Pretty sure this scope tube is manufactured at or near the same place as the platinum line as is the Vortex Razor. I have heard Shepherd and Riton optics are very similar in design and functionality as well for an additional reference point. While Shepherd is part of an American company located in Florida, it's components are most definitely sourced by Japan.

These are not made in the same factory as the Vortex Razor or Platinum. These are made by Japan Optics Limited which is a lower tiered Japan manufacturer when compared to Light Optical Works (LOW). LOW is the premium Japan manufacturer that makes the Razors and almost all high end optics from larger optics companies.
