Leupold!!!
« on: August 22, 2012, 05:27:57 PM »
Have to give a shout out to what I have always heard was unbeatable but never used.  I have had Leupold binos and scopes for a while now and always purchased them because I had heard how good their warranties were, and they are a great optics company.  This past Sunday I was doing some scouting and realized my binos retractable eye relief had a crack in it and was not allowing me to bring it out or in without coming off.  Being as hunting is here in two weeks I called them on Monday and he stated to send them in and they would take a look at what they could do.  I was concerned with hunting season approaching and the thought of being without so I  said "How about I come over to you guys in Beaverton and you can look at them then and let me know the best action to take.  Long story short he recommended I leave them with them and he could put a rush on it and if they couldn't fix he would send me out a new pair.  I agreed and was on my way.  I get home from work today (Two Days Later, less than 48 hours) and they had shipped me a brand new pair of the newer version.  Thats outstanding customer service, hands down I will keep with Leupold optics.  Just wanted to share my story and say thank you to Leupold.

I did basically the same about 20 years ago with a scope during deer season.  I fell on it and broke it.... except I walked out with a new scope and was back to hunting the next day...  I have to say one thing you do get with those expensive damn scopes is service.

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

did the same thing with some binos a couple years ago.  I had scratched the lenses really bad and took them to the factory just to get them repaired.  They said they'd take a look at them and let me know.  Three days later a package shows up in the mail, viola, a brand new pair of binos.  Great company and great service.  I have 8 or 9 Leupy scopes, a rangefinder, two pairs of binos and gold ring HD spotter.  I figure if they are gonna give me that good of service as a customer, then I'm going to do ALL of my optics business with them.....Keep it in the USA!

My wife and I both use leupold binos, I don't know if we are hard on them or what but just about every hunting season right at the end of late archery at least one of the pairs if not both have the eye relief sorta break and no longer go in or out.  We just send them in and get brand new pairs within a week or so.  I think we've probably gotten 6 or 7 pairs by now for free.
