A line of scopes designed for the European sporting shooter

EUROPEAN-30 SCOPES ARE NOT SOLD IN THE U.S.A. These products are manufactured for distribution to our international dealers and are not available to Leupold Dealers located in the United States. European-30 scopes are available for sale outside of the U.S.A.

The Leupold� European-30 was designed with the advice of many of our European friends, both customers and representatives, who gave us considerable information on the design and function of the ideal scope for the European sporting shooter. We were told:

�Make it with a 30mm maintube. The 30mm maintube has long been the standard size in European scopes.�

�Mid-range magnification. After all, we don�t have the wide open spaces like your Wyoming or Montana in Europe.�

�Hunting into the evening is very popular here, so make the eyepiece easy to adjust and make sure it offers good light transmission.�

�Make the adjustments metric; we don�t ordinarily think in yards and inches here.�

From there, we were off to the drawing board.

The result? Nothing less than you would expect from any scope bearing the name Leupold. Five models, from a fast action 1.25-4x20mm model to a longer distance capable 4-12x40mm model, as well as a perennial favorite, the 3-9x50mm. All with 30mm maintubes, all with multicoated ocular and objective lenses, all waterproof, and all 100% Leupold.

In addition, each magnification model is offered with a choice of two reticles, the original Leupold Duplex� and the classic German #4. The weight of each model has been kept as low as possible while not compromising quality. We also added a fast focus eyepiece to each model and finished them all in a durable, attractive matte finish.

Leupold has long prided itself on listening to our customers and responding to their expressed ideas. We think we have created the ideal scope for the European sporting shooter in the Leupold European-30.

You'll have to ask someone in Europe. Leupold's website has no more information on them besides what I posted.

I truly don't understand why Leupold doesn't make the Euro 30s available to any dealer in the USA that would sell them.
