Don’t matter if you have them, the answer to the question is “yes” to the ones you mentioned

Does Leupold have any intention of “carving out their own niche” (classic styled scopes, fixed powers, etc.), or are they just gonna try and compete with Vortex and “every other China import optic company”, now???

Leupold is also an import company and has been in the past. They also have product and components from China and Japan and probably other places in Asia. Theyre just as much an import company as anyone else.

If people were buying them, they’d still be making them.

Guess what? Next scope thing to disappear will probably be the one inch tube. I hope that doesn't happen 'till after I'm dead. RJ

IMHO Leupold is making some dumbass decisions. I sent them an email to the that effect. No response.

They have the tooling. Why not just make less quantities or make them special order?

IMHO Leupold is making some dumbass decisions. I sent them an email to the that effect. No response. Which decisions are you referring to? I think there’s a difference between “keeping up with the times” and “chasing fads”. I’m concerned that Leupold DOESN’T know the difference. Maybe a company can make some lightweight “classic” scopes (and OWN that market) while ALSO trying to develop product for the guys who like to twist turrets, rather than going “all in” on the tactical vibe, and relegate an entire market share to trying to find used stuff on eBay and Gunbroker... Weaver and Nikon have not been shut down that long. That’s more market share available to Leupold, if they don’t jump the gun, and start eliminating many/most of THEIR “non-tactical” models, as well. There IS a place for 4x/6x/2-7x/3-9x/4-12x scopes that don’t have massive turrets/eyepieces/objectives, and don’t have reticles that cause headaches.

If there were Weaver and Nikon would still be making scopes High light transmission variables that track and hold zero is where the market is

I suspect they know their business.
I actually feel they are starting to move in a more positive direction. I base that only on seeing them involved in shooting comps (PRS/NRL) and building some very good scopes for this. Minor I know, but it's something. I'd still like to see the custom shop back and see renewed efforts on "hunting" scopes.

If there were Weaver and Nikon would still be making scopes High light transmission variables that track and hold zero is where the market is There WASN’T enough “market” for Jeep/Bronco/Blazer/Ramcharger in the late 90’s. They all quit production, EXCEPT Jeep. Jeep ended up OWNING that market, AND suceeding, because they were the “only game in town”. Weaver and Leupold pretty much figured out how to make a hunting scope that would hold zero by the late ‘70’s. Doesn’t take a lot of R&D to do that at this point. You just gotta make the product. I’m not saying that Leupold should keep/put all their eggs in that basket, but with essentially NO ONE (even Burris’ offerings are limited) in the “classic style” sub-$400 market, now.....
