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

Part of it is also simplicity of choice. With Leupold you know what you're getting - reliable, solid, and reasonable quality at the cost of increased price. There's good brand recognition/trust, and their prevalence means you can get them used relatively easily.

There are certainly better scopes out there, but they aren't easily identified and require a lot of reading and searching to identify.
