All About a Leupold Rifle Scope

Leupold and Stevens manufactures a wide range of rifle scopes that are built to endure the wilds. A Leupold rifle scope is dependable, accurate, waterproof and guaranteed for life. The company has been around for over one hundred years and their scopes are used by hunters all over the world. The evolution of the rifle scope began when people started attaching telescopes to their rifles. This, of course, did not provide exactly what they were looking for and it was not until 1880 that the first telescopic scope that actually worked was invented. But the scope was primitive and it was not until around 1930 that Fred Leupold began producing his own rifle scopes.

After World War II the company learned a lot about what was needed to produce the best scopes possible. They learned about waterproofing and durable construction and they also introduced nitrogen gases inside the scope so that the optics would stay waterproof and fog proof. And that would not change; the scopes would stay that way for a lifetime. All these scopes are made in Oregon and they have one hundred years of experience to back them up. When you purchase a Leupold rifle scope you can be assured that you are getting a quality product that will last. These scopes are used extensively by most United States military branches and also by the United States Secret Service

Recently Leupold issued a counterfeit warning to its customers telling them to be on the lookout for illegal scopes that are being illegally imported from China. Since a Leupold rifle scope will have a serial number on them, it would be wise to contact the company at their toll free number (800-538-7653) to verify that the scope you are considering purchasing is a Leupold. You should also check the thin objective ring; if it is a Leupold their name will be etched on it. Most fake scopes will not have a warranty either so never purchase one that does not come with a lifetime warranty.

A Leupold rifle scope will give your rifle a serious boost in performance and accuracy. They offer superior clarity and many of them offer you a generous range of windage and elevation adjustment. The Mark 4 CQ/T scope is fast becoming a favorite among competitive shooters especially because of its unique close and long range capabilities. Prismatic Leupold rifle scopes are great for turkey hunting, or anytime the action is fast and close.

You will not have a problem finding a great rifle scope from their popular line of rugged high quality scopes. And you can be assured that the company stands behind their products.
