Negative. All the fixed powers are made in one plant in Japan and the variables are made in another, also in Japan.


Sorry RD, but this is wrong.

The classic fixed powers are made in one plant. The 3-15x is made in the same plant.

The HD scopes, 10x HD, and 3-9 are made in another.

Easiest way to tell is to look at the turrets. Each plant has its own design. The 3-15x has the same turrets as the classic fixed scopes. The 10x HD and 3-9x have the same turrets as the other HD scopes.

Its been discussed and confirmed several times by SWFA at OpticsTalk.
