I checked both the nikon and vortex out yesterday at bass pro however they didn't have the magnification I was looking for. To be honest I think the vortex had better glass and they were both stamped made in Philippines. I also called vortex and they explained the crossfire II was completely redesigned. Does anyone have a vortex II 2-7x32 that can tell me where it says it was made. I'm concerned about buying one Online and receiving a made in china scope.
