I think we hear more about Leupolds going down because there are so many of them in circulation,so naturally we hear about it more.
That's a logical conclusion however, I don't know if the brand Leupold sells more scopes than the others. IIRC, I saw a post several years ago here that was titled something to the effect about most popular equipment list by the numbers. I don't remember who did the survey but it included scopes, bino's, rifles etc etc. I believe it was one of the Jap scope brands that was the number one seller by shear volume alone.
