MikeHPa sometime back told me to steer clear of the cheaper Chinese/Philippine made scopes and to stick with scopes like Leupold, Burris FFII or Sightron scopes as they are better built with superior erectors etc. Yes, there are other higher dollar scopes that do as well.
Since taking that advise and for their value, I've been very pleased following his recommendations.
For my 'set it and forget it' hunting scopes, this has been great advice.
He could have said steer away from Chinese, Filipino and Taiwanese glass. Leupolds made in the USA in a lot of cases means assembled in the USA with sourced shït parts.
