I talked to a guy that worked there and he said that they were supposed to say Loo-pold, but most people say Lee-pold I think. I think we need Rick.

And the winnner is....... Glen!

LooPold, LewPold, not much difference, but that's the correct pronouncation according to Tom Frechtel, their president.

Anybody saying it 'Lee-u-pold' is just not a true afficionado.

Leupold is the name of the German inventer that traveled to America.

Leupold in english is "LOOP-HOLD" as has been determined (congrats Glen :party1:) , however in German is it more like "LOY-POLT".

I like to pronounce Leupold "One heck of a Scope" :D
