Thread: Leupold Scopes are NOT worth the money....IMO

Most of these firms are just holding companies. They could be marketing floggle-toggles just as easily. Better to deal with a scope company that actually backs up the product, particularly, because we live at the very end of the production line so we really need the back up service. That is why it is worth buying Leupold and paying a bit more.

Yeah Leupold's lifetime warranty and customer service is excellent sure.
However more and more scope companies are trying to match it. Look at Vortex for example. Leupold has an advantage with the build quality of their scopes compared to Vortex, however Vortex has the price advantage and both have great warranties.
