weren't a lot of Eotechs junk and they were forced to send the money back to the buyers?
how do you feel about GM taking most of the bailout money which isn't paid back and setting up shop in china and mexico or Harley taking bailout money in 83 now moving to either india or china. what about 99% of scope makers using Japanese lenses? every chevy truck I had up to the 90's was made in Canada. every Japanese car or truck I had was made in the US. many US companies moved offshore and in a matter of a few weeks including ford stopped a few more moving offshore.
supporting US workers just doesn't work out to well these days because of the greed of big companies
The Eotech weakness is short battery life and a possible zero shift in intense cold, not issues that affect my use on .22 rifles. For a .22 it's a superb optic with non-critical eye relief, a large field of view and a fine 1 moa reticle for aiming. They may not be perfect but many gave yeoman service in a lot of harsh military and LEO use. They also stood behind the product and have issued a heck of a lot of money in refunds.
As far as Government Motors, I refuse to buy them and have long before they sold out to Obama. My last three vehicles have been made in the USA Hondas, two CRV's and a Pilot. If I buy a new vehicle it'll almost certainly be another Honda or possibly a Toyota. Harley's don't especially thrill me, my bike is a 1980's BMW that was a gift. No problem with Japanese optics, they at least are a non-communist, democratic country that is friendly to the US. They also make superb products, particularly in optics.
No offense meant here, but you sure seem to have quite a chip on your shoulder about anyone who disagree's with you on this subject regardless of the reason. You seem to believe that anyone that prefers to buy higher-end optics is basically an idiot who is getting ripped off because all company's that provide them are greedy no-good scumbags, doubly so if they are big, no exceptions. and if they have the gaul to offer a no questions asked unconditional warranty if can only be because they grossly overcharge upfront. It can't be that they make a high quality product that is so well made that it has a very low failure rate, so they can well afford to offer this level of customer service because it has huge benefits in customer satisfaction and is so well known and approved of by the folks that buy their type of product that it has become an asset in increasing sales.
