Any truth to the current rumor re: Leupold-- they are going into Chapter 11? RWTF

So where did current rumor come from ? Consider the source.

I read Leopold stevens? Is getting out of the scope business Nikon stopped in 2020 mabey a trend.i didn't look for any follow up reports so don't know for sure if it's true

If I may answer your question with a quote from Carol King's "-Tapestry album "A wife of a close friend- A lady whom I trusted , now a widow RWTF

What???

Perhaps the problem is that people are clamping 2 0unce bottles of Timberluxe in scope rings, and finding that works better than any scope ever made. Why, with all of the magical properties ascribed to it, I'd bet you could even see into the future!

But despite the rumors, Leopold Stevens has not filed for Bankruptcy protection, and has not announced any financial difficulties. They did sell the Redfield line to Academy Sports in April of 2021, and they seem to be placing more emphasis on tactical scopes rather than the more traditional hunting scopes. There is also a bit of griping about the unavailability of scopes in gloss black configurations.

This is another question that could have been easily answered with a quick internet search. They are still very much alive. Here's a link to their 2022 Catalog:

Yep== so much in the idea of believing what a lady says in regarding to the shooting game-- I just bought a new Leupold VX-Freedom scope from a local dealer AR-3-9x40 TMR (and for $100 less than the Bass-Ass-Wards-Blow Cabela's in GR had them listed $175 with tax and bore sighted on my M70 .220Swift-- wish I could get factory ammo for this "dinger" at that type of cost avantage. The gent I dealt with was just speaking with the Leupold Rep on Monday of this week-- and his chat confirmed just what you said/wrote/e-messaged here. Mine has the dulled black finish-- "No rattle-No shine"" RWTF

What, pray tell is "Timberluxe"? and why in 2 ounce bottles?? RWTF

I did an internet search and there is talk of Leopold Stevens getting out of the scope business just reporting what I read and you have joined edd good as an,idiot

"Glad you cleared that "idiot" business up--RWTF

Link to the "talk" ?

Say "What"--what is the "talk" pray tell?? RWTF

I think somebody is talking out their ass.

I just purchased a Leupold Alaskan for a pre-war Model 70.
Anyone got any extra 7/8 inch rings for a G&H side mount???? Thanks-
