When you're in the field, at the range, or on the battlefield, you need to be able to rely on your gear. Anyone can offer you a lifetime warranty, but guaranteeing performance takes serious dedication and craftsmanship. Our optics are tested under the harshest conditions, so you can use them under the harshest conditions, without fail.
Built for a lifetime of performance - if at any time your Leupold riflescope, mounts, red dot, binocular, or spotting scope doesn’t perform, we will repair or replace it for free - whether you're the original owner or not. You don’t need proof of ownership or a warranty card, and there’s no time limit. We do this because we believe in superior quality and craftsmanship, and we’re confident your Leupold won’t let you down.
IMPACT TESTED + VERIFIED - Each scope design has to survive 5,000 impacts on the Punisher, Leupold’s recoil simulation machine. The force of each impact is 3x the recoil of a .308 rifle. If the scope doesn’t perform in any way during the tests, we make adjustments to the design and test it again.
WATERPROOF + FOGPROOF - From torrential downpours to crossing rivers, you’ll never have to worry about a Leupold optic leaking or fogging up. Our proprietary gas blend and seals are tested to a 33-foot depth and a multitude of pressure changes.
EXTREME CLIMATE EXPOSURE - We make sure our optics perform at the highest level in the harshest conditions by ensuring they will survive from -40 degrees Fahrenheit all the way up to 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

3:1 ZOOM RATIO - A 3:1 zoom ratio is very common in many scope models. It gives you 3 times more magnification at high power than at low power (model magnification ranges are available in powers of 3x: 1.5-5, 2.5-8, 3-9, 3.5-10, etc.), so you can dial your power down for close encounters or all of the way up for long-range shots.
ELITE OPTICAL SYSTEM - Leupold’s Elite Optical System offers excellent dawn-to-dusk light transmission for a bright image when it matters most, elite-level glare reduction in harsh light, and the resolution and clarity that diehard hunters and shooters demand.
HIGH DEFINITION - High-definition, calcium-fluoride lenses ensure incredible clarity at all magnification levels.
CUSTOM DIAL SYSTEM - Leupold's Custom Dial System® (CDS®) gives you the ability to customize your turret (adjustment dial) to your exact ballistics and environmental conditions. Once your new custom dial is installed, simply range the target, turn the dial to that number, and aim dead on.
Every CDS model scope is eligible for one free custom dial. Enter the serial number of the scope and your ballistics at the Leupold - Australia Authorised Custom Shop to redeem your free dial.
SECOND FOCAL PLANE - In Second Focal Plane (rear focal plane) scopes, the reticle stays the same size while the target grows and shrinks when you adjust the magnification. These reticles are ideal for lowlight hunting situations and in scopes that don't utilize hash marks for range estimation.
ZERO LOCK DIAL - The ZeroLock® system eliminates accidental dial movement by locking it in place.
LOCKABLE EYEPIECE - A traditional eyepiece lock ring allows you to lock in a focus setting that is best for your eye.
SCRATCH RESISTANT LENSES - Hardened surface coatings are added to meet extreme military standards in scratch resistance and added lens protection.
REMOVEABLE THROW LEVER - The removable, low-profile throw lever makes changing magnifications quick and easy. It includes a thread protector plug to use when the lever is removed.
ERGONOMIC DESIGN - Our ergonomic design ensures our products are slim, lightweight, and fit well in your hands no matter what size they are.
LIGHTWEIGHT ALUMINIUM HOUSING - Aluminium offers excellent durability and ruggedness without adding unnecessary weight.
WATERPROOF, FOGPROOF, & SHOCKPROOF - Leupold pioneered modern waterproof and fogproof technology using advanced internal gasses and sealing methods that withstand extreme temperatures, elevation changes, and shocks, so the internals of the optics stay moisture free and crystal clear for life.
Designed, machined, and assembled in the USA and guaranteed for life.
