Same scope was something he didn’t really want. Which can be corrected when the Custom Shop reopens. Wants them to do it now for him, because he is for some reason special.

Whines on Campfire Leupold has lousy customer service


Thus has been common practice for many because if Leupold's lifetime warranty wijout restrictions. It appears that Leupold can no longer afford to honor thevwarrenty that they expressed.




What part of Leupold's warranty are they not honoring? They are willing to fix the defect for free. Does the warranty cover shipping on a scope not originally purchased from them? Nor does the warranty cover changes you want to make on a product that is not broken and only because you want something different. In addition to wanting it done on your time schedule. Irregardless of the current situation in the repair division.

Last October a co-worker had a gloss Vari-Xii that looked like you were looking through a straw. About five weeks later he got it back completely rebuilt with a list of all the parts replaced. I find them to be a great company!



No not quite. Some also need their assss kissed to make it a great customer experience.

This has nothing to do with me being a know-it-all – frankly, I'm wrong more in a day than I am right. But I am a realist.
You were mad because you approached this like you do every other dang thing here; like a true tightss, thinking you'd get something for nothing – like it's somehow owed to you.
All one needs to do is watch your WTB ads in the classifieds for a quick study in the powdr modus operandi.


Well, that explains a lot...Since I’ve been reading along as this thread grew, I had a feeling the friction from rubbing a couple of nickels together was gonna cause a fire in someone’s britches....😎

You normally get it right Beav, however this time he clearly explained his good deed intentions. He was on a mission to save us all....

Well, put on your leisure suit, the naugahyde belt, and those white patent leather shoes, and go pay her a visit!

A silk shirt would be a nice touch too.

Salvation costs money...Unfortunately, for some, this is lost in the haze of saving a couple dimes. 😬😎

Paige giggled and jiggled on that one. However, you have lost it if you think I'm going to the expense of getting to Colorado to borrow your stuff. Thanks for the thought, however keep your clothing suggestions to yourself. My suggestion to you would be to spring for a new issue of GQ. Anyway Paige is more into KUIU solids. Most especially their Attack pants.

I just threw that out because you obviously need it. Paige and I usually shop for clothes together. I get soooo tired of giving my yes or no on all the Victoria Secret apparel.

However enough, let us not be accused of stepping on this enlightening thread.

I’ll check in to see if anything constructive is added by the OP. Until then I want to see if the fainting goats are up and about.

We can't have it both ways.


If they made a scope or were able to repair one so that it's mechanically sound and precise, nobody would whine about the price. It's not about where it's made, it's a problem with what they're making. Even worse, is the excuses they're making for VX series product. The VX series while optically superior to the Vari-X scopes, isn't anywhere nearly as mechanically sound. It's a rifle scope, it's gotta reliably steer the bullet 1st.

If indeed they phase out working on Vari-X series scopes, that will be a very sad day.

Skane, I'm retired and I watch my money closely cause I have a wife and son. Maybe when you retire you won't be able to afford those pen raised canned hunts. You're right about one thing...you are wrong about categorizing some person you've never met. You're just mad at people that won't bow down and kiss you're ring. Just like I said...a shallow man. People every day buy and sell things here to save money so start attacking them and kiss my ass. I tried to explain earlier what actually happened but a man like you just wants to belittle people. powdr

Not attacking Skane, but I offered to pay for having the turret removed. I figured the red dot would be fixed...no matter what. powdr
