The Brunton company is based in Riverton, Wyoming, but their NRA Sports Optics line was made in China (I think they're discontinued now). I put a 3-9x40 with fast focus ocular ring and etched-glass ballistic reticle on a .270 Win. because I found a great close-out deal on them a couple of years ago. The optics are really not bad, they are water/fog/shock proof and have a lifetime warranty, so I think they are worth a try. My wife has used this setup through two hunting seasons now with no problems whatsoever. They are basically an entry level scope and if you can find one it should have a pretty good discount. I think I only gave about $100 for the 3-9 on closeout.
