Rifle Scopes New help with a NFS question A.S.A.P.

[Howie Feltersnatch]

Quick question about NF optics. I assumed they are made in the U.S.A. but I encountered one (never looked at one close enough) that has a "Made in Japan" on the bottom of the 30mm tube part. Is this normal or could this be a possible fake? Thanks in advance!

That's normal. The NF F1 and the 2.5x10-32 are made in the US the others are made in Japan.

Thanks Jamie. That explains it. The one I am going to get is 3.5-15x50. Wheew that's good news!

My 3.5-15x50 nxs is made in japan. Don't worry about it. Take it out, use it, enjoy it. One of the best values for the money.

I'm buying the one FS in the optics forum. I showed a friend of mine and was curious to know about the Japan labeling. I can't wait to get it! I didn't realize it had 40 more MOA adjustability than my Mark4. That sold me, not to mention I hear they are pretty much the best.

I have a 2.5x10-32 on the way for my MK12 build. I am looking forward to trying it out...all my other optics are MK4's.

All quality glass is either from Germany or Japan.
Japan is just fine...China is the new maybe....

I prefer USA made stuff but I drive a Toyota and it runs great.

Actually, I much prefer my Toyotas to be made in Japan over the good ole' US of A.

Nightforce scope components are made in Japan, but the scopes are actually assembled in Idaho.
