About Leupold & Stevens, Inc.
It's a decidedly American story: in 1907, a young German immigrant named Fred
Leupold set up a one-man shop at 5th and Oak Streets in Portland, Oregon, repairing
optics for surveying equipment. The small company survived the First World War and
the Great Depression. But it was the Second World War that would forever change
the company. Working with the U.S. Army on a riflescope and the Navy on optics for
use aboard ships, the engineers at Leupold learned the secrets of waterproofing and
durable construction that would completely change the world of sports optics.
Leupold & Stevens, Inc. is still family-owned, though the focus has turned from
land surveying to helping people across the globe survey their environments with
innovative, high-performance optics and accessories. Leupold optics are renowned
for their unchallenged ruggedness, and their vastly superior optical quality. A century
of observation and optical experience has gone into every product we produce, and
we think the results are well worth the extra effort required to achieve this level of
quality.
