Leupold & Stevens is an American family-owned company that has been manufacturing riflescopes, red dot sights, spotting scopes, and binoculars for five generations. The product range also includes thermal imaging technology, riflescope mounts, and accessories such as shooting and sunglasses. Besides hunters, Leupold's products are especially popular among American security agencies like the Secret Service, the US Army, and the Navy Seals. The reason for this is the robust construction and the versatile applications of this well-proven optical equipment. In the German hunting optics market, Leupold is relatively uncommon despite its good quality.
