A while back I ordered a riflescope from SWFA aka Riflescopes.com
I was waiting with great anticipation at the arrival of a nice new Burris Fullfield II 2-7 X rifle scope to be mounted on my 30-06 for deer hunting.
I was like a child when I saw the magical white box on my doorstep. I went over and cradled the package like a newborn. I opened the box ever so carefully and saw the nice packaging wrapped in plastic.
I looked at the end of the box and saw the specification and just about had an accident in my pants.
MADE IN THE PHILIPPINES
This is completely unacceptable. I bought this scope with the prior knowledge of Burris being 100% USA made. This was a shock. I called SWFA up and spoke about a return. I told them exactly why I was returning the scope. I also inquired if Burris makes any scopes in the USA. The lady got back to me and stated that all of Burris' scopes are USA made except for the Fullfield and the Tactical scopes.
So I am returning the scope and will get the short mag scope which is supposed to be made in the USA . I will wait for the email from Burris concerning this matter for clarification.
What a big disappointment with them.
