Where are Falcon scopes made?

...just curious, not going to buy one, just scratching my head as to their origin.

"The lenses are sourced from Japan and are made to a specified Falcon standard. The tube and the majority of the assembly are sourced from China and final assembly and quality control happen at Falcon Optics in the United Kingdom. It is a lot of hands to go through for the final product, but with QC checks at each step of the way, it appears that a solid final product is achieved. " From Mel @ Snipercentral

Exactly as it was explained to me by Falcon. The bottom line is that all scopes go through rigorous testing at Falcon before leaving their shop. The value is apparent in the number of happy customers we have had.

I'll still stick with Leupold Mk4's and S&B... I like American/European, and prefer to support those economies anyhow. Just not down with China/Japan, but it's a personal thing, happy these scopes are available.
