scope is fogging up

[littlebuf]

and I'm a little more than pissed. its a Nikon buck master and its less then a year old. fogging on the inside, what really gets me is Ive told other people how great this scope is. any experience with Nikon's customer service?

That's why you should only buy Leupold.

I have two sets of Nikon binos and both are broke...Im done with em...I havent dealt with costumer's service yet but hope its not painful!   Good luck with urs!!!

Lol cause Leupolds are perfect and never have any issues  



I've had 5 different Nikon Monarchs and have had zero problems.

Mine never have but if they do it's really easy to send them to Leupold in Oregon, turnaround time is often only 1 week. It will be interesting to hear how Nikon backs up their optics.

I'm a Leupold fan.. Don't get me wrong.  I've got a couple Leupie scopes. But the boys have abused the Nikon Buckmaster scopes on their rifles and they've held up very well for the past four years. I've not abused them, but my Nikon binocs have done well too. Leupolds break too. Great customer services. I hope Nikon treats you just as well.

Leupold is the best in the business at replacing failed optics....they get the most practice.
Let us know how Nikon does...I have their higher end scopes and 'nocs and haven't found out yet.

I've heard that the CS at Nikon is lacking to say the least. Don't know for sure but have heard that. FWIW I own 2 or 3 nikon scopes and havent had problems other than the fact that they seem to take an unusual ammount of shots to get them sighted in. Just me?

every leupold product i have owned has fogged up. i switched to nikon and everything has been perfect.

i sold my nikon scope to a buddie, and the very first time out the scope fogged up really bad. he sent it back to them and seems he over tightened the mounts, and warped the tube which caused a poor seal on the rear eye peice whiched caused the fogging.

had the same think happen to a cheap scope a few years back.

Huh?  Something's wrong here. You must be talking about fogging up on the outside as ANY scope on the market will unless treated.

i only have burris & leopuld scopes and no problems with them

Hope they stand behind it Buff.  If not, give Leupold a chance.  Even my low end Wind River binocs are superbly water/fogproof.  Believe it or not, the suckers even float I found out by accident.
