To the OP - foreign or domestic optics?

On our last range visit, my son and I shot an Italian Beretta 92, Serbian AK47, and an FN PS90 made in Belgium. Seems I have no sense of 'made in USA' with the guns..... however...

I seem to gravitate toward USA ammo, gun cases, and accessories. The price of firearms has had an interesting dynamic in the last 10 years. The optics in terms of USA made stuff seems like the price hasn't changed much. But, if you are talking about imported optics, seems most of them are less expensive and might be catching up a bit in terms of performance.

Keep in mind I am an iron sights guy on all of my guns, but the PS90 simply requires an optic. It has an old school Vortex Sparc which I am nearly certain was made overseas.... so a $1400 rifle with a (then) $ 100 optic, and it is a match made in heaven.

At the time I could not justify the enormous cost of a US made optic, but I wish it was so equipped...
