[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 2844768, member: 9308"] As I understand it, manufacturers respond to sales. If their Chinese made scopes quit selling, they will move manufacturing to somewhere else (like the Phillipines or Malaysia.) But it would take time for them to see and correlate the data that "we" are no longer buying Chinese stuff and we'd have to band together & be serious about not buying for an extended period of time. But I look at how many people still buy from Dicks & still buy Bud Light and I don't see much hope. If "we" can get a good scope for $200 less from China, many won't care about the politics of it...they want to save $200. We enrich our enemy because of the desire to save money. And they laugh all the way to the bank while growing their military might & global reach. It really is hard to find some things NOT made in China. But scopes? Plenty of non-Chinese alternatives are out there. People just have to make a conscious choice to seek out the non-Chinese manufactured versions. [/QUOTE]
