Leupold Erases American Values

[FireInTheWire]

And I will no longer look at them as a scope option

 

[candcallen]

I'll take any free Leupold stuff you guys just gotta throw out and use it to death.

Kill it.

Then run it over.

Then piss on it.

Seriously I wouldn't buy it either but I ain't gonna go scorched earth. Let them destroy themselves, they seem to be doing fine all alone not keeping up with the competition and poor buisness choices.

Why? Unless your buying Razor HD AMG, it’s produced overseas. And for that money, there’s much better options.

Yep. Much better glass out there on their low end stuff. Nikon P223 was much better and clearer than the comparable Vortex offering. I was shocked after hearing how awesome Vortex is. Now in the $1K range, their stuff is nice. But how many of us have more than one of those? I only have one.

Are you sure about this?

From their website.............

Leupold riflescopes are all designed, machined, and assembled in our Beaverton Oregon manufacturing facility. We do not have any other riflescope manufacturing facilities or offices anywhere in the world. So if you come across a Leupold riflescope being shipped into the United States from China, it is a very likely a counterfeit.

I'll keep my Lupys because they work. Won't be buying any of new. PS I am looking for an older pair of Gold ring brown Binocs. 8x40- 10x40 or 42?

I couldn't afford the box.

 

[wakosama]

just buy the old ones.

Night Force, if your daughter doesn't need that car to get to work.

I don’t understand. The Burris scopes I own are all US made with Japanese glass. Their customer service has been incredible.
Sucks to hear about Leupold. What a frucking shame. I have four old school Leupold scopes VX 1,2,3 variety. Great glass. The 4x VX has to be 40 years old

I doubt their administration and workforce today is comparable to 40 years ago.

 

[wakosama]

so now I wonder if we're automatically rejecting them because someone on here just claimed/said/rumored that they suck??? kinda like current public opinion. fact checking. it's so easy. so this got me wondering... so now I have to go find out for myself. didn't used to be that way. and I got better things to do prep for the 'global warming event' about to hit TX than research a formerly reputable USA company. maybe the guy was a commie. It's Oregon. so defriend me...

I concur. I have a Nikon M-223 on one of my bolt guns and I am happy with it. Even made sure to keep the sticker on it

Raffs in Lyman Alaskan!

Nikon Prostaff is the best scope I have. I think they're discontinued now.

 

[wakosama]

A yes for Nikon made in Japan, if you can afford it. Old folks might remember Tasco Japan was primo.

Nikons prostaff series was pretty nice. I still have a few. I think Burris low end stuff made in the Philippines is way nicer than anything vortex brings out in the same price range.

If I am spending serious money I just go straight to Zeiss or Leica.

 

[easy rider]

LMAO! One scope manufacturer leads to crapping on other manufacturers, you guys kill me.

 

[zackmars]

Leupold. What a sad sad company. They can't do anything right. Anything.

Man, I grew up with Leupolds on all the hunting rifles. First I've heard of problems. I would say they're my first choice. Haven't bought a scope in some time. When I do I'll have to read up.

I have a Zeiss. Wish I could afford them on everything.

Next time you are at Scheels, take a look at Leica. Amazing clarity
