Leupold Optics began its journey in 1907 when Fred Leupold and Adam Volpel founded Leupold Volpel & Co, initially crafting hand-made surveying equipment. In 1942, the company was renamed Leupold & Stevens. According to legend, during a hunting trip in the 1940s, Marcus Leupold missed a buck due to his rifle scope fogging up. Determined to create a better scope, he introduced the Plainsman in 1947, which marked Leupold’s entry into the world of high-performance optics.

Today, Leupold Optics is a leader in the optics industry, producing a wide range of high-quality products including hunting rifle scopes, tactical scopes, target scopes, pistol and shotgun scopes, as well as red dot sights, scope mounts, binoculars, range finders, and spotting scopes. Leupold also offers performance shooting glasses and sunglasses, all meticulously crafted by dedicated American workers who ensure every product upholds the company’s legacy of exceptional craftsmanship. Leupold Optics is built for those who are relentless in their pursuit of excellence.
