Tough to find a good Red Dot Scope

Does anyone know of a reasonably priced red dot sight not made in china? Not trying to step on any toes, but I'm saddened by the way they're taking over the optics industry.

I was about to order a Truglo red dot to mount on my exomax, but discovered that they're made in china.
I'm pretty sure bushnell is also china.

Try the Varizone scope Excalibur makes.

I have a Bushnell Sportsman 1 x 23 for one of my rifles and it is NOT made in China. It's made in Korea.

Stay away from Bushnell/Tasco as they will not stand behind there products. I had two that had problems and sent them in for repair. They sent them back with a letter advising they would replace them for 70.00 each. I tossed them in the trash. Thanks Book

Almost any scope will work fairly well on a crossbow. You're only shooting a relatively short distance anyway. Although I'm not a big fan of "Made in China", the quality is getting better and better with everything they make. You just have to filter through the obvious junk from other product that is truly amazing for the price. Just about everything that can be made, is now being made in China. Go to your local Walmart and see. (Heck, I can still remember when "Made in Japan" was considered junk. Look at the Japanese products now! )
