Made in the USA
Hey fellas, I was watching the thread on scopes. I hope I'm not messing with a hornet's nest here, but would the USA not be a stronger nation if everyone made a conscious effort to by USA products? I was reading the article on 6br concerning Redding expanding there plant and buying USA built machinery. Now I know it is near impossible to avoid buying imported products all the time. I don't know where I would be able to buy all my clothing if I only chose to buy American. I myself have Leica Geovids, Sako Rifles, and would hate to part with them. I noticed there's a few guys who don't care to do business with Leupold anymore, and I wish Leupold would do a better job with there PR sometimes. Sorry for my rant, but just feel if this country would work together, we wouldn't be in the shape we're in. Stan

I always try to make an effort to buy american even if it costs me a few more dollars. Its definately worth it to me. You make a good point and i hope more of us start thinking the same way.

Usa
Agreed
I buy USA as much as possible. (my Beretta O/U is an exception) Even at work I source US parts over off shore if I can. Even if it rubs a few people wrong...tough LTEK1 |

Its admirable to support your countries industries Stan, and we should all try to do that. But, this from a non US citizens perspective. Lets take Leupold scopes, I have always owned leupold scopes from an early age. This meant saving long and hard to buy them, I have now turned away from them. Put simply I don't think they have remained competitive, either cost wise or quality wise with some other scopes, particularly the Japanese optics. Last year I bought a VX 1 3-9x40, duplex. I was unhappy with it from the word go,to try and adjust the focus was almost a two handed job. This is a common complaint with both the VX 1 & 11 I also found it tracked poorly. I think you can take this home country support a little to far, we have barrel makers in both Australia & N.Z. But my choice of barrel is Pac Nor, I have not tried the home grown barrel though many like them. I just wont change company based on the fact that its aussie or kiwi made

Hmmmmmmm...........gimmie a minute, I know this one...........ummm, doggit man!
Seriously though, I WISHED american products as a whole were better than they are, not saying they're terrible, but when the almighty dollar is the bottom line, then quality is going to be outsourced. Hutch (really wants to buy american )

It seems the US government is making it harder and harder for anybody in the firearms industries to sell to anyone except US citizens.........yet the US government can trade arms with whoever they please. Just doesn't make sense to me. Cheers Kiwi Last edited by Kiwishooter; 06-26-2010 at 03:26 AM. |
