I like my Leupold scopes, but I have no more (or less) faith in their infallibility than many other makes, regardless of where they're made. I like to buy American, but I like to get what I pay for, as well. Most recent issue was a 3-9 vx2 that went to wandering all over on a 6.8 AR. Doesn't mean I won't take another. Doesn't mean I'll swear off variables or Leupold. Doesn't mean I 100% trust them, or anything else these days. 😜
