This is the older made in Japan scope. Not the newer made in the Philipines scope.

Here is some info from Weaver about the newer Classic Extremes on sale from Natchez.,

Quote

"Sorry, no these scopes are brand new Phillipine models exclusively for Natchez. The grind of glass is not as good as the old Japanese constructed ones. They still have the limited lifetime warranty but are a completely different scope than their predecessor Classic Extremes. They are a lot of scope for the $$ however.
