Money, i.e. profit margin, is the ONLY determining factor in where a product is produced in this day and age. With todays technology the same quality product can be made anywhere in the world, the only difference being labor, taxes and enviromental protection costs. American consumers are too self centered to suport their own standard of living so the ships arrive here full, and leave empty. How much do we owe China now? Screw 'em, make mine a Leupold.
Funny [bleep]. If the Chicoms had their stuff together and transportation etc was better 120 years ago, you don't think that Ford wouldn't have been made there?
People seem to think it's the people TODAY that are the problem, 100 years ago they would have never made a product in China.
That's like saying Winchester would never have made an AR15 in 1873.
People are [bleep] idiots.
