Hoppes - sad news
« on: July 26, 2010, 05:27:34 PM »
 Hello everyone

Ran out of good old Hoppes 9 and noticed the new packaging says Made in China. I called Bushnell today who owns Hoppes and they confirmed today that all Hoppe's products are made in China. Kind of sad, since I am from PA and this is where old #9 was invented and produced for many years.

I feel like a part of tradition is now gone.

American well water is still sweet and free, the air is clean, the wind strong, and game is plentiful.  Maybe that's Paradise.
