Hi Jason,
Many of Orion's scopes come from Synta in China. Although good, the Guan Sheng scopes out of Taiwan have consistently better mirros. You should try to get your scope locally and for that I recommend Andrew's Communication. I have dealt with him many times and he is a great guy and his prices are the lowest in oz. Check them out at:

Hope that helps....
