I tried to find information on the origin some time ago, every source I found indicated that the NA140SSf was of Chinese origin, the new NA140SS is made wholly in Japan. Just curious how did you came by this info?
I've spoken to a friend in Japan who has dealt directly with Vixen Optics and also said this scope is Japan made. (Edit: in the end I went with a Tak)
