....our gov is in a difficult position....cracking down on counterfeit goods from red china...theft of our technology...infiltration of private and gov websites...and still having to borrow money from one of our enemies...leupold can't pursue this cause red china won't listen (and neither will our state dept)....
as far as,leupold's reputation...well,if they are using red chinese components in their optics,i'm hoping leupold understands the position they could be placing themselves in....maybe that's why the REDFIELD line is in place...to increase their bottom line against other red chinese brands.
