[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1255735, member: 12995"] The Crossfire scopes are 100% made in China. Diamondback scopes use Phillipines glass and are built in Phillipines (still very good quality for the price, I have a Diamondback spotting scope). The Viper, Viper HS, HS-T, and PST models use the much higher quality Japanese glass but are still made in the Phillipines. The Razor scopes use Japanese glass, and are built in Japan. Personally, I would have gone with the Viper HS, they use a little bit better lens coating on the HS, HS-T, and PST models. I have a Viper HS in 6-24x50 on one of my 7mm STW Senderos for years. Great scope. I also have three Viper HS-T 6-24x50 scopes on some of my other LR and target rifles, and they are phenomenal scopes for the money. Be sure to lock it down in some good quality rings, like the Seekins Precision rings or the Vortex Precision Rings (they're made by Seekins for Vortex), and a good picatinny rail. I use EGW HD rails. They're strong, but made of lightweight aircraft grade aluminum, like the Seekins rings. [/QUOTE]
