Leupold vs vortex
h2ofowlr:
Leupold plant is located in Beaverton, OR. I have toured the facility and they have a very nice setup at that location. You would be supporting a USA facility. I have purchased close to 25 of the scopes over the years and have always had good results with them. The only non-leupold that I have is a Zeiss Z-800 on my .257 Weatherby.
JWBINX:
Leupold set the standard for warranty and customer service over 40 years ago.
All others have just followed suit.

another vote for leupold. I bought one vortex scope and got rid of it. I wont use a bortex rifle scope ever again. I fell like when you buy a 1500 dollar scope you are just buying 3 500 dollar scopes that you recieve over time. You will get at least 3 new scopes with returns. you just paid for all 3 upfront 😂. I think you were asking about binos and I have a good pair of vortex binos that were well priced and have workef very well for years. They are more of a back up and not my main binos. So maybe the binos are better. Leupold has always had a great warranty but I like that in 40 years I have never had to use it. Some people llike vortex scopes but my experience was not good on the rifle scopes. I pretty mich just avoid anything vortex.

Not all Leupolds are made in the USA now....sadly!

Which ones are not? Per the company they are all still USA made either in Oregon, or Colorado. Some components are out of Japan but all the assembly is USA only. On a side note, the amount of fake Leupolds out of China is increasing. Half the time I look at EBay, I find counterfeit leupold scopes there. I've bought a few for only 50 bucks, then use Paypal to demand my real scope, not this plastic counterfeit crap they sold me. So far, I've been successful in shutting down a lot of EBay counterfeit crap.
