[QUOTE="lightwind, post: 521720, member: 30140"] My concern is that we have lost the ability to make the product. Let me give you an example. I don't know of any US company that makes the glass with the quality needed to be in the ballgame with Zeiss or Swarovski. Both of those companies make their own glass for quality control. Zeiss has purchased companies that used to be their glass suppliers just so they can keep the quality. I don't even know of a US glass maker that can make the quality of glass that the alpha scopes use. Our best US scopes use glass from the Phillipines, China, or Japan. So, I believe we have lost the ability to even make the glass. Don't get me wrong. We should have that capability - but we don't. [/QUOTE]
