Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Leupold Livestream Details

Is there a recording of this anywhere?

If there is, I'm sure Leupold would pay a lot of what Bob Guccione would call "Good American Dollars" to have it destroyed.

Shortly after it went down, there were links to it posted on several threads and other forums, IIRC. It was one of the more stupifying spectacles I've seen on the interwebs. I'm not sure those dudes were really qualified to answer some of the more technical questions, and their overall tone made me feel like Leupold was patronizing their customer base.

I’m a member of another forum, primarily eastern US bird hunters. They had a Leupold thread the other day. To 95% of those guys scopes begin and end with Leupold, they’re great. Their customer service is top notch , etc etc etc. the original poster then reported back 3 weeks later that the custom shop refused to change his parallax yardage. Pissed in their cheerios.

I’m not a Leupold basher, most of my scopes are Leupold, but I recognize they aren’t what they used to be.

That was my takeaway as well.

Though the company recently went above-and-beyond for my father on a warranty claim.

I’m not a Leupold basher, I like the styling of their traditional scopes and so want them to work, and they do for set it and forget it big game hunting.
But I got tired of the sight in dance when you adjusted a scope two clicks and it jumps 6”. And then you use a couple other brands of scopes that adjust as advertised and you realize you don’t have to put up with poor performance.

Exactly and they don’t have to cost a small fortune. Burris is head and shoulders above as well as Meopta when it comes to internals and sighting it in at the range.

Credit where credit is due: Their CS has always been fantastic.

Leupold's custom shop closed down 2-3 years ago. They only repair scopes now, they no longer change reticles, parallax, etc. Pizzes me off royaly.......

There's only like 0.00001% failures, mostly we see novices that don't know how to use our wiz-bang scopes, they're made of both diamonds and golden rings after all....

Leupold Guy

I just re-read this train wreck. Hilarious.

Is Johnny paid to lie for Leupold or can he just not help himself?

This thread deserves a bump and a summary.

Leupold sent their factory tour guide and another flunkee to run the livestream.

They came in with the mindset that our forum members are a bunch of bumpkins.

Leupold told us that their schidt don't stink.

Leupold told us that we need to bang on our turrets to get the adjustments to take.

Leupold told us that by the 3rd time a scope comes back to them for repairs, they'll take it seriously and probably get it right.

Leupold has no idea what the torque spec is for their rings.

Leupold says that most issues are not issues at all, it's that their customers are retards.

I'd pay good money to hear the conversation those two goddam dorks had with management after their circus.
