Same here.

I can’t avoid every nickel and dime item made in China but when I can I do so, especially with bigger dollar items that I’ve already taken the time to research or sense of pride items such as something going on my rifles. I avoid China line the plague.

I have a few Meopta made Zeiss branded scopes and a pair of Meopta binoculars and have always been happy with the quality and value.
