The US military contracts by politics, nothing more. It's who knows who

I've seen plenty of posts about problems with Nightforce scopes as well. No one is calling them bad scopes. You had a bad one, we got it.
I think it was just this year Nightforce starting offering a FFP. Their price
is way up on it too. I don't know if the parts are all built in asia like the
rest of their stuff but the price is running a few hundred behind USO is
all and it is built here with nearly all American made parts. Sorry but I
put Nightforce more in line with Lupy's and their policies on disclosure
about where they are made are the same as well. Asia means china to me
unless otherwise stated.
So enjoy what you have and we'll enjoy ours. (If yours does get sick just
remember to feed it rice.) As far as huge losses, USO has never given me
a reason to sell. I'm adding one more to the stable next year.
I'm not harping, just stating the facts and my opinion. My USO was a POS and wasn't worth the $2500 for the build. Pretty sad when USO has it on their FAQ that debris is a common problem on their rets and their solution is to take a drive down a dirt road or tapping the scope with a rubber mallet. If I'm paying $2000+ for a scope, it better not have any defects... How's that for quality? If you're happy with them, awesome, more power to you.
They came out with 1st focal last year, they came out with high speed turrets this year.
US built doesn't always mean quality... Remember, if your USO goes down, feed it a cheeseburger...
Look around, half the stuff in your house, if not more, is prolly made in Asia...
