Primary Arms in their promo videos say they are a USA firm, with USA Tech Support, design, R&D, etc., that then contracts (directly) with a factory/manufacturer in Japan to build the scopes. No mention of China. Not sure what Leupold is, but from the statements Primary Arms makes I would think that at least their Mark IV product is also Japanese. From my understanding Japan is preferred to China or the Philippines for scope manufacturing (but I really don't know.)

I have now pulled the trigger on the Raptor, so I guess I will be able to report back better one way or the other at some point.
