A bit miffed...

Post by ABert » Tue Aug 02, 2011 10:48 pm

Just received a new pair of Leupold Olympic 10X25 binos through work with a 50% discount. For a compact bino, these things are GREAT!

But...

much to my surprise, these Leupolds, an American company know for quality optics for over 100 years, are made in CHINA!!! I mean, what is going on in this country?!? If I had known these were made in China I would have gotten some Zeiss binos. At least I KNOW they are still made in Germany.
It ain't the size of the gun but the placement of the bullet.

I know what your saying friend. Finding something "Made in America" is getting tougher and tougher all the time. Whats sad is that many people don't understand how they are hurting our country when they buy foreign made stuff. And whats even more sad is that our government does know but does not care. Thers one thing that they cannot change.......people like you and me were "MADE IN AMERICA"!!!!!!!!! fatrooster.
