Good grief. Pappy348 was being kind enough to provide some useful info and remind anyone wanting to send a Leupy in before hunting season that they need to hurry up. And, as often happens on the fire, one gets bashed for a good deed. Pitiful...

It's been a while since I first posted this. Might better get crackin' instead.

Well, I got on the stick and today my little FXII 2.5 came home. 19 days, door to door. Pretty dang good. Fixed, not replaced.

Careful there Pappy, your fellow Leupy owners are a sensitive bunch.

Too old to worry about "careful" except maybe climbing stairs or pouring liquor. Climbing stairs after pouring liquor gets a double portion.

No doubt someone will decide "pretty dang good" is some kind of coded criticism.

I got the 5 week email as well. It’s for a vari-x-III AO. Does anyone know what they do when a comparable model is no longer made (assumes they elect not to repair)? I tried to adjust poi to reflect a new load (Weatherby no longer sells 210g partitions for the 340wby) and it lost its ability to hold zero). I’m not real critical, this scope has withstood recoil for 25+ years and probably 400 rounds.

Never pour liquor while you're climbing the stairs.

I sent in a 2-7 Ultimate Slam the first week of August and got the same email about a week after I sent if off. 5 Days later I got it back repaired.

Part of the Corporate Mantra where I used to work was "Exceed Customer Expectations". Maybe they bought the same program. And maybe all the complaints have started to sink in, and they've decided to do something about it, quietly.

I wonder if COVID BS where Leupold is, isn’t to blame for the custom shop and now this?.......on top of whatever else is the flavor of the month for Leupold problems.

Looks like in my case and the one just above, they beat their estimated turnaround time by a good bit. Closing the Custom Shop, or suspending its operation for a bit seems like a simple business decision, perhaps to focus resources elsewhere. Don't know of any other optics company that offers that service; maybe there's a good reason.
