Rifle Scopes Leupold VX-R Patrol. Made in USA?

[MitchInOR]

The 1.25-4 in particular.

I am looking at a scope in the 1-4 magnification range around $500 or less. That could seal the deal.

This comes up from time to time. Here's what we know:

Lupy does not mark their scopes with "Made in ....."

Lupy does import at least some of their scopes

Lupy does have extraordinary custom modification/manufacture capability in-house

The rest seems to be rumor or conjecture. I've asked personally a few times and got a different answer every time, as does the local store rep here.

Bottom line, Lupy is still an American family owned company, and if they were to 100% make their scopes in house they wouldn't be at the price they are offered

I recently purchased the scope the OP references. It is very nice. No complaints. I half expected the box/scope to say Made somewhere overseas, because of the price. However, there is no Made in... marking on box or scope at all. Overall happy with the purchase though.

Yes, let me clarify, it is a very nice scope with clear glass, lightweight, and the customer feedback on these has been excellent

I just got a Leupy VX-R 3-9X Patrol from Scott. Great little scope and highly recommend Liberty Optics. Love the VX-R illumination. In the 1-4X line, if you want a true 1X on the low end, the Leupold VX-R doesn't do it @ 1.25X. Check out the Burris MTAC 1-4X for your price range. They are $399 and really liked by the 3gun shooters. Nothing else really in your price range unless you can find a used Meopta Kdot 1-4X or a Burris XTR. The Weaver 1-3X is also a great little scope if you really want to save some jing, but no illumination.

I love mine, great glass for the price. They finally seemed to have gotten the issues with lighting worked out; automatic shut off, bright in daytime, one button on and off. The mil/mil is nice, wish it was front focal but not a deal breaker.

Well what I think I want is a low magnification scope that I can use for hold overs with 300 blackout.

Other choices would be the Viper PST or even the Falcon 1.5-5.
I'm liking the PST because it's 1x and the Falcon as it's less than half of the others.

But if the Leupold was a true USA product that could be favorable.

I wanted a vortex but got tired of waiting for them to come back in stock. The falcon looks good, I like the reticle, capped turrents, but the weight, its to heavy.

They are great scopes. I'm told the VX-R made in the USA. We have only gotten good feedback on them.
