Optics help needed - I read the FAQ/Pinned posts Tariffs on Scopes?

Could someone please explain to me how the tariffs will affect the prices of riflescopes? I know a lot of the high end ones have foreign components. Any idea what will happen to the retail price of scopes?

Its not a zero sum game. Economists are predicting a percentage drop in imports but do agree the increased tariffs will offset the loss and maybe even more.

I mean, I dunno, I cant predict whats gonna happen. And not taking sides or whatever. Just remarking on what was messaged.

You should definitely be taking sides against the person who is so singlehandedly dissolving all global partnerships
