Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Leupold Responds with a Special 24HourCampfire Exclusive

Boomer,
$12.00 bucks an hour in Oregon is a high wage........ I suspect the real problem is all the employee's are stoned... it is Oregon after all...

This is what has happened to America. Assuming and people piling on whether it is scopes or tires. At the end of the discussion, I will bet Leupold continues to sell thousands of scopes to people that aren’t on the Campfire and will thank the Campfire for it’s input.

If Leupold sells that many scopes that don’t work, you would think it would show up unilaterally through consumers. I haven’t had the problems that the Campfire has with Leupold, but I have switched almost entirely to Swarovski, so I can’t ad to the educated discussion.

Whether or not there is any change will remain to be seen. I believe this squeaky wheel will get greased. My guess is grease isn’t what the Campfire is looking for...

Yep, the optics forum never disappoints...

The others need to catch up...

Sorry DF, couldn't help myself...... I am doin my best to get the other threads up to speed.... seem to be getting a little push back though...

When is the gloss freaking black option coming back as a standard feature without having to pay $250 extra????????? Seriously!!!!!!!!!!

Say you have your own business. And for each shiny widget sold, you sell 250 of the matte-finish version.
How long until you probably just say to hell with the shiny widgets?

I understand the widget theory, but for nearly 80 years Leupold sold a gloss version of their product(s) as a standard finish. For folks who have been loyal Leupold fanboys for a bunch of those years it's hard to swallow. I'm not asking for every scope on the line to have a no cost gloss option, but c'mon at least throw us a bone on a 2-7 or 3-9 in something.

That's not a bad idea.
But then there'd be grumbling because it's not offered in XX.

What if they found out that the matte finish was cheaper to produce.

How much of a premium would you be willing to pay for gloss...

I can see that. But what about that dang wide duplex? Is it really what people wanted?

I highly doubt Doug who is a major distributor of optics would have posted a thread on Leupold without certain criteria being met.

1. He would have had to talk with Leupold directly first and my guess is the conversation was about why his order for Leupold scopes was dwindling.

2. Doug and Leupold would have had to reach an agreement for Doug to approach campfire members because yes he is a major distributor and major distributors don't just start random threads discussing who there in business with



It's more than obvious Leupold is having a serious problem and if they don't get it sorted there future is at stake.
