Did you know Holosun is made by China?

Next someone will say their Harleys MADE IN MERICA. Not so.

Also, (although it may already be forum-common-knowledge), when I had it, my Vortex 1-6x Strike Eagle (~$250) was made in China, but my current Vortex Razor II E 1-6x (~$1,000) was made in Japan. I've no idea where the middle-range "Viper" version is made as I didn't buy or handle one of those.

Vipers are made in the Philippines I believe.

The sad part is that its acceptable and becoming the norm to put chinese stuff on tier one combat guns.

Well they seem to be inovating/progressing faster than the competition. Coming out with a new micro sight the size of the shield for smaller handguns that will probably be tougher than the original shield. They check a lot of boxes to include a more reasonable price for most consumers.

What’s sad is what joedirt99 said.

What is popular in the gun world has never been due to that item being reliable, quality, and durable. It’s always been what is cheap and “seems ok because the dots look the same”. The boxes Holosun checks are:

Does it work ok at the range?
Can I afford it since my wife makes more than I do and I need permission?
Does it looks similar to the more expensive optics so I can fool most people?

Like anything else comes down to priorities. I’ve eaten Ramen for a few months to allow me to run a Nightforce on my 10/22. I’m sure some of the same guys with Holosuns have supercharged hot rods and big ass houses.

I have Holosuns on some PSA carbines and an Angstadt Arms 9mm PCC, a Primary Arms ACSS 1-6 on a Ballistic Advantage/PSA mutt, and Aimpoint micro's on my few "higher quality" carbines. I'm probably stupid for having everything that I do instead of a few more higher quality components, but PSA & Holosun definitely let me scratch an itch. If I was better at saving I could have night vision or a nicely set up KAC

Dude, You’re in the wrong thread. Don’t you know that a $20 NC Star is just as good as an Aimpoint?
