Red Dot Recomendation

OK,

I’m the ass here. I just pulled it off its mount and it says “designed in Oregon assembled in USA”, on the bottom, same as the box. The sticker came off my Vortex Micro 3x, it seems. I need to stop buying shit of unknown origin.

Thanks for checking. That makes you not an ass.

+1, it's good to check all this stuff. And it's not always easy to tell, even SageRatSafari acknowledges his information is hard to find, sometimes he can't figure out where an item was manufactured, and indicates that in his data.

More of the companies are aware that people want to know this information, so they're working harder at obscuring or hiding the place of manufacture.

Willing to bet that “designed in Oregon assembled in USA”, indicates “with parts manufactured in China”.

Thought I read on here somewhere that Aimpoint imports their electronics from China.

I would not bet against you, and I also wouldn’t be surprised if “assembled” just meant flip caps installed and transferred to a different box. I’m still a little disappointed in myself for buying one.

Is there proof that Aimpoint is different? No one responded to this.
