[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 954149, member: 39764"] Thats all I buy (Golden Ring) anyway. I presume you refer to Redfield. No issue with me. At least we all know (or I presume you know) where Vortex is made at and it's not Wisconsin either:). Actually, it's clearly marked on all my PST's and Razor, made in Phillipenes. I understand the lower tier lines are made in China but I cannot speak for that as I don't possess one. Leupold at least produces a percentage of their optics on US Soil, utilizing Domestic labor while Vortex produces NOTHING on US Soil. In fact, even their baseball caps are made in China (I have one btw). Bottom line (at least with me, probably bercause I'm a Vet and I'm in my 60's) is I PREFER TO SUPPORT COMPANIES THAT MANUFACTURE WHOLE GOODS ON US SOIL USING DOMESTIC LABOR. I also understand how manufacturing costs can be kept in check utilizing non-domestic sourced parts and labor in as much as I'm employed in a heavy industry. Thats where I stand. I don't want to be eating with chopsticks not do I want to eat rice as my staple diet. Again, both are good (Vortex and Leupold) and I own both, but there is a difference between the 2. [/QUOTE]
