Leupold scopes have as as long as I have been shooting scoped rifles been known as quality optics and still are. I have owned Leupold, Weaver, Nikon, and Vortex scopes. All were perfectly serviceable.
The only thing that irks me is that Leupold tried to deny using Jap glass. It is no disgrace to admit using the best glass you can get for the money. Leupold lost much credibility in its denial of using Nikkor glass in their scopes. I now wonder if any of their lower end scopes are even made in America. In my opinion there's not a dimes worth of difference between Nikon, Leupold, Vortex or Weaver optics.
