Alot of scope lens are ground in the Phillipines, but could be made in Bangladesh with equal results.
The glass grinding and polishing, the CNC, the Quality Control is all computerized, in other words, no human hands to mess it up.
Coatings are no industrial secret any more, and with the glass being top notch, and the tubes being high quality, alot of the brands are being equalled out in feature and value and price.
However, that leave warranty as the selling feature. We picked up a Vortex 4 x 12 over the holidays, and it is a very impressive scope. What is more important is the no haggle lifetime warranty. I do not need an argument on whether the failure was abuse or not.
