As a life long Leupold fan this is pretty disappointing.

Rick and Doug,
I think we'd all appreciate hearing your thoughts on how that went.
Thanks,
Higgins Again. I was disappointed in it to be perfectly honest. I think that it seemed canned and no "live". By this i mean it was not the interacting with the members and directly responding with the comments being made. I was unaware of how this type of thing worked but obviously withing a few minutes I got the jest and thought they would react/respond in time to the posted questions. I will be speaking with Leupold about my thoughts on how this was done and how i had expected it would be and how I do not feel it filled expectations

This is why most all my optic purchases are from CL. Rick and Doug,

Doug,
Seriously, why bother?
Leupold has been well informed over the years from numerous well established and respected individuals, companies, specialized shooting schools, and organizations about their products short comings. Empirical evidence and demonstrations provided.... all to deaf ears. Leupold obviously doesn't see a problem, and will not be making any changes.
Best to spend the time, energy, and resources elsewhere.

Thanks for putting this together, Doug. I'll certainly be ordering more stuff from you in the future, though that stuff will not have a Leupold badge on the box.

Well maybe the non English speaking knock off Leupold makers will get the gloss black paint code used in the 90’s and start turning them out soon.

Hilarious!!! You are chitting? Nope. I believe he is not currently the tour guide but used to be. In his 13 years , he has done marketing and service if you watch it . The other guy has three years with Leupold and runs the service dept. They said 2 out of every 1000 (0.2%) scopes they MANUFACTURE returns for warranty work. Then only two percent that they look at in the service department are actually defective. That sounds extremely low.

Best to spend the time, energy, and resources elsewhere. Agree. Beating a dead horse. I've long been gone. Went from 100% Leupold scopes 20 years ago to zero today. Following for entertainment purposes.

And for each shiny widget sold, you sell 250 of the matte-finish version. 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. I’ve got a gloss black VX-II 3-9x40 with. CDS turret that I’ll pull off my 35 Whelen and sell you for $200 today. Happy Trails

Many of my hunting buddies have Leupold scopes and a couple of the ill informed noobs have older VX-1’s with friction stops and actually think they have great scopes. One of them wanted to buy my old Mark V and was flabbergasted when I told him $1,500! When he stopped sputtering, I told him the rifle is free and the price is just for the Kahles scope. LOL! The cracker then suggested I keep the scope and give him the rifle..... dumbfuque. He’s still toting a cheap Win Tupperware XPR rifle.
