I have settled on the C9.25 as my compromise crossover visual/imaging scope. My understanding is that production shifted from the USA to China for these scopes. I am hoping someone with experience with both versions can share their opinion on which is better, if there is a difference at all. In other words, do I buy a new 'Made in China' or older 'Made in USA' I am also curious as to copy-to-copy differences. I.E. what are the odds of getting a bad copy new?

My C9.25 is 7 years old and the image is pretty good. But the threaded connector on the rear cell came loose slightly enough to rotate when attaching equipment to it. I had to drill into the seam and insert thick wire to act as a stop. I used some thick copper wire, 10 ga. I think.
But it wasn't pretty when I was done. Not sure the Chinese manufacture fixed this.
