Leupold

You know us, because we’re a lot like you. We work hard. We’re innovators. We hunt and shoot, and we generally get out a lot. Above all, we’re a family.

Our story starts here.

1907

Before we werea company,we were a family.

Fred Leupold and Adam Volpel—who had been brothers-in-law for eight years and close friends before that—go into business together.

Fred Leupold makes a promise that guides us to this day:The customer is entitled to a square deal.

Phone It In

J.C. Stevens keeps inventing. This time, it’s the Telemark, a revolutionary water level recorder that uses telephone signals to transmit information.

1940’s

“Hell! I could build a better scope than this!”

Legend has it that while hunting one day, Marcus Leupold missed a buck because his scope fogged up. He swore he could make a better scope, and that’s just what he did.

Who are we to argue with a legend?

1947

Birth of a Plainsman

After years of research—and lessons learned from World War II—we introduce our first riflescope. We call it the Plainsman, and it’s the first truly fog-proof scope built by Americans.

A new era in sporting optics begins.

Free & Clear

What was the secret to our first fog-free scope?

We evacuated the air out of the scope’s interior and filled it with pure nitrogen, which doesn’t react to sudden changes in temperature.

That’s how Marcus Leupold kept his word, and we’ve kept it ever since.

This surprises no one.
