[QUOTE="Alaska_Seth, post: 520437, member: 33029"] Well Night Force is made in Japan and owned by an Australian company, so they aren't exactly American either. I am not an operator or a sniper, but I have spent my fair share of time in Afghanistan and Djbouti and I would take a Schmidt Bender over any American made product. They are good, but so is Hendsolt/Zeiss. Beretta USA maybe owned by Beretta International based in Italy, but that isn't any different than us giving contracts to Heckler & Koch or Fabrique National. It sucks when defense contracts go overseas regardless of where they are made, but at the end of the day you want the best for those that put their life at risk. I have also heard that US Optics warranty department gets a lot of work. I wasn't all that impressed with the US Optics scope I saw, but it was in comparison with a Hendsolt and Schmidt so it was hard to get past it. I have never been impressed with Nightforce, my understanding is that they are a Hakko like a lot of other remarked scopes in America. Nothing wrong with Hakko, just wish the bastards would mark their own name on everything they made. Instead of recoloring a turd. A turd painted gold is still a turd. [/QUOTE]
