I guess it is time to get educated. Did you know that most every
binocular in the market today, under the $500.00 price point,
is made in China? There are a few mentioned above you may find otherwise, but that is now the norm.
The original poster has requested the under $300. types, so that is how it goes.
I don't like it any better than you do, but that is the way it
goes.
I guess it is time for you to get educated. That may be the case only because the market is flooded with cheap Chicom crap optics. As I said, you can always find better quality made in Japan or even made in Germany optics if you are willing to look around. The two I mentioned are prime examples and in addition are excellent examples of two that are less than 300 dollars. If we keep buying Chinese, they will keep selling Chinese.
