An American, family-owned, fifth-generation company, Leupold & Stevens was founded in 1907. During World War II, Leupold worked with the US Army and Navy to create a riflescope for use on board ships. Over a century later, Leupold is still known for their ruggedness, absolute waterproofing, and superior optical quality. Since the beginning, Leupold has preserved its original philosophy, that “Leupold promises to never let down on quality, the customer is entitled to a square deal.”
