Just wondering???? Do you drive a car or truck and if so which one is made in the USA? All of the parts of mine are made all over the world.

Own too trucks, American made.
As much I hear good news about vortex I feel somewhat bad not buying a leupold...

If I am not mistaken the higher end Vortex scopes are made in Japan and assembled in the Philippines.

Have a couple different Leupolds.
VX-II 3-9x40 on wife's 7mm-08.
VX-II 6.5-18x40 on my 6x47.
VX-III 8.5-25x50 on my 7 RM.
All have very repeatable adjustments and have served me well

I don't know, as they're not my scopes, but I would say it's not likely that they are.

No they aren't.
Not a big deal for me as they don't have any sort of graduated reticle. Just a plain old duplex.
I have thought hard about trying a Vortex though... need some $$ to start a project to put it on first

SWFA 5-20 FFP because:
1) love the glass & reticle
2) I can somewhat accurately range elk w/it
3) dial to a mile!
4) dialing & holding got me out to 2275 on Jeff's rock in Townsend with my 7 shamwow
5) it's bounced from a 338LM to a 10/22 to a 7 saum with zero trouble
6) it's heavy enough to use as a weapon (and I don't ever mind the weight of good glass on a hunt)
For the money, I can't find anything I like more (me, my opinion- not knocking any other brands- just happened to try it & love it)
