I wonder why they don't mark them according then? Where are the internal parts made? </div></div>
It is said it's because of California law that states if any part is made overseas, you cannot mark the product "Made in the USA." I believe the glass in Leupold scopes comes from Japan (probably some other parts too) so that would be a violation of California law if they marked them accordingly.</div></div>
So it is "assembled in the USA" and not Made...
Funny, the Nightforce F1 and 1-4X / 2.5-10X have glass from Japan yet they mark these scopes "Made in USA" -- but this is an old and tired debate.
Bottom line you have one company that has quietly removed the label, citing a single law, and another company, once known exclusively for their Made in Japan tag, loudly moving towards Made in USA...
The facts are out there, you merely have to open your eyes.
Enough said.
