Nope made here in USA it was made for a specific military contract and is Berry compliant like other mark 8. Leopold is a family owned business.

Here's your answer to where they're made and of what parts: Lowlight's Leupold Tactical Visit AAR

As for the new Mark 8's, I don't think they're out on the civilian market yet. If anyone has a full review of them other than a touch and feel from SHOT, I'd love to read a writeup on them. Drop a link please.

By the way, they need the TMR in them if they expect my money.
