Not if you're lucky.

Leupold's service is top notch. They;ve gone above and beyond for me twice, both of which were my fault for breaking it or losing pieces.

I use Leopold because I need my optics to work when I'm out on a hunting trip.  Vortex super warranty does me no good with broken glass on a hunting trip.

That's the same reason I don't use Leupold.
I own lots of Nikon high-end glass and know nothing about their customer service.
I've heard it's good.

 I had to send in one which I broke from a fall  and I had it back in about 2 1/2 weeks good as new no has hassle or questions

My sister bought a Nikon Monarch 6.5-20x50 and IMO its a pile of crap! My dad also has a pair of Monarch binos and my cheap Vortex Diamond backs are every bit as good. As for the wait on Vortex, my brother had a minor issue with his binos and took them back to sportsmans and they just traded him out a set.

Why did you guys turn this into a bash thread? Does it make you feel better about "your" brand? This thread started out very positive and now it's just a pissing match. Nice work.

It's funny how quickly it happened too.  They are both awesome companies, Vortex and Leopold (Nikon too if that's what you're into)

Vortex isn't a cult...it's a stellar company.  So is Leupold.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

In my experience, and it is considerable, I used to manage the largest volume retail hunting/shooting sports counter in the south Puget Sound:  Leupold, Vortex & Swarovski cannot be beat, most others are pretty darn good and a few are just not in the same league.  Leupold has been the gold standard for the longest though.  As for those who are not in the same class, we really don't need to concern ourselves with them - they are not really something anyone who is serious would consider owning in the first place.
