But, got a 6x36 with LRD’s last summer for my lightweight “mountain rifle.”

This doesn’t have anything to do with “Elmers” or “Flat Brimmers” or “diallers” or “Camo PJs”.....

It has everything to do with a company, Leupold, who ALL of us would like to see continue to be successful.

Unfortunately, rather than listen to this small segment of their customers.... they chose to tell us all that their schitt don’t stink.... when there is clearly a consensus, even among the set-and-forget crowd, that the adjustments are not nearly as precise as they should be.

They blamed us, the consumer for: improper focus of the scope, for our rings, for our bases, for our rifles.... then they stated they “don’t care about 100 yard discrepancies... only long range”. Deny, Deflect, Duck, Dodge.... anything but the truth.

They stated that only .0004% of their scopes actually ever needed any type of repair... ever. That seems an astronomically low number based on my experience.... and the experience related by many trusted folks involved in these threads.

They stated that “usually by the third time a scope is sent back for repair, it is repaired correctly”. Seriously.... the THIRD TIME?

They stated that turn around times on repairs was 1 week.... then just days later, when one of us actually needed a scope repaired.... it was at 4 weeks....

Fruddy busted this whole presentation with one scope... showing that it wouldn’t hold zero, and attempting to send it in for the 1-week turnaround.

I’ve got no hate for Leupold.... I still use a couple of their older Mark II/AR scopes... but I hate being lied to, and told I don’t know what I’m talking about, by a corporate dog and pony show.

I have had around 20 Leupold scopes sent back to Leupold to have the erector system replaced. I had Alan Ranson ( Head Of Leupold Technical Services) on speed dial. I had a couple of scopes sent in, and they said there was no issues found. I sold those scopes. I sent one scope off to Leupold 3 times to be fixed. The 3rd time they go it right. I talked to a tech and he said he would have throw the scope in the garbage. 1 month later I sent another scope in and they replaced the scope. I sent 2 Leupolds in last year and guess what, they replaced, the erector system on them. 2 percent failure ??????? I also to talked to the vice president of Leupold expressing my concerns. Alan said the tech that repairs your scope does matter. He gave me the name of a tech that he wanted my scopes to go too. It was a woman that repaired them after that, and I did not have to send the scope in several times to get fixed. And Alan would have them mount my scopes on their 300 Win Mag and shoot it and they would send me the target, with the scope.

I still think the possibility exists they may have been saying, "Screw you and the horse you rode in on."

That doesn't inspire confidence. It almost sounds like they have trouble finding competent help in the tech dept and tolerate subpar workmanship.

Apparently, it takes more than “Lifestyle” ambassadorship to manufacture and service quality telescopic rifle sights.

Because as a habit whenever I'm shopping online for something I always type in the product and "sucks" or "crap" or "problems"

To see what other complaints are associated with that product.

Have you ever been to Oregon? probably 90% of the possible employee's cannot pass a drug test.... those two in the video are the cream of the crop
