So would it be possible to manufacture in Hungary and maintain the same level of quality as is the norm in Germany? Given a committed company with a committed German quality control regime I can’t see any reason why it wouldn’t be. We tend to respect goods made in Germany for example because German people have earned a well deserved reputation for taking quality seriously. Is it possible to maintain the highest level of quality control over goods made in a foreign culture? I believe it is but it takes careful selection of the place where you will be doing your manufacturing considering the cultural environment and the impact of that cultural environment on the work ethic of your contractors and/or employees. There are, of course, other manufacturers who are not quite so open about the sources of their parts or where and by whom those parts are assembled and tested. One thing I really like and respect in this new development from Schmidt and Bender is that they are being completely open and up-front about where this new line of rifle-scopes is being made. The advantage for Schmidt and Bender in manufacturing a line of rifle-scopes in Hungary is, of course, that production costs are a bit less expensive, and this saving can be passed on to customers in the form of lower prices. Partly because it reminded me of old friends, and partly because the “Hungaria” line of rifle-scopes are the traditional “Klassik” that are so well respected in knowledgeable shooting circles. So when I saw that Schmidt and Bender have begun making a new line of rifle-scopes in Hungary it immediately got my interest. So I acquired a considerable respect for Hungarian people, certainly the ones I knew were ethical and gentile, with a delightfully Eastern European mild eccentricity mixed with a strong sense of tradition that made time with them all the more interesting and fun. Back when I was living in the Australian Goldfields my group of shooting friends included some Hungarians who made some of the best salami I’ve ever come across and also a very palatable cherry brandy.
