[QUOTE="strombeckj, post: 559486, member: 28471"] Leupold is Leupold, they have more glass on more rifles than any other manufacture. Some of their glass is sourced from China, but then again so are many mid level scopes this includes the ones that are assembled in Japan. China has the ability to produce more ground optics and optics glass then any body else so they will sometimes fill the demand for Leupold and other's when the Japan plants cannot. Look at Stenier and Minox, both Germany companies who have a lot of their products made in Japan and even their lower end stuff in China. I am not a Leupold fan and avoid them only because I think there is glass that is just as good if not better for the money and many company's have stepped up their CS and warranty so if you do get a lemon you are covered. I just hate to see someone bash a product for a bogus reason. The glass may have came from China, but that is not what the problem was. I HATE China as much as the next Red Blooded American does and will go out of my way to avoid buying things produced over there but the fact of the matter is not one of us does not have something right now in their home that does not come from CHINA...
