Not all Leupolds are made in the USA now....sadly!
JWBINX:
Leupold builds all their scopes in the USA.
Their spotters and binos are built overseas.

That said, I run Vortex. I am rough on my gear, quality glass is expensive, and vortex replaces or repairs everything no questions asked.

I have a buddy that runs a long range shooting school. This is exactly what he says. :yeah: "best warranty in the business... because you're gonna need it...." :twocents:

Leupold warranty is nothing to scoff at. Only stuff I've ever sent back was due to wear on my part and they've fixed or replaced anything I've ever sent.
I just sent back my gold ring spotter because of a mark on the glass. They took care of the class and replaced anything that looked worn at all. Spotter came back looking brand new for free.

Havent bothered to chase it all down in several years but last time I did, Leupold scopes were imported parts assembled in the usa. The best glass in the world comes from other countries and if you research you will find the highest-grade optical sand comes from only a few locations in the world. Manufacturers spec out their lenses to be ground by specialty companies mostly overseas and then import them if they intend to assemble here. And then theres those companies who just opt to have the whole nine yards done overseas to their own engineered specs.
May have changed some buy I doubt it as much as profit has become market focus more so than ever.
