RE: 3 Cheers for Leupold!!!!
dvdegeorge, I agree that Leupold's aren't Swarovski's. They are better and they are made in the USA. At one time the German made optics was superior. Today's German optics are still good, but with no improvement other than powers over the years many US manufactures are exceeding the standards first set by the European models. The introduction of American made 30mm tubes with quality lenses and coating has outdistanced the imports, plus service and warranty are far superior to the imports.
