america.

RE: Scopes made in USA?
 

Hardly anything is made 100% in the USA any more. It' s either 100% imported, Imported and made with parts or materials from the USA as well as from other countries, or made here with a combination of parts from here and other countries.

Even Dodge, Chevy, and Ford are not made with all American parts.

Bigbulls,
True, very true. But, I choose to buy the Ford truck because at least the profit goes to Detroit, and NOT Tokyo.

Since Optical glass is a commodity...leupold and others that don' t produce their own lenses buy them worldwide..... I am sure that like everything else German any glass coming from there is overpriced...to say that Asian glass is inferior is a stretch though.. One example would be Nikon Venture Binos which equal/surpass anything coming out of Germany... Zeiss Conquest glass comes from Hungary and is probably a good bit cheaper than the stuff that comes from the fatherland.

I just wish that I could get a good, decent scope for around 150 bucks that was made in America, from American materials.

Then again, I' d also want 50 new guns, unlimited $$$$$$, world peace, my youth, etc,.............
