I find it funny that many on this forum spew hatred for optics manufactured in China and then also hate on Leopold, the premier American optics manufacturer. Especially when you consider that the majority of Leupolds offerings are competing against China made products, not high end Euro optics.
If only in the interest of full disclosure,every Reupold optic really should ship with a pair of Chopsticks and a Fortune Cookie. Read that again. Now one more time. Hint. Congratulations?!?
In no particular fhuqking order. Hint. LAUGHING!

Now what were you Crying Karens trying to "talk" about,as you set upon your couchbound kchunts and "shoot" your mouths and Imaginations?!? Pardon reality. Hint. LAUGHING!
Bless your hearts,for extolling the "virtues" of CLUELESS Fhuqks buying Schit Riggin'.
It's your Imagination,simply Pretend with it as you MUST...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?
I can hear you melting and rather enjoy your high pitched nasal whine,as you wax eloquent with your Vagina Monologue. Do tell how many Reupolds you "own" and what a "truckload" consists of,due your "means","abilities" and "comprehension". Hint. LAUGHING!
I’m curious how many have been sold after being returned from a warranty repair... 🤔
I sold two of them that had each been returned a couple of times each. I did so with full disclosure, and have never bought another one, and never looked back.
If only to the chagrin of Crying CLUELESS Karens everywhere,it is difficult for them to get a picture of their Imagination and Pretend,despite it being VERY "real" to them...the "lucky" kchunts. Hint. LAUGHING!
Fortunately,Imagination and Pretend are free,so they can "afford" to "contribute". A slow day here,exceeds their wildest fhuqking DREAMS,as they Melt repeatedly. Hint. Laughing!
I should first state that I am lucky to be in a situation where I can afford most any scope I care to purchase, BUT I did not get in that situation by wasting money. I have purchased both new and used Leupold scopes over the past 40 years, about 75 of them. Of those, I have had to send 5 back for warranty repair - 3 that were used when I bought them and arrived broken, 1 I shot loose on a 12 gauge slug gun after about 120 rounds and 1 I bent the tube on when it fell over and hit my gun safe( When I sent this last one in, it was about 30 years old - Leupold totally rebuilt it with VX 3 optics while replacing the tube at my expense - $65 !!) One used one was beyond repair and I got a call asking me to select a new model for free, yes, free. Are there better optics out there? Certainly there are but from my own experiences and now my 4 sons, Leupold is a great company to deal with and has a great product. I still have about 45 Leupold scopes on my rifles and count on them every year.
Just my two cents about an American company. Even my wife knows about Leupold and supports my purchases.
I am by no means a sample, but I have owned ONE Leupold, sent it back twice and sold it after it came back the second time. The scope was not used for dialing, either. Won't do that again.

The only way I buy them is if they are on a used rifle I purchase. The last couple older (vari-x IIC) ones sold on ebay for over $300.00. Bringing the amount I have into a stainless Ruger m77 mkII boat paddle down to $175.00. The same situation with the model 70 7mm-08 classic featherweight. Im glad there are guys out there that adore leupold rifle scopes. Its easy to make a few bucks on them. Also, to answer the ops question, there are a lot of guys that list them as, "just got it back from leupold with a clean bill of health". You do the math.

I see Krylon, stickers and bozo the clown noses.....
I have purchased many Leupold scopes over the years and there are over a dozen in my possession now. A few sent in over the years but they were old scopes in need of attention, or at least I thought they did. Nothing wrong with old scopes sent in and Leupold taking care of them via their life time guarantee. Many other scope brands break out of the box and that has never happened with any genuine Leupold that I have owned. So, if Big Stick hates them so much I am sure the price will be discounted accordingly and I will be interested in buying them. Hint. LAUGHING!!!

