Maybe Leupo is going after military sales? Tactical sunglasses. Just another revenue stream from the government.
Perhaps diversifying isn't a bad strategy for them. They lost the SVPS scope contract that went to SIG. Former Leupold employees are in charge at SIG now. I wouldn't be surprised if the contracts followed those guys, for good or bad.

Anyone try the Leupo sunglasses?
I admit that I wish they would focus their efforts on rugged scopes, but I also realize that they are trying to be a sports optic/outdoor company and not just a specialized scope company like Nightforce.

Close down the custom shop and start adding product lines completely unrelated to the existing products. Seems like a good business decision.

Think I'll stick with my Ray Bans. Look into the parent company, Luxottica, they can kiss my ass, I don't mind them buying up companies, but the way they went about it was criminal. Hostile Takeover Of Oakley and Ray-Ban Luxottica brands

I liked my Oakleys. Had em for years, and then lost em. Got Magpul for replacement. They're OK (think Oakleys were better). Gotta wear something in the dove fields.

Will they track dependably or should I wait until NF brings out a set? Ask her, she tried a pair. Had a girl friend that looked like that after about 6 tequila shots. Then she just wanted to fight. The trick was to get her to stop at 5.

Magpul already did it so I guess it was a matter of time....the Harley Davidson business model. Use your reputation to market an obscene number of logo gear items. Beer koozy's, sun glasses, key chain bottle openers, tumblers, rotomolded coolers.... HD rubbers............Hog Skins..........

I get Magpul doing it. They do a ton of plastic stuff. Shooting/safety glasses doesn't seem to be a stretch.
Of course you could pull out some old Bushnell aviator style and play Doug from the Limu Emu commercials.

Hot damn!
Something else to hate Leupold for!
If we could only tie in Remington somehow!
Imagine a corporate oligarchy so effective, so advanced and fine tuned that its citizens still call it a democracy.

Doesn't Remington license out their name on safety glasses, seems like I saw them some where.
Hell, the king of licensing is Browning, I see that crap everywhere.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
