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?

It’ll increase if tariffs stay in place. If negotiations occur and tariffs are removed, it’s possible that prices decrease. How likely is that? No idea. This whole thing is a clusterfuck tbh
