[QUOTE="436, post: 563491, member: 16609"] Leupold? I go back a very along ways with Leupold. Some of my first hunting scope’s, were Leupold. When I was an LEO (25 years) I picked up one of their, then very knew M1 10X and M3 6X Ultra scopes, mounts and rings for my’…, also then new M24…The US Navy showed Leupold how to make this scope and the optic’s they wanted, few know more about optic’s’…, like the US Navy does. The M1 scope I gave to my son with the M24 rifle 10 years after I left the department. The Ultra eventually became the MK 4 scope line… its still holding its zero year after year. I have NF and a few other scopes on my rifles. But the majorities are Leupold’s; from their 1x4 28mm .223 scope to the 8.5x25 50mm Tac series for LR shooting. I understand how a guy would feel over losing a hunt do too malfunction of a product; it’s not a happy meal moment. However, Leupold has been a “stand by” their customer company from day one… If their doing business with or in China; well’ I’m not a fan of that either, and the sooner they get it back to the US the better many buyer will feel I’m sure, are your willing to pay more for the “all” US made product?; you can’t have your cake and eat it too, they have to stay completive in today’s market. With any luck those jobs may come back. As for the Leupold company; when one “ah-s—t” wipes out all the “that a boys”… it’s a little unfair to a very fine US based company. That’s pretty much like being asked to play the game with the deck stacked against the payer. They’ve had failures, but they’ve hand many, many successes. They’ve been a strong supporter of all manner of shooting sports, law enforcement and military. I’ve had a buying relationship with Leupold from 1964 to day… what I’ve found most satisfying is the people that work there; all are very helpful, very professional and just plain nice to deal with. Well’ that’s just my experience with Leupold... for what it’s worth. 436 [/QUOTE]
