[QUOTE="zupatun, post: 522267, member: 3533"] So you know where S&B, Zeiss and Swaro get their lenses in Germany [that's what you mean by "glass" correct]? And you know that most [you implied all] US companies source theirs in Asia. Because of that the quality of lenses made in Asia are inferior...am I reading your presumptions correctly? Also, the specifications for the PSR solicitation weight the quality of the "glass" as the most important factor--if I'm reading into this... So, basically if said company made it's lenses in Asia it was doomed to lose... Maybe if I started my own company and made my lenses in Germany I'd win a Gov't SOCOM rifle scope contest... Oh crap, I'm not sure where NF gets their "glass" from but they seem to be able to get a contract or two... [url=http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/258-Million-for-Nightforce-Sniper-Dayscopes-06382/]$25.8 Million for Nightforce Sniper Dayscopes[/url] I guess there isn't a "rule" here at all...but maybe S&B met the criteria for award the best for that solicitaion? They make pretty good scopes, so does USO and so does Leupy and NF... Matt [/QUOTE]
