GPO Scopes -- Where are they made?
I keep getting stuff about GPO optics and when I go to their site I read a lot of references to German optics but I don't see anything actually stating their scopes are made in Germany or the USA. Other scope makers make all sorts of claims and then I find out their scopes are made in China to...
Most are made in China per Doug from Camerland. Post #8

Ok scope is in: It is very Zeiss Conquestie......
Very similar optics, razor sharp eye box right to the edges. Certainly comparable to VX3 Leupold in many ways. The click of turrets is NOT like a Nightforce......lol. So if your big into dailing and already wearing a hearing aid this may not be for you. When compared to other $250 scopes to include Sig Sauer, Nikon, Athlon it smokes them easy......
Cameraland had this one last week for $269 with free shipping! It comes with a card promotion for 5 extra turret dials; of 5 popular calibers to mimic the CDS sorta system. Free of charge from GPO........ at this price range you will be hard pressed to beat it imho.... 14oz weight and a tad shorter overall, than my Zeiss. Be perfect on an ultra lite rifle..... I am now watching for a deal on the 4x14 model....

338 I misquoted the assembly it is actually
the Philippines!
A fella posted over on SH, GPO says scope is made in Japan to their specs, shipped to Philippines for final assembly with their quality control inspectors approval before th hey can make it out the door.
Warrantee is unconditional and lifetime...
