First off to clarify - I am not what could be called a Leupold fan boy although I think that they have a good product with great warranty.

Rather this is more a reality check - there seems to be a near constant Leupold bashing going on here so think about this. -

Leupold started selling rifle scopes in 1947 (73 years ago) so lets take the absurdly low number of scopes they sell each year as 10,000 which means that there are potentially 730,000 Leupold scopes floating around out there. Is it any wonder that there are reports of Leupold failures and slow repair times, which usually is about 3 weeks in most reports. Oh yes, unlike most other companys they do not charge a return shipping fee of $20 or so.

They may some ocassional issues but overall their failure/repair record is pretty darned impressive.
