[QUOTE="zupatun, post: 522306, member: 3533"] Seth, Sad to see someone spouting so much BS... Take a drive to Orofino. If they let you inside you will see Nightforce's production capabilities are here in the US...I don't believe they make all the parts in-house--like most manufacturers they source parts from the US and abroad--where it makes sense from a Quality standpoint and best value. I think the innovations--current ones like Zerostop and reticles and future innovations are from Nightforce in Orofino--not from Japan or elsewhere... One thing I can do with a NF turd is take it, hit it up against a wall and it will hold zero...I think the S&B's are probably similarly robust. US Optics make a fine scope as well..I have seen a few in Picitinny Aresenal and elswhere and they hold up just fine. The Army buys a lot of Leupy's becuase it's quality, but definitely made to a price point...which they can afford--SOCOM has the luxury to buy fewer scopes at a higher price... I think the S&B met the criteria of the solicitation best...that's why they were selected--that and it was deterined that they were the "best value" to the government under the selection criteria... If you want to know what they picked and how they decided then take a look: you'll find the "go-no go requirements, specifications and selection criteria...
