I received my Leupold VX6HD a couple of days ago and open the thing up. Today, I realized that I lost the little scope lever switch. I emailed Leupold and load and behold an email from Leupold CS:
Sent one your way!
Best, Tommy
Free to my door, damn that is service! Never been a much of a Leupold person and have always been a Zeiss or Swarovski but will be now.

Yes they fit my VX-5HD but I don't know about the other Leupold models.

Oh, I also have had to use Leupold's CS one time, and wasn't because one of mine malfunctioned. Just needed 1 turret cap for a scope I bought used. I tried twice to get the guy to let me pay for it since I bought it used, but he wouldn't do it. And sent me 2 instead of 1. I would use their scopes anyway, but it was still nice to be treated like that. Signed, a Leupold fan!

Yea.....they suck but Leupold's all I own. I consider them as the working man's scope.
Mine are all old school hunting scopes but I do have one of those fancy CDS dials on my 222 Rock Chuck gun... grin

I have over 20 Leupolds, I haven’t had one fail. They get bashed a lot on here.

If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

First one to go back, broke, in 40 yrs. Older Vari X III 1.5-5x20 failed to hold zero. Adjustments went crazy. MOA rifle shooting two foot groups. They’ll probably replace it due to age. DF

My fourth rodeo with sending leupold scopes back due to internal fogging. Really can't complain, as they send me a new one, and I promptly put it up for sale, NIB. I was loyal to a fault, but I'm moving on.

Just a generic question: How many think it's possible the uneven pressure of mounts/over torque could cause some of the problems with sporadic adjustments/failure ?...meaning=lap your mounts.
