They are all assembled in China. The EP5's have Japanese optics, also assembled in China. At near this price point there are no other similar options that aren't made in China. Best, "lower priced" scopes, not made in China, are Sightron and Meopta
Just to clarify. Are you saying the internals are Japanese made and it’s simply assembled in China? One day China may make a great optic. But it’s viewed with suspicion until proven otherwise. My son bought an athlon spotting scope from Doug. Chinese made. It’s a very awesome unit.


Doug we love you man. You’ve been here for years. A campfire OG
