Friend of mine bought a Leuppold off E-Bay.It was a 6.5x20x40 old scope he wanted on his 22-250.He bought it for 250.00.When he got it - the scope would not keep a good seal.He sent it in to Leupold in one of my old boxes and they sent him a letter saying they could not correct the problem.He told them to send it back to him -and they did - a new scope - not his old one.Talk about floored !!! So I figured I would call them and see what they said about the Redfields - they said, send it to us.I did ,and told them that it was from the 70's -they said send it anyways -they sent it back to me cleaned up and good as new. NOW THATS SERVICE !! I dont care what scope company you believe in - you cant beat that !!
