[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1565693, member: 229"] "Leupold" doesn't mean "American Made". Only their Gold-Ring scopes are made in the US. Pretty much anything under (roughly) $500 is imported either completely, or parts are imported and the product is assembled in the US. For every Gold-Ring scope Leupold sells, they probably sell 10 of their cheaper optics in sporting-goods stores where folks don't want to spend that kind of money on their $250 rifle. Not trying to start anything, but Leupold makes a fair amount of money off of over-seas made products. To the OP - what kind of scope are you looking for and what price-range are you in? If you're under $500, then I'd look at other brands as well as Leupold (or at the very least, I wouldn't buy Leupold on the assumption that they're all made in the US). If you've got some time to kill, here's a thread from the hide where a lot of good info is found - it seems that Leupold has been outsourcing a lot of their higher end products and the country of manufacture has been disappearing from some of their boxes: [url]http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1123792&page=1[/url] [/QUOTE]
