I just ordered a pair of Olympic 10X50 and was wondering who actually makes them?

I have a pair, you have to look very hard to find it - they are made in China.

If memory serves me correct, and unless things have changed, Leupold does not actually make those binos (unlike their riflescopes).

I honestly don't know WHO makes them, but I do know, as was stated, that they are made in the far east.

They are made at differnet factories throughout the orient. One batch might be from China, another might be from Songapore, etc. They are all brand labeled and many of the same binos can be found at a fraction of the cost with a different name slapped on them. Price, rather than quality is the main focus of these binos.

Nothing like good ol' Leupold.....made right here in the USA! OH, maybe some of them are made here, others are not. Ranburr is right.....Wind River = asian made.

I though they were all made in Japan. And they are not Leupolds, they are Wind River, and they are improted by Leupold and they are advertised that way. They are also very good glass for the money.

Leupold stamps their name on it......marketing it under the Leupold line. Just the facts. So the fact does remain that SOME of the Leupold line is mnade in USA.....with Japanese glass.
