Leupold VX-II failed seals

[deerhunter_98520]

Let me ask you guys this.....how many times do people tell you that there scope is still good?...hardly ever....you just hear about the broken ones and thats what sticks in your head...how many leupy scopes are out there that have never broke?...if they were that much of a problem leupold would not have a lifetime warranty on there products....they back there products 100%...and i back them buy using them..they wouldnt be in the buisness if they lost money replacing everyones scope...i dont know about you but my rifle is a tool...a tool i use and it gets beat up every year...i have had my scope on my gun for 15 years and as much abuse as i have put my rifle through i cant complain one bit about it....$300 for a scope ill use for the rest of my life ....not bad if u ask me

How many folks love Lieca?  I do.  Just as much as my Leupolds.  Guess what, I have had one Lieca product (a range finder) and if failed on me.  I had to return it, and they took great care of me - upgrading me a product level.  I guess by the logic of some here, because I had an issue with Lieca I should say they make crummy products? 

No product will have zero issues.  it is what happens when they do fail that can make or break a company. 

Also, consider that you will hear about more issues with Leupold than other brands of similar quality, just because the sample size is larger-my grandfather was using Leupold scopes in the 1940's (and they are still covered by the same warrantee as the one I got 2 weeks ago.

Leica's are junk, go Swaro. 

JK - I have a Leica 1600.  Which one did you have that broke?

[Rob]

I had the 1200.

Only took 8 days from the day I sent my scope in to leupold to the day i got it back rebuilt, and cleaned to like new condition  that was customer service

Outstanding

I compared my Burris Fullfied to my kids leopold vari x II and it was no comparison. Unfortunately it was an early light deal and with the Burris i could barely make out the shapes of elk.With my kids Leopold I could tell every one were cows. Dumped that Burris.

I had 2 burris fulfield and used to talk them up. I just recently was shooting at 300 yard gongs with a 4x12 7 year old leupy and a 4.5x14 burris tjats about the same age. No comparison. Dull and dim. I sold both of my burrises and upgraded to leupys.I love them. So to thinkingman. Give it time

Good to hear, my only experience with Leupold service was when I sent my son's Pinnacle bino's in to repair a loose eyecup and they sent back a brand new pair a week later.  My Leupold riflescopes have performed flawlessly!

Now on the other hand, my Burris FF has been back to get the reticle repaired twice. Yeah, like Leupold, they have a lifetime warranty, but I'd rather have a scope that I didn't have to send in for repair, no more Burris for me.

Right ON...

LIke many of you, I've been doing this for a long time now. When I was a kid, I had 59$ Tascos on my guns... and they all failed, time and again. AND...TASCO replaced them for Zero $$ each time! However, I was still not pleased with them failing (fogging up inside).

Then I had a hunnert dollar Bushnell that did the same thing. Replaced free of charge. Sold it. I had $175 Bushnell binos that failed... Replaced for Free! My dad, same binos, Fail.. replaced for free!

Picked up a nice older Burris scope at a pawn shop... seals failed... Fixed, recharged, shipping, everything, Free...

My Zeiss binos failed... got a brand new pair, (my others were HEAVILY used and 7 yrs old)...Free replacement.

My dads Leicas had some focusing issues... Fixed for Free!

My dad and I have had 5 different Leupold scopes over the last 20 yrs... no failures yet. Hunting every condition imaginable. Dropped... banged around in truck. For those saying the optics aren't clear or bright... fooey... BS...

Do not press play if your ears bleed after hearing a couple cuss words.
