Silly me, I figured the way they say it on their own tv commercials (lou-poled) was correct. I've been corrected many times and most people pronounce it (leo-pulled). what's the correct way?

I've been wrong several times. Sometimes I am corrected, sometimes not.

Leo-pulled?
Ask whoever corrected you to please show you the O in the "leo" part of "leo-pulled".
'Cause funny, but I don't see it. Just looks like a U, to me. Leu-pold. Lou-polled.
'Course, them are probably the same people that insist it is a "Sake-oh", a "Smith and Weston" or a "Heckler and Cock".

I know that the correct pronunciation is "loo-pold",but if I said anything but "lee-uh-pold" around here,I'd get laughed at and picked on. After all,we is a bunch of rednecks,right?

I ain't had any trouble communicating what I'm looking for, nor do I recall anyone having issues asking me about the Leupold brand.
As long as we keep asking for them, I doubt anyone at Leupold & Stevens really cares how we pronounce it.

From a fellow Texan that actually wrote the company and asked them, it is pronounced LOO-POLD.

That word is pronounced "lee-uh-polled" in the Bugs Bunny cartoons, and going against a Bugs Bunny cartoon is just plain un-American.

Well, is it like King Leopold of Belgium?
I think I've got the pronunciation for Leupold down...........it's "Sako" rifles and "Coues" deer that throws me for a loop (uh, as in leupold).

Like the hunting show star Bill JORDAN pronounced JERDAN. I guess he drives a FERD pick up. Or the Midwestern girls Named KAREN that get confused with the Japanese beer KIRIN.
