I’m curious how many have been sold after being returned from a warranty repair... 🤔
I sold two of them that had each been returned a couple of times each. I did so with full disclosure, and have never bought another one, and never looked back.
The only way I buy them is if they are on a used rifle I purchase. The last couple older (vari-x IIC) ones sold on ebay for over $300.00. Bringing the amount I have into a stainless Ruger m77 mkII boat paddle down to $175.00. The same situation with the model 70 7mm-08 classic featherweight. Im glad there are guys out there that adore leupold rifle scopes. Its easy to make a few bucks on them. Also, to answer the ops question, there are a lot of guys that list them as, "just got it back from leupold with a clean bill of health". You do the math.
