Leupold scopes

Do they have the same quality that they had lets say 35 years ago?

They are tough to beat, made only in America, and they were my go to scope for years. I now also like Vortex for the money and quality.
Assembled in America and still a great warranty. Optically, I would say that 20 years ago they were behind the curve. I think they had become complacent and were slow to react to the competition. Now they are back to putting out competitive products that are as good optically and more durable than a lot of other brands. Expensive, but you get what you pay for. Bob
IMHO, they are over-rated and overpriced, but having said that, they do stand by their warranty even if you have to send the same scope back twice..
Just recently bought a Leupold CDS and I am really happy with it. The CDS dials are dead on and very simple to use
Got one for my AR, love it.
Don't know-never owned one. Zeroed several and didn't see much/any difference in quality vs some other brands so I didn't spend the extra for the 'gold ring'.
Yes. It’s almost all I use. The modern ones are far superior to my 80s and 90s ones. I don’t buy any that aren’t 30mm tubes now. Better eye box and low light. Target knobs are also superior now.
I broke a 2000s vx-2 and it was replaced without delay. My fault
i have a vx6, 4 vx5, several mk4s, I love the 1.5-5 fire dot for ar types+ 3-9 fire dot for my ar22
a Leupold replaced the kahles on my .375 and is far superior (admittedly newer) but I sold the kahles for more. I have owned nightforce, IOR, and others but prefer Leupold
I've got 'em on 3 different rifles and love 'em.
Currently have 18 of 'em, only scope I will own.
Just remember there's many counterfeits out there if buying and they're very hard to spot. I myself can't see the difference but many can, the company surely can spot the difference if you send one in under warranty....they'll let you know. Just like Nike and other name brand items counterfeits abound.

That would be a" lot." 😮
A lot of scopes, yes. Just not a PLETHORA of scopes! 😁
18 scopes in NOT a 'lot'. Just guessing I have that many that I consider 'transients' (meaning used scopes that get shuffled from rifle to rifle for bore break in, accuracy/function testing, and such). If the rifle is worthwhile THEN it gets a scope appropriate for it's intended purpose.
KEY WORD, LEUPOLD, 18 of them is a "lot" of LEUPOLD scopes. I stand firm IMO!😋
