Yea, SCHOTT glass, but SCHOTT makes hundreds of grades of glass. I think most of us optics companies use SCHOTT, or a portion thereof.

We received the propietary rights to it for binoculars. :), so we started from scratch with the Victory HT for a new standard in hunting optics. Full press release details coming Friday.
