scope is fogging up

[littlebuf]

took it out today and no fog problems, so I'm not sure at what temperature it fogs up but regardless it going back, just waiting till after Christmas to see if i got the new scope i was asking for

I don't believe that anyone can honestly fault Leupold's service. They well even back their gold ring products if you buy them used. I have eleven Leupold scopes, some are 25 years old. None of them have ever had a problem. I do have other brand scopes but if I am going to hunt with it, it will have a gold ring on it.

leuy's service is fast, ask me I have used it 5 times. the longest turn times was about 15 days. every time it comes with a sorry letter and a list of what was fixed and current colomation setting.

the last time I simply broke one of the dials on one of my LPS scopes. I did not even have to send that one in, they mailed me two turrets.

is the CS good....yup. are leupold scopes the greatest in the world......not by a long shot in my book. I like that they are made close to home and priced fair, but I would never pull a zeiss or 4200 to put one on my guns....although I still have a few.

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

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

yup, 2 scopes and a pair of binos. the first scope was new vxII and the second one was a used scope but in good condition at least i thought. my friends dad bought both from me and sent them to leupold for a quick fast fix. the used scope had been dropped by the previous owner i guess. and the new scope never got a reason for being fogged up. it had only been used a couple times

the binos were brandnew and fogged up halfway through the season, and leupold said they were just defective and could not find any reason for them to be fogged up. so they gave me the choice of a new pair or credit towards another product

leupolds service is top notch, ive dealt with them 3 times and everything was very easy and fast service.

but after 3 issues in a couple season i made the switch to nikon. and havent had an issue. i just hope that if i do need service that they are as good as leupold.

Don't write off Nikon customer service yet.  I sent in a pair of compact Nikon binocs for repair/replacement about 4 years ago after I started getting a double vision effect and they sent me a replacement.  I had owned them for several years at the time.  They told me I must have dropped them at some point (I don't think I did) which caused the problem.  I think I paid about $20 for shipping/handling.

Let us know the outcome of your scope situation.

talked to Nikon today and will be sending my scope in after i get my tax return and by another nikon scope for my AR. i have no concerns with them taking care of the problem.

My rifle has a Leupold mark 4 on top of it and my binocs are Nikon monarchs.Both have been hunted hard in the rain with no problems.
