FYI .... China has a lock on the raw glass blocks sold to almost if not all scope manufacturers.
Schott glass is made in VaChina?

Weren't most of these posts sent from Chinese electronics?
The hypocrisy runs strong here. Or not. Some of us avoid chinese crap to the greatest practicable extent. I am very consistent on that. Laughing! Where was that bike helmet made?

All of my rifles have both mid-range scopes like Leupold and higher end ones like Swarovski, Schmitt/ Bender and March. On a whim, I found and purchased a scope made by Axeon for $225. (see link below).I have to say that I am somewhat impressed by the clarity and ruggedness from a scope made in China. I have done a little research and was amazed that some of the scopes that are popular with hunters and shooters, which are also made in China. Vortex Crossfire, Crossfire II and Diamondback scopes Mueller Nikon ProStaff Pentax Game Seeker Hawke Vector Before you jump all over me for buying a product from China. I am a gun toting, Trump and 2nd amendment supporter and proud to be an American but only passing on an observation. https://www.axeonoptics.com/axeon-optics-4-16x50-igr-dog-soldier-predator-rifle-scopehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGDexJAXfXohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LG_RNNJqF6YI’ve never been impressed with Crossfire II glass clarity, in fact I’ve been underwhelmed. What is worse though to my eyes is the seriously small eyebox on them. Six years ago I purchased sight unseen a Hawke Endurance 2-7x32 scope with the 30-30 IR. Bought it for my Marlin 336 because I wanted the IR for hog hunting in low light. Scope came, to my eyes the glass wasn’t nearly as good as the Fullfield II 2-7x35 that was on the rifle and the illumination wasn’t daylight bright. Kept the Burris and sold the Hawke. Of the scopes you mention as popular, I’ve had hands on experience with two and they were not worth owning IMO. Moving on, you have been a member of this forum for almost 15 years yet your reaction to others posts is as if you were a brand new member of 24 Hour Campfire. Give me a break.
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me.
