PK-A or Falcon Menace 1.5-5?

[LRRPF52]

I really like variable power scopes in the low range, but at the Falcon Menace's price, I'm thinking it has to be made in China=it will probably break and have sub-standard quality out of the box. For a 5.45 AR, maybe the 1.5-5x would be worth trying out. You could also just get a Burris 1-4x XTR for under $300. Those actually hold up well, and are a decent scope with good glass, features. I also believe they are made in Greeley, Colorado.
