I used to remember when 'Made in Japan' was considered junk (and it was at that time). Today, I find Chinese/Japanese stuff to be of much higher quality than a lot of 'stuff' made in the USA. The world truly is becoming a Global economy. The USA no longer makes really high quality products. We have been taken over by bean counters, who sacrifice quality for cost.Chinese products get a bad rap, sometimes with good reason, but a lot of times when companies send manufacturing overseas they de-engineer the product and let the manufacturer take the blame for their cheap products.
And I really think for one that Vortex scopes (made in the Phillipines) are on par, quality wise with US made Luepold scopes costing far more.
America no longer is the only country to hold the 'quality' mantra.
Heck the bean counters HERE in the good old USA de-engineer and cheapen the product. There are still some things America builds better that anyone else. The one thing 'cheapening' a product has taught us is how to make superior products. Now if American industry would just get back to building quality.
