Country of manufacture for Elite 4200 and Weaver Grand Slam
« on: November 26, 2005, 08:38:51 AM »
Are the Weaver Grand Slams still made in Japan by Light Optical Works?

Where are the Bushnell Elite 4200 Manufactured?

Thanks,

Dave

They are both made in Japan, the Elite was made by LOW, but things change, dunno for a fact that they are any more.

Makes me wonder if the new Elite 4200 are made in the old Tasco plant. If they are, I'll have to pass on the Elite 4200. LOW makes some good stuff, I dunno about anything else from overseas. I may go with a Leupold VX-III or Zeiss Conquest.
