Leupold introduces the Golden Ring 15-30x50mm Compact Spotting Scope, designed for bird watchers and other wildlife observers who want powerful and portable optics to use in the field. At just 21.5 ounces and 11 inches long, but with variable power and high magnification, this spotting scope fills a niche between small, compact, and full-size spotting scopes. It provides more power than a binocular can deliver, yet it can be easily slung over the shoulder or carried in a belt pack.
This compact spotting scope is powerful yet lightweight enough to take with you just about anywhere. It is designed for easy handling while providing the outstanding optics that can give bird watchers an advantage in the field. Full lifetime guarantee.
From humble immigrant beginnings, Leupold grew, 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, Ore., to repair surveying equipment. He was joined by his brother-in-law, Adam Voelpel, and later by inventor John Cyprian Stevens, and the foundations for a century of success were in place.
During Leupold's second half-century, the company has focused 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 - are Leupold creations.
