I wouldn't be labeling all Asian as junk. Even in the 40 year old past, some Japanese were much better than any Leupold of that vintage.
Yeah, "Asian" includes Japan and Light Optical Works (LOW). They make some of the finest scopes available, including Nightforce, high end tactical Bushnell's, and others.
From what I've read, there aren't many makers of high end optical glass. Even "American made" scopes use glass from the "Pacific Rim"... And "Pacific Rim" could include the Chicoms....
