Wow. I just assumed vortex was American made. In the last year I have made a conscious effort to not buy anything from China. While I am sure I have not been 100% successful, I have caught myself numerous times checking a label to see that it was made by the chi-coms and passing. Previously, and sadly, I will admit I did not even bother to check on many day to day purchase
So, do you have any recommendations out of the 3 manufacturers you mentioned. I certainly want to stay under 500, with 300-400 being more desirable..
If I cannot find something decent under 500, I can/will stay with what I have.
Thank you.
