Anyone use the GPO Passion APO 20-60x85mm spotting scope?

[mash4077]

I’m considering buying the GPO passion APO 20-60x85mm spotting scope but I have some concerns.
It does not mention if it’s made in Japan or China.

It supposedly has a great warranty like Vortex but it is a newer company so that is a worry how long they will be around if there is ever an issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

We feel you'll be impressed with this spotter. These scopes are designed and quality control checked in Germany and assembled in China.
GPO has been around for about a decade, started by the ex president of Zeiss USA and Zeiss' Research & Development guy. They are a well established company.

I was afraid of that. I was hoping they were made in Japan like the Passion HD binoculars.
