[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 828045, member: 39764"] I didn't 'tell' you anything. I suggested. You asked (posted) so I replied. My other comment is Burris may be a Colorado company but like the majority of optics distributors, they aren't made stateside. They are an importer of offshore optics. For example, Hawke is headquartered in Fort Wayne, Indiana but their scopes and other optical items come from across the pond and Vortex is in Wisconsin (or Minnesota) but their optics come from various countries including China and the Philippines (I know where my Vipers are made, it's engraved on the erector). I don't consider Burris to be a premier optic. The only Burris I like at all is the one that auto ranges but it's a cumbersome, proprietary mounted unit. If it was me, I'd sell the odd rifle and invest in something more long range, but thats just me. I presume you are an adult and can rationalize your upcoming hunt and what it entails. Keep in mind that the shot (and animal) of a lifetime is only one shot away...or a miss. Why take a chance. Mount the best you can afford and increase your chances for success. As an aside, very few optics are made here today. Reason being is the labor is too costly and domestically made pushes the cost to an uncompetitive level. [/QUOTE]
