I'd be interested to know the numbers. If I had to guess I'd say more european scopes as well as euro firearms are sold here than in europe. Basically because we buy far more guns and shooting items.

Does anybody know the real facts. Not that this would stop a pissing match or anything.

I have no idea of the absolute numbers, but I would guess that the origin of scopes sold in the U.S. looks like this:

1. Asia
2. USA
3. Europe
Don't know of any from Austrailia, S. America, Africa, Antarctica, or other countries in N. America. Weaver components used to be assembled in Mexico, but I don't think any scopes are now manufactured there.

As far as firearms sales, I think the origins would look like this:

1. Asia (maybe or maybe not after the banning of the SKS and AK derivitives).
2. USA
3. S. America
4. Europe

As to whether more European goods are sold in USA than in Europe, I doubt it, but that's just my guess.

Would love to hear from someone who actually has access to sales figures.

I wouldn't know, I recently tossed all my worthless scopes (Leupolds) in the canal near my house. I have gone back to using iron sights, I couldn't stand the heat...Now all my troubles are over.
