Life time warranty. I have a Viper atop my Sig 3000.
Viper: Phillippines
Crossfire: China
also this from gunforum eleswhere
Called Vortex & spoke to Sandy she was very pleasent & was kind enough to give me the following info:
Razor=made in Japan including the glass.
Vipers=made in Japan including the glass.
{different model vipers made in 2 countries}
Diamondbacks =made in Phillipines,not sure of the glass.
Almost all the others out source. Almost all glass is made in Asia and for many companies scopes and other optics are also assembled there.
Even Leupold and Burris source their glass from Asia.
The only company in the world that manufactures their optics in house including glass is Schmidt-Bender.

You are correct, it is not just glass, but many other scope parts are made abroad and assembled in the USA. People that think scopes are MIUSA need to rethink.

I use them a lot when I am working and they have traveled all over and been in all kinds of weather and terrain. They never fogged up and have been waterproof(yes they got submerged a few times).
