Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Leupold Livestream Details

Well it’s gonna be an odd call this afternoon as my VX -6 is tits up and apparently I’m not focusing it correctly. 🥴🤦🏻‍♂️

Hope Dane answers the phone he’ll walk me through the action screws ect.

Just off the phone repair turn around is 4 weeks.
🤥

What puked? They’ll take one that does work and compare it to the one that doesn’t and see what’s different?

Or just clean the glass and say it’s fine?

Right!

It doesn’t seem like the $64,000 question can ever be answered.

Arguments to authority (theirs) do not cut it. Dismissing problems by suggesting they are simply not there is not a valid argument, either...

Suggesting an erector problem cannot exist and then saying it could happen if the focus is off is another dismissive stance for a problem they deny, then explain.

Maybe one day someone besides Leupold will take one apart and see what’s what.....

I’d take apart a 200$ model as they are all the same.

That video chat was one of the most insulting displays of arrogance I’ve seen in a while.

“ We just bought millions of dollars worth of new equipment, because our old stuff was turning junk. Its simply you guys are not focusing properly, and we don’t care about 100yards it’s the long stuff we specialize in”. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

Jesus anymore bullshït they could be the house speaker.

Embarrassing and arrogant sums it right up...

The erector springs are too stiff and deforming the tubes.

And fingernails.

Had to be the flat brimmer...

Plus 10

Was E one of the representatives?

Maybe we're being too hard on Leupold? I think you should buy one.

I have a dozen Leupolds in my current inventory and have used their scopes for years for hunting and competition. I have had the occassional issues with them not tracking but for my hunting scopes I am a "set and forget" hunter. I shot Highpower and Smallbore Metallic Silhouette for many years and used 6.5-20 VX-3s mostly, as do most competitors in that discipline because they offer a good balance of weight, clarity and fairly reliable tracking, but after agonizing through the video I am less of a fan now than I was - they basically deny that they have any issues with their scopes and that we are all mistaken. While the great majority of hunters do not shoot enough or do not have equiptment precise enough to know when their scopes have issues there are a great many of us who do. When Chub Eastman was repping for them they knew they had tracking problems then - and that was back in the early 80's.

I was extremely put off by their statements concerning the "mushy" feel of the clicks when adjusting - WTF? Tasco sells $29.95 scopes that give better tactile feedback than the newer Leupolds. How can it be that the "clicks" are so mushy that you cannot even tell if you have moved 1,2, or 4 and that is supposed to be OK? I think not.

Sorry Leupold you need to do better than that

The Leupold response was predicted by many here. They all deserved the benefit of a doubt..... Leupold blew it... surprise.
Thanks Doug & Rick..... can't help those who wont help themselves.

Oh and I thought the fire was on it's best behavior and that's sumthin.....

I also like the we don’t out source parts “ except glass” ( which is fine with me) “ we make ever aluminum part in this scope in house ” not it just the tube 🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥
So who makes the [bleep] that matters is my question? Like the Gilded brass erectors. Leupold is fûcked.
Dane making eye roles and smart ass faces is as funny as his lie about 1 week turn over on repairs. I called today and was told 4 weeks. I told the tech to let his lying boss it’s “one week”. As He told me last night on the web cast.

🥴 two in a 1000 scopes come back for repair and I seem to get those two every time.
I had 2 MK4 in one order broken in the wrapper. They can look it up as I have the # for them.
I’ll never buy a Leupold product again.

PS in five weeks I will be selling a VX6 3-18x50 with tmoa if someone wants a deal. 😉

Lmfao!!!

The flat brimmed dude kept looking at his laptop and saying “Well it looks like we don’t have any more questions coming in”.

I was posting a question and could see a lot of members questions waiting in their queue to be answered... They never were.

Leupold chose to ignore questions and went with a pre-planed Botox treatment for looking good only to themselves.

Dane, the guy wearing a properly formed hat was pissed from the beginning. Obviously, he took offense to our forum call outs leading up to this.

Now that it’s over. Do we really need to give 2 schits one way or the other? If a guy likes his Leupold scopes that’s cool....If a guy wants to spend $250-$2k for a new one - that’s cool too.

If a guy decides he’s done buying Leupold or hasn’t bought one in years I’m good with it.

At least nobody can say they haven’t been warned.
