Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Will Leupold survive ?

They will either send it back to you or offer you a similar or similarly priced replacement. Your choice.

It’s too bad,that Reupold is sooooo fhuqking amazingly schitty anymore. Hint………

That’s pretty much standard practice for any company. Once parts are exhausted for a product line, that’s the end of repairs, unless you go to some aftermarket repair outfit using salvaged parts.

Does any member sell Leupolds? Maybe they can add some intel or arrange a virtual conference with Leupold staff?

Why would anyone from Leupold put themselves in a position to be questioned by end users who they seldom have direct contact with?

Big wholesalers and big retailers are their direct, important, customers, end users like you and me are inconsequential to them.

Big wholesalers and big retailers might get answers if they ask hard questions, but once the product is sold, their role in the process is over.

Agreed!

Ive never had an issue with one to this day

Betting odds they will be here when all of us are not.....

I don`t seem to have the Leupold problems others have had . They are going no where.

I just found out that if you have a scope they deem unrepairable you can upgrade by paying the difference in price. I just sent in a 4-12 VXII LR Duplex, they offered a Freedom 30MM 4-12 side parallax TMR, CDS

I didn't want the side focus or the Freedom or the TMR reticle and asked if I could pay the difference to upgrade, answer was sure you can.

I got a 30MM VX-3HD 3.5-10 CDS, Firedot for $100 on the way.

That sounds like a good deal.

I have a couple left, and I am happy with them. There is a lot of Chinese competition these days, making a pretty good product. Hoping they do not go out of business, be a sad day if they did.

Have had & used a few Leo products

Then along came the Bushnell 4200 Jap mfg'd scopes

Along with Vortex having the lifetime no questions asked warranty

Leo priced them selves outta the blue collar market

Yes. They do just fine servicing military contracts. Have several and no issues at all with the rifle scopes. Some work on a spotter that was out on Monday and back to me on Friday.

A good deal on a pile of crap, Lands the new owner a good feeling about having a pile of crap.

On a dummy like Burns the sunglasses don't even hold zero. Rumor is Leupold is getting parts from China for most models.

You are half right as I have never owned a Leupold before. Big tasco and bubble pack bushy fan myself.

Hey, you got a good deal that's for sure.

Leupold seems to still have a pretty large following. I've generally had good luck with Leupold scopes, but have only purchased one in the last 10 years or so. That scope , purchased 2 years ago, is a VX-6 1-6x24 with a Firedot reticle. I bought it primarily because I liked the reticle and its relatively light weight. it performed very well on a .375 H&H for my son and I in Mozambique.

Leupold scopes have traditionally had some strong points (light weight, good eyebox) and some weaknesses (tracking). They seem to be making heavier scopes these days, so I'm guessing they are making the internals more robust. If that's true then they are responding to the market, which now seems to be demanding more precise tracking and adjustments for long range and precision shooting.

‘Flave trolling along^…….

With the costs associated with having a repair shop I doubt its economically feasible to repair any scope that costs them less than a certain amount to produce. They know what that number is.

Better for them to just send you a new model with or with a credit to upgrade. It may not make 100% of their customers happy but the largest percentage of them are going to be happy with getting a new model as a replacement or a cheap upgrade.

I would guess that custom shop started to cost them too much to make any benefit they got from it to warrant keeping it going.
