Default Scopes made in USA?

Quick question;

I am in the market for a new scope. I know what everybody is suggesting as far as brands and models are concerned. But, I do not want to buy a scope that isn' t made in America.

Which brand of scopes are made in the USA?

Leupold, Burris & Pentax. I think that is it!

Unless I am mistaken, Pentax scopes are made/assembled by Burris.

Burris is the only one of those mentioned that uses american lenses so it is the only all american scope.
