I recently purchased a Burris handgun scope. 2-7x32 posi lock. Imagine my disappointment when I saw thst it was made in the Philippines. I should have spent another $200 and got a Leupold. I have 3 other Burris scopes that are American made.
Burris has had scopes manufactured in the Phillipines for years, using equipment they provided, by workers they trained. The quality is as good as ever, maybe a bit better. The Phillipine government isn't trying to destroy the U.S. and AFIK, Phillipine companies aren't owned by their military like many Chinese ones. Do you also avoid optics made in Japan, Germany, Austria?
By all means buy what makes you happy. Doing a bit of research beforehand will let you avoid buying stuff made in places you don't like.
