    Yes just like their auto manufacturers: "DI Optical USA is the US subsidiary of South Korean firm DI Optical." I can't tell you how many times I thought a Hyundai or Kia was their US or Euro car they copied! I guess it's flattery for Aimpoint. If they are making good products for less cost I guess that's OK.
    It's great for a handgun and my first interest in it was after playing call of duty with the lil red dot that look like the rmr.

    One of their affiliate partners is Sig Sauer. That should tell you all you need to know.

    I don't know if that was a jab at Sig, but I do know that Sig is known for selling crappy aftermarket accessories. Maybe they've been keeping an ear to the net and want to step their game up by offering higher-quality bits. South Korea has the highest avg. IQ (106 I think) of any country and my wife's Hyundai has been going 30,000 miles strong with nary a problem, while her Ford started suffering after only 6,000 miles. So... being made in South Korea is not an issue to me. Aimpoints are made in Sweden. I've visited both countries and both are awesome. I'm not going to be a guinea pig, but these may have potential. Someone buy one and write a review.

    They are good marketers, profitable, sell to the masses versus the elite. Point taken.

    Yes, as a matter of fact I have an DI Optics RV-2 sitting here in front of me. I will post a detailed report soon. It is going back to the dealer on Monday. Very disappointed would be putting it lightly.
