I just found out that if you have a scope they deem unrepairable you can upgrade by paying the difference in price. I just sent in a 4-12 VXII LR Duplex, they offered a Freedom 30MM 4-12 side parallax TMR, CDS
I didn't want the side focus or the Freedom or the TMR reticle and asked if I could pay the difference to upgrade, answer was sure you can.
I got a 30MM VX-3HD 3.5-10 CDS, Firedot for $100 on the way.
That sounds like a good deal.
A good deal on a pile of crap, Lands the new owner a good feeling about having a pile of crap.
On a dummy like Burns the sunglasses don't even hold zero. Rumor is Leupold is getting parts from China for most models.
