[QUOTE="Paladin300, post: 2285620, member: 115299"] Not for their scopes. They use glass purchased from Schott which is where most high end European companies get their glass. Schott is a European company but they have moved there glass manufacturing to the pacific rim (Asia). 90% of optical glass is now coming from Asia (Japan, China, and the pacific rim.) The confusion with Meopta is that they produce high end camera lenses and the assumption is that they are using the same in there sub $1000 scopes. That is not the case, hence the price. They maybe finishing the glass (polishing and coating it in house) but as far as I know and from what I have read their scope glass is coming from Schott, out of Asia. They are great scopes for the price but the glass they use is the same as other comparable companies in that price point. [/QUOTE]
