I agree with you, BUT the consumer has little choice since stores with reasonable prices only stock China stuff. Finding something made in USA is near impossible.

Hunting deer in NY for years with a 1.5-4 power variable. Rarely used more than 2 power.
Got a deer in TX at over 400 yards with a fixed 4 power. The point I'm making is that much too much emphasis is placed on the scope. Know your rifle's and load's ballistics.
Light rifle is best. Carry all season and you may get two or three shots. So you don't need the weight to dampen recall. Make carrying your main interest.

They didn't do that for me when I renewed my driver license. I had no license for two weeks. It had taken six plus weeks to get a license from the time I mailed in for renewal. They are swamped because of covid19.
