Rifle Scopes Scopes made in the USA 100%?

[Derek Myers]

What scope outfits actually make their own glass and other components here in the US and not just assembly "farmed out" parts from Japan/China/Europe?

If anyone has great knowledge in this area I would love to see a list of 100%US made, foreign parts but assembled here and then US companies who design scopes and have them done 100% out of country in factories that "put together" scopes for various makers.

I don't believe there is an optical quality glass maker in the US.

thanks for the link(how I missed that I don't know)......crazy I wonder how much of the tactical stuff I buy that says due to its nature this product can not be sold outside of the US.....wonder how many of those products start life outside of the US in either whole or part form.
