[QUOTE="TNRifleman, post: 4468267, member: 16556"] Weaver already does make scopes in China. Just depends on which scope you buy. Check out a Weaver Kaspa box the next time you are at the store. Clearly says Made in China. The Grand Slam is a step up and is marked as Made in Japan. You would probably be surprised at how much of the optics business is made in some foreign company. Leupold's glass has been Asian made for years. I would doubt much more than their tubes are actually made in America. In their binos, the Acadias are made in the Philippines and their Mojaves ($500 plus binos) were made in China. Just because one model of scope from am naufacturer is made in China does not mean all of that companies scopes are made in China. Almost all Nikons are made in the Philippines. Vortex scopes are made in the Philippines (Diamondbacks and Vipers) and Japan (Razors) with the Crossfires made in China. If you pick up a Nightforce scope, it will say Made in Japan on it. You are certainly welcome to buy only things that say "Made in America" but realize that they are likely at best assembled here and that is generally only their top of the line stuff. I personally think Leupold makes good stuff, but it is certainly not all US made product. [/QUOTE]
