smo Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 One of these days I am considering purchasing a rifle scope, and was wondering if Leupold was the only American made scope these days. I like to buy American made products if possible to support our family's. Not the foreign countries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Re: Is there any rifle scopes made in America? Are you sure that Leupold is made in USA or assembled in USA? There are some American optics makers like: Nightforce which is much better than Leupold. Unertl Optics which is 100% made in USA. US Optics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierbuck Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Re: Is there any rifle scopes made in America? I thought Nightforce was an Australian company? Is their manufacturing here in the US? HB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Re: Is there any rifle scopes made in America? I'd be curious to all those "made in the USA" brands...if they were 100% US. What I mean is...just because they are stamped "made in the US" doesn't mean the lenses, metal, mirror etc...all came from the US. Some of this stuff maybe imported and made and assembled in the USA. Sorta false advertising to me...but I guess we'll never know unless we actually got to work/tour their factory's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Re: Is there any rifle scopes made in America? I believe that products need to be atleast 75% domestically made in order to be called "made in America"...But who knows...and whos gonna check Weaver I think has most, if not all of their stuff made in the Phillipines. Unertl is top of the line sniper equipment made here and our troops use them. I do think Nightforce is Australian. I know T/C scopes are made in Korea. Japan makes good quality optics and I would consider Nikon too. I am all for the domestic purchases, but one could go crazy looking for 100% domestically made products now a days. Leupold states" made right...made here" That tells me "made in USA" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeiss has an assembly plant right here in America. The parts are produced in Germany but the scope is assembled here in the USA by American employees. Don't know how much you are willing to spend but I'd buy the Zeiss conquest over any Leupold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its either Korea or Japan but I believe its Korea because Nikon's glass is made in Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocMort Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 So most snipers nowadays use Leupold. The zeiss is a nice scope but you pay for it. I am a firm believer that if you pay for the rifle pay for the scope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunterbobb Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Burris scopes are made in america all so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Burris scopes are made in america all so I was under that same impression that burris scopes are made in America, however I don't know that means the parts are all manufactured here. Burris bino lines come from China if I am not mistaken. Also my understanding that some scopes that are assembled in China still use the same glass of some of those "better" quality scopes from Japan.

bearcat Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 I recentlly bought a Burris Fullfield II, it is made in the Phillipines. It is still a good scope though. I like my Weaver Grand Slam the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njbowhntr Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Certain Burris scopes are made in the USA. I know that their Signature Select scope is made in the USA, because I own one. The Euro Diamond's, Black Diamond's, handgun scopes, the Scout, and the XTR's are made in the USA also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETMGROW Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Redfield - Made in the USA Recent articles in " Shooting Times " and " Guns & Ammo " magazines are highly praising the return of the Redfield brand name scopes. Redfield was sold a couple years ago to Leupold & Stevens in Beaverton Oregon. The entire scope is American made and assembled here. The reviews are outstanding on the product and the prices are around $200 or less. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
