One M8 4X Leupold.......about 4000 rounds through 300,338 and 35 caliber magnums.


Long "Honeymoon" for the Swaro and Zeiss at 80 rounds.

with the Leupold 50 is definitely "Honeymoon", but 500 is something more.
Given that you have experience with several Leupolds, presumably of various models, it is probably just the nature of these sorts of failures. Good that they offer such a fine warranty.

Interesting thread, most manufacturers probably wouldn't want to share their CS warranty statistics unless they reflect positively on their brand.
