better than being called US Optics and not making things in the US anymore

Their Foundation line is still made here. Before they sold the company a few years ago, everything was made here except the Glass was Japanese.

Pretty much Everyone's low end line of optics are made in China, Taiwan, or the Phillipines.
You just can't meet a certain price point and be made in the USA.
Then there is A LOT that are ASSEMBLED here with mostly imported parts.
