Your manager friend is mistaken and it is unfortunate he's pushing out this kind of misinformation. 
Maybe he read it somewhere, like Hunt WA. ;)

Maybe his buddy just had a visit by the Vortex rep, and still had the red upper lip stain from drinking the Koolaid...  :chuckle:

To be fair and prove I don't have a Leupold tattoo or anything, I just bought a pair of the Vortex Diamondback 10x42 when they were on sale for $129.  Awesome glass for that kind of money.

I’ve owned and used sport optics from many companies: Leupold, Vortex, Bushnell, Bausch & Lomb, Zeiss, Leica, Swarovski, Nikon, Fujinon, and some others I’ve probably forgotten about.

It would be impossible for me to rate any of them higher than Leupold for customer service.

On the other hand, I’ve not needed customer service on nearly all the others.

My only experience with Leupold customer service came from my dropping Grandpa's rifle on the rocks, breaking the seal and letting the scope fog up.  Not Leupold's fault - but they replaced his well used, 27 year-old scope with a brand-new model @ no charge.  Postage paid.

I've owned several since then, no problems.

Best of all Leupold scopes are made in USA not over seas.

People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

They actually used to do final assy on Leica binoculars in Beaverton.  I have one 9x25A that is Leupold branded and had another 7x20A that was Leica branded and they were identical except for power.  Both powers were available as Leica or Leupold and armored and unarmored, and those in the know would seek out the Leupolds because they were less money.  I got mine as part of a SPIFF program when I sold sporting goods.  They used to have the 7x30, 9x35 and 10x40 I.F. Poros made in Japan.  I still have a pair of 10x40s these are great binoculars. 

The Leupolds were their Gold Rings at the time
