Hunting Optics

I was a bit skeptical when it came to hunting scopes, but my friend Mark was insistent that I at least give it a shot.  He lent me his Leupold rifle scope for my hunting trip.  I told him that I would try it out.  Actually, when I said that, I meant it quite literally.  I would try it out once and then put it securely back in the casing. 

But I’m the first to admit when I am wrong.  That scope did wonders for my shot and after I gave Mark back his scope, I went out and got my own.  It is a miracle worker.

               It’s hard to get out hunting lately with all the commotion going on around the homestead, so when you do, make the shot count.  Those that have the time to get out regularly get more of a chance to become an expert shot.  For the rest of us, there are alternatives that are important in the development of hunting in the modern age.  Using a scope not only secures your target, but it also ensures that the animal in question dies as humanely as possible. 
Hitting a bull elk indirectly results in the animal escaping and bleeding to death in a long painful fight against infection and blood loss. Do the right thing and shoot to kill.  Using optics to help secure the target is an essential addition to hunting.

I was looking for the best price for Leupold optics and I found it at your website. I am also happy that my inquiries about shipping were given prompt attention. All in all, I like your good service.

I am a sportsman and I think that having the right equipment is essential for the enjoyment of any sport that you choose. That is why I was adamant in looking for this particular type of gadget. Luckily, it was available through your site and for a great price!

Rifle scopes have become far more sophisticated over the years, but the four most basic parts have remained the same. Working from front to back they are:

1. The objective lens (or front lens) is critical to a superior sight picture.
2. The internal erector lenses which right the image.
3. The reticle, often referred to as the crosshair, provides the aiming point.
4. The ocular lens (or eyepiece lens) works with the other lenses to magnify the image, provide correct eye relief, and make diopter corrections.

HOW SCOPES WORK

As light passes through and beyond the objective lens, the resulting upside down image is sent to the internal lenses. Known as erector lenses, these internal lenses return the image to a right-side-up position. Finally, the ocular lens makes a final enlargement of that image and sends it on to your eye. Your Leupold scope was designed, manufactured, and tested to ensure that, when properly mounted and sighted-in on your firearm, you will enjoy exceptional performance. A solid mount is critical to satisfactory performance of your scope.

100 Years of Leupold History

Vision from the beginning of time, that’s stood the test of time.

From humble immigrant beginnings, Leupold® grows, based on a promise of quality, to become a classic American company. In 1907, Fred Leupold set up a one-man shop at 5th and Oak streets in Portland, to repair surveying equipment. He’s joined by his brother-in-law, Adam Voelpel, and later by inventor John Cyprian Stevens, and the foundations for a century of success are in place.

During Leupold’s second half-century, the company focuses heavily on the sports optics business. Leupold’s presence in the hunting and shooting market expands, and finally dominates, with innovative optics and features that are now legendary among hunters, shooters, and outdoors enthusiasts. Many of the industry’s standards – nitrogen waterproofing, the Duplex® reticle, and more – were Leupold creations.
