My wife just bought me a Leupold 15 X45 X60 spotting scope. It just says Leupold Green Ring Spotting Scope in the book so I don't know if it is the same as the Sequoia. I haven't taken it to the range yet but have played with it on the patio. My neighbor Has a white metal fence about 225 yards from me and I can see the white screws in the tin clearly. It is sharp to the edge of the lens too. It is made in Korea, not China. That helps feeling the way I do about Chinese made products.
