Leupold & Stevens, Inc., is an American, family-owned, fifth-generation company that has been designing, machining, and assembling precision optical instruments and other products for 100 years. Founded in 1907, Leupold’s® success has been built on commitment to customers’ absolute satisfaction, and to building the best optics for the shooting sports, general and wildlife observation, and the military and law enforcement communities. The company was started by Fred Leupold when he set up a one-man shop at 5th and Oak streets in Portland, to repair surveying equipment. From humble immigrant beginnings, Leupold® grows, based on a promise of quality, to become a classic American company. During Leupold’s second half-century, the company focuses heavily on the sports optics business. The GX-I, which is Leupold's "Tournament Legal" site distance measurement device, is easy to use right out of the box. Leupold also have a GX-II available which takes slope and wind into calculation, while providing a club selection recommendation. The GX-II, however, is not tournament legal.
