They all have some products that are better than others.

Depending on model, these companies will source either assembly or parts from the following countries:

China
Japan
Germany
Czech Republic
USA
I'm sure there are others.

Rustic was obviously either being facetious or just threw a dart at a world map and spouted off whatever country it landed on.

There is no component whatsoever in any of those rifle scopes of North Korean origin.

Was this mystery brand pronounced M-I-N-O-X, Z-E-I-S-S, or M-E-O-P-T-A, per the OP's question?

I didn't think so.

No these were much lower end quality but, not on price. Typical European price very high over there. The tactical was if I recall right 399 euros and the regular was 270 something. I am thinking they are similar to BSA in their fit and finish.
