i was searching for info on the Burris Droptine 4.5-14x42 (considering it for my Diana 34) and found this article on the history and manufacture of Burris scope . i thought some here might find it interesting . here's a little snippet ......
" ..... With the exception of the scope tubes, which are machine-bored from a single, solid piece of aluminum, everything manufactured by Burris and Steiner is assembled by hand, Hennig said. The average scope has 170 individual pieces and goes through about 400 steps before it is shipped to the customer. Each scope takes on average six hours to manufacture.
Although not every product is made in America, 100% of Burris products are tested and inspected in the 8th Street plant. ...."
