Re: US Optics factory (pics)....

For clarification:
a)I have no reason to believe that there is something wrong with USO products. Vice versa.
b)I don´t buy any chinese products if I can find alternative
 
Re: US Optics factory (pics)....

Sendai is actually in Japan, since that is where they build their pro camera bodies. The person right there is assembling a $5000 camera.

Nice, interesting pics.

Buy -honestly, perhaps because I´m a non -American, I seem to see pictures from bit different perspective.
Since You mentioned foreign countries optics manufacturers and standards, heres few pics for comparison.

I hope I´m not going to hurt anyones feelings -thats not my purpose.

Let's keep the "outsourcing" and "loosing jobs to 2nd world countries" posts to the "Totally Disgusted with Leupold" thread. This topic has been discussed to death over there.

Can't wait to get my first USO!

And I'm sure that nobody here has concluded that capitalism works and that there's a reason for the outsourcing.

My scope is from Japan and works great. I have no complaints. I'd love to have a USO, though, no doubt.

I thought my Japanese scope (Nightforce) was excellent also and the price was right. The only reason I sold it though is to fund a USO.

Right. And they do not want even to be nr1 in quality.

Chinese factories produce according to quality specs defined by western companies selling those products. And these western companies make 200-300% margin on these crappy products made in China. ==> I'd say (about 10x better business than what SB/NF/Zeiss/USO is doing.

- SB/NF/Zeiss/USO aim to maximize the quality
- XYZ optics brands maximize profits

Still looking at the USO shop and comparing that to Zeiss Optronics (Hensoldt) or S&B the difference truly is remarkable...


 
Re: US Optics factory (pics)....

But I can send my USO to their laid back facilities, have custom work done, and get it back in a couple weeks.

-try that with S&B or Hendsoldt.
