The rifle scope is obviously a great invention, and like most inventions it was born out of necessity. Most great inventions evolve from someone finding a need for something and figuring out how to make it work. The evolution of the rifle scope began when people started attaching telescopes to rifles to maximize viewing capabilities. This idea was of course very primative and did not provide the desired effect. The first verifiable use of a telescopic sight on a pistol dates back to 1834,but attempts to create a workable rifle scope were unsuccessful until 1880 when August Fielder managed to build the first telescopic sight that really actually worked. This was the predecessor of all modern day rifle scopes. In 1907 a German immigrant named Fred Leupold set up a small shop in Portland Oregon repairing survey equipment. Several years later when he met inventor John Stevens, the marvelous company named Leupold and Stevens was born and still exists today. It was around 1930 after a failed hunting trip, that Leupold began making his first rifle scopes. The small company survived World War I and the great depression but it was  the Second World War that changed the company forever. Working with the US Army and Navy, the engineers at Leupold learned the secrets of waterproofing and durable construction that would change the world of optics forever.  The engineers learned that by introducing nitrogen gases within the scope that the optics would remain clear, waterproof and fogproof… for a lifetime.

Today Leupold and Stevens is a family owned American company with 100 years of experience. Their modern day state of the art facility  employs over 600 employees in Beaverton Oregon. The Leupold engineers design, machine, assemble and test all of their optics within this facility. Only the finest material known to man are used for production of their optics especially the lenses and they are of the highest grade quality that is demanded by Leupold engineers.  In addition to rifle scopes Leupold also offers a fine line of binoculars and spotting scopes as well.The products produced are made to last more than a lifetime and they are all backed by the famous Leupold Lifetime Warranty. They set all the standards that other optics manufacturers strive to achieve. Leupold optics are world renowned for their ruggedness, absolute waterproof integrity and their superior optical quality. Leupold offers a vast line of rifle scopes with both fixed and variable powers and many types of reticles. They have many different lines to chose from, sure to please any rifleman. The name Leupold is one of the most trusted, respected, and known names in the outdoor and hunting arenas worldwide.

Leupold has recently issued a counterfeit warning to its customers cautioning them to be on the lookout for counterfeit Leupold scopes that are illegally being imported from China. These fake reproductions bear many of the marks of the a genuine Leupold, making them very difficult to distinguish externally from authentic Leupold products. Recently many rifle scopes have begun to arrive at the Leupold headquarters for service. Obviously these products were not manufactured by Leupold and are not covered by the Leupold lifetime warranty. Leupold uses serial numbers on all of their optics so if one finds a suspect they can simply contact Leupold at 1-800-LEUPOLD to verify the authenticity.

To me I feel that a Leupold scope is the best scope for the money and I have many of them. I own 9 hunting rifles and they are ALL equipped with Leupolds. I personally thank Leupold for my grizzly bear  and dall sheep from Alaska, my mountain lion and elk from Arizona, my black bear and mule deer from Colorado, and the 13 trophy whitetail deer from right here in Pennsylvania. Through many conditions, from rain and snow, to blizzards and fog, to tripping down mountains, and banging around on horseback, my Leupolds have NEVER let me down under any circumstances.  Thanks again Leupold for a lifetime of memories!

I’d like you to remember back to the last time you went looking for a new rifle scope. Was it an enjoyable experience? Did it take forever to make your decision, or were you able to walk right in a make the purchase? Or, maybe, I should just click the mouse and make the purchase as more and more rifle scope sales are made over the internet these days.

Trying to discover which rifle scope is best for you doesn’t have to be a trying ordeal. Spend some time defining the options available to you, and even more importantly your needs, this will give you a plan to follow.

We all have our preferences and foibles when it comes to making purchasing decisions, and making the choice of which new rifle scope to get is no different. Have you ever noticed that often it is the little things that snag us. Fortunately, when looking for a new scope we are going to be blinded by the color or whether it has a great set of wheels. After all, all scopes look pretty much alike.

That leaves us with trying to digest the many options that are available. And, not unlike an automobile, or any other item I guess, all kinds of claims are made. So, sorting them all out is our biggest challenge. With each claiming to be the best, how do you choose.

First, let me start out by saying that I don’t think that you can go wrong when you purchase a scope from any of the well-known and reputable brands. None of them is going to through a piece of junk out there, they wouldn’t want to damage their reputations. Be aware that, if you are looking for a quality piece of glass you are going to have to pay. It usually works that way.

It probably seems obvious to you, but I need to state that when contemplating the purchase of a new rifle scope you bear in mind the intended purpose. Simple, right? Not for everyone.

As an example. Many folks don’t know that there are scopes that are specially made for airguns. Seems odd to some, but there is a reason. Airguns actually have a lot of recoil in both directions and a scope for this application will take that into consideration.

Another aspect to consider while making your decision is the quality of construction. You going to want this to last a long time through possible inclement weather. Is it fog proof? Is it water proof? Can it take the rigors of being in the elements. Again, any quality scope can.

Which brings up a related topic. Make sure that the warranty gives you great coverage. These days it isn’t uncommon for manufactures to give lifetime warranties on their products. Check it out. With all of the competition for your rifle scope dollar, there is no need to take a back seat.

The bottom line here is to use a bit of common sense. You won’t get quality if you are worried about scrimping and penny pinching. Ultimately, the choice will be yours. And, rest assured that, as long as you are looking at scopes that fit the application and are from a reputable brand, you will probably be ecstatic with you new purchase and your new found accuracy.

One final added word here in conclusion. You are making a sizable purchase of a quality, precision optical device that you want to last for years to come. My last piece of advice has to do with the mount. Make sure that the mounting system you use is as of as high a quality as the scope. You don’t want that failing and your new scope crashing and burning.

Attached is a night hog hunt by MSGT Pinkston from USAMU. The video is from one of his weapon mounted Thermal Imaging scopes. The scope is able to feed directly to the video camera. MSGT Pinkston is one of a few registered guide hunters authorized to hunt feral hogs with Thermal Imaging and Night vision year round in Georgia. Note one of the last hogs hit. The thermal picks up the blood spray at 100 yards. Not morbid, just a great scope.