Pardon my inability to attach Emotion to an Optical Instrument,as you Crying Karens Melt by the bushel,with your surging Estrogen Levels. Hint. LAUGHING!
Yes I have had 2 other brands I wanted to try who both failed out of the box. One of them wanted me to pay for a repair on a new broken scope! Yes, I don't buy those. Interesting thing though - I bought a used Remington 1187 rifled barreled Slug gun about 25 years ago that had a Tasco 1.5X5 scope on it. I was in a hurry to try the gun so I left that scope on "Temporarily". Damn thing is still on it today - totally dependable, used to be my go to slug gun for about 15 years and Never, ever broke or failed to hold zero. I made some Amazing shots with that gun out to 200 yards - phenomenally accurate. By that account, all Tascos are the best thing out there!!! We are rifle today so that gun sits but it may get used in a new area this year.
Hi Big Stick. I don't know you Sir and am glad we are both in a great nation where our opinions and experiences can be openly expressed. In no way was my post any attempt to refute your opinions or ideas about a product. I simply reflected my own experiences. Yes, some of my rifles are now relegated to safe queens while others are quite more used often. I just don't see any need for name calling as I did not call you out about your opinions. It is the old Ford, Chevy, Dodge stuff - some have had great experiences while others have had a Lemon. Best car I ever had was a Ford, but today I drive a Jeep - go figure. Have a Great Day and vote Trump!!
You are an addled CLUELESS Fhuqk and your lifetime amassed round count,wouldn't match a slow Tuesday afternoon here...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?
Pardon simplistic facts,granting you the notion of an "opinion" being cast on my part. It is simplistic reflection of water passed under the bridge and that reality RELIABLY gets you Karens to crying,as you talk out your asses. Rest ASSURED,nobody can "make" you appear to be a dumber fhuqk than you can,by simply doing your best. Droolers who "know" and "do" as "much" as you,will always be best served by asking questions,rather than giving "answers" and you REALLY should be taking fhuqking notes. Read that again. Now one more time. Hint. LAUGHING!
BUT, I say BUT, Stinky with all of his simple-minded bloviating about his prowess as a shooter, can not produce one single competition target demonstrating said skill.
Stinky is so full of bullchti, and complete lack of actual reality, it just makes him an irrelevant little twit.
So, come on stinky, come back with your usual cut n paste diatribe.
Oooooooopsie! Did yet another Clueless Drooler wish to correlate,that she's a Lying Piece Of Fhuqking Schit(yet again)...the "lucky" kchunt? Hint. Congratulations?!?
At least she "gets" to read about it and swoon the Splendid Pixels and "live" vicariously. Hint. LAUGHING!
Stinky keeps pictures of my posts. I must have some major free rental space in that little drool soaked head of his. Stinky, you were called out by one of your Alaska neighbors to join them at a local range to prove your prowess with your butchered, rusted collection of crap. You ran and hid like the rat you are.

Oooooooopsie! If only in "fairness" to your VERY Tender Feelers,I should add that it's a 30" spout and a straight 1.380" "contour". That very well might could help you Crying Karens,as you assign gender to adhesive,due your ROCKETING Estrogen Levels...you "lucky" kchunts. Hint. Congratulations?!?
Hmmmmmmmm...maybe you Crying Karens did meltdown a little too easy,as it seems that tape isn't even needed! Who fhuqking knew?!? Hint. Congratulations?!?
All of you should just put stinky on ignore, as I do. I also don't even waste my time reading his crap that others post when quoting him. When you respond to his shyt, it just ends up dominating the thread, and that's what he gets off on. The thread WAS about Leupold. Now it is a stinky thread. RJ
I haven't read anything that retarded midget troll has posted in years. Complete waste of my time. Every time someone quotes this loser I'm reminded I made a great choice.
You Crying Karens are at it early,what were the "odds"...you "lucky" kchunts? Hint. Congratulations?!?

PoconoJack: You are very astute and observant! I have been dealing in (used to be an F.F.L.), buying, trading and chasing Leupold products (compasses, binoculars, spotting scopes, rangefinders and Rifle scopes!) for OVER half a century now! Leupold products bring four to five times the interest and interested buyers compared to ANY other optics line! PERIOD! People trust Leupold - and for GOOD reason. Long live Leupold & Stevens - a fine American company. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

Now we know better that an FFL is not required to peddle in used Leupolds. Does that work on the ladies?
I own one Leupold and it has to be 30 years old and is mounted on a Sako L461 that was owned by a deer old neighbor. I have thought about sending it off to see if I could get some upgraded turrets but since I am not a turret twister I don't see the need. I'm pretty confident that it will hold it's zero from now until hell freezes over and will still be accurate when it goes to my son. I don't know if I could say the same about a new one but this one won't be going anywhere any time soon. Maybe it's time I invest in my next Leupold.
Kwg020: I sometimes wonder if "small twig" knows that 99% of the folks familiar with him laugh at his every utterance? The guy (I assume he is male - maybe "metro-sexual"?) is a joke. The only thing he is good for is to laugh at his stupidity and immaturity - and that is a sad commentary on any human being. Not even worthy of a sheesh anymore. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy
Just post a picture of a Tikka rifle with a Leupold scope and shooting Peterson brass. LOL
Stick that, little man.
Going back to the original post, before the thread got stuck in the mud, yes, there is plenty of demand for Leupolds. Many go higher in the classifieds than they can be found for new online.

Well, not a huge sample, but I bought my first Leupold in 1986, still have it - VariX III 1.5-5x20. Now up to 9 rifles from .223 to 350 RemMag with Leupolds. They all work. They all do what I expect a scope to do. Have never had to send one in for repair or service. I don't fiddlefuck with twirling stuff, just sight in and leave them alone. I'm very happy with the product that Leupold puts out. Oh yeah, have a couple of their spotting scopes too.
