I don't have access to their books, but when I see a schit ton of scopes being discontinued and a whole lot less being 'introduced', it gives me pause to wonder why.
Folks don't normally worry about belt tightening if they are doing well.
Leupold has been in the scope business for a goodly while. If these other companies can figure out how to build scopes that can be dialed, accurately, without breaking down, Leupold should be able to also.
Have they not been tracking customer buying and shooting trends? Or did they get away from their core customer base? The consumer profits from competition, and I certainly don't want to see them going out of business, especially after already losing Nikon.
Most growing businesses expand their offerings. Businesses starting to have problems sometimes 'restructure'. Businesses in trouble contract their offerings.
We shall see what we shall see.
