Personalization... You´re not asking for much, you just want things how you want them. Say a fire-engine red riflescope with blue splatters to match the laminate stock of your new custom silhouette rifle. Or, maybe you just like the look of a 24k Golden Ring® and Leupold medallion. In other words, you don´t have to buy just any Leupold riflescope… create your own unique Leupold, at the Leupold Custom Shop. Pick a new finish. Personalize a riflescope for yourself or as a gift with custom engraving. And keep a running tally of your modifications and cost the entire time. You can even save your creation, and come back later to make more changes. Every Leupold is next to perfect out of the box. Create the one that´s perfect for you at the Leupold Custom Shop.
