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
