FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Where are your scopes, binoculars, or spotting scopes made? Who makes your glass? Who makes your bases and rings? What shipping restrictions do you have? What torque specs do you have for your rings and bases? What size wrenches are required for your bases and rings? Can I change the reticule in my scope? What is the turn around time for repairs? Who fixes your binoculars? Why do some scopes have blue rings or yellow tinted glass? How do I change my battery and what size is it? Why is my reticule off to one side? How do I re-zero my tactical knobs? What warranty do I get if I buy a used scope? Where are your scopes, binoculars, or spotting scopes made? The majority is made in Romania but some products come from Germany and are 100% Made in Germany. In many instances our competitors optics will have a German or U.S.A. name on them but they are made in the Orient, usually China. If it says "MADE IN"in front of a country name, that is where it is from. We import our glass and illumination circuits from Germany, but we make everything else under one roof. We cut, grind, polish and coat our own lenses unlike 98% of our competitors. We make our own tubes and do not use assemblies made in other countries. We know with certainty who we deal with on a daily basis. Just because you sign a contract for glass or lenses with a Japanese company does not mean they cannot subcontract that out to the Philippines or China, etc. They can legally stamp whatever you want on a scope tube or a pair of binoculars and many times a buyer is blinded by brand name recognition and fails to realize their $700.00 binoculars cost $25.00 at the dock. Since the only place to buy high quality raw OPTICAL GRADE glass is Japan or Europe, the market of manufacturing is quite small and cozy and we all know each other quite well. We control 100% of our manufacturing on riflescopes and binoculars, and that is why our standard of quality is apparent in each product we bring to the market. Who makes your glass? All our glass in all our products is made by SCHOTT GLASSWERK in Germany. All our scopes feature etched reticules. Who makes your bases and rings? We do. We make steel products out of 4140 and alloy products out of 7075 and 6061. We have outsourced to US companies only in the past due to demands, but for the most part we keep it in the family. What shipping restrictions do you have? Valdada Optics can only ship products within the United States of America. This includes riflescopes, bases, rings, mounts, and technical information pertaining to such items. What torque specs do you have for your rings and bases? Valdada Optics recommends 12 INCH POUNDS for our ring caps. Our heavy duty V-Tac rings with 1/2" nuts or 7/16" nuts can be tightened to 65 INCH POUNDS on picatinny platforms but that is a MIL-SPEC standard and not necessary for standard applications. Usually after the nuts are finger tight, additional force of about 90 degrees is more than enough to hold your rings to your bases. Standard hand pressure is enough with our QD style lever rings.
