[QUOTE="LeddSlinger, post: 954178, member: 65338"] True. Vortex actually manufactures optics all over Asia. The rifle scopes are made in the Philippines My Vortex Razor binoculars are made in Japan And my Vortex Razor 16-48x65mm spotting scope is made in China I used to get all bent out of shape over imports. But it has to be the way of the corporate world if they want to keep costs down for us. American labor is very expensive. Remember back when EVERYTHING Leupold made utilized their best Golden Ring glass? Those were the days..... and that's how they earned their world renowned reputation. Unfortunately with the increased cost of US labor and materials, you have to pay a premium price for Leupolds best glass. Both are good optics. But I will admit. Vortex is as foreign as they come. That does not take away from the quality, but some of your money might not ever come back to the states. [/QUOTE]
