When a company that’s been around for more than 100 years sets a new production record, it’s worth acknowledging. Such is the case for 2018 and optics manufacturer Leupold.

According to Leupold President and CEO Bruce Pettet, new-for-2018 launches such as the Mark 5HD and VX-Freedom line were adopted immediately by consumers throughout the marketplace. In addition, the company’s top-tier Gold Ring riflescopes, the VX-5HD and VX-6HD, were in heavy demand, as were the VX-3i and VX-3i LRP lines.

“Our riflescopes are — and always have been — the most rugged and reliable optics in the industry,” said Pettet. “Our core consumers continue to demand more every year, and our entire team responded with a relentless effort. Every Leupold riflescope comes straight from our Beaverton factory, and I’m proud to say that more than 700 hardworking Americans came together to help make 2018 the single most productive year the company has ever had. I want to sincerely thank our retail partners, distributors —both domestic and international — and our loyal Leupold consumers for their support.”

Pettet promises that its commitment to American workers will continue. “We’ve built our riflescopes in Oregon since the very beginning, and that’s not going to change,” he said. “Every Leupold product that’s meant to be mounted on a firearm is designed, machined and assembled right here in the United States — and there’s no other major optics manufacturer in the industry that can say the same.”
