The china origin would be a deal breaker for me, hands down. The company (supposedly US owned) is deceitful in their advertising to not identify place of manufacture- one has to do a lot of searching to find out the TRUTHFUL info. Perhaps their upper level scope line is not made in china, but I refuse to give my money to companies that deal with china-which has their tentacles into everything we do (AKA- SPYING (as in their drones sending info back to them in real time). Funny how some salesmen rationalize that most components come from china anyway, so what's the big deal. Well every dollar we send them is less money for American workers and non-hostile countries workers-while much of the money going to china goes to the CCP.
Warranty? Well aren't Weavers, Bushnell, some Vortec, and other lifetime warranty scopes made over there. You can see how well that's working out for us -no repair -just replace with newer models that are far inferior to the original.
