    Rifle Scopes Vortex binos - difference between models?

    Re: Vortex binos - difference between models? Thanx guys. Well put. I've just got my 7x36 Diamondback in the mail. So far so good. The only disappointment was Made in China. I really hoped for Made in USA. Anyone heard of any plans to see more of "Made in USA" labels around?

    Does anyone know if NightForce 2.5-10x32 falls under dual-purpose goods and cannot be exported without additional paperwork? I'm buying from one of the forum members, but want to make sure it won't be blocked by US Customs. Any idea where to find this info?
