Quote History Quoted:How can I say this -- every Leupold optic I own has been sent back to Leupold for something -- and all are fantastic afterward.
Leupold owners here acting like they don't have the 14400 Beaverton OR address memorized.

Not sure I get your point. Maybe I'm missing something. I have more than two dozen scopes at any given time, and they are mostly mid-priced to high end from many different companies. Quite a few have been and continue to be from Leupold.
In more than forty years, only two Leupold scopes were returned. One was damaged when I was on horseback. Rifle and I took a tumble when the horse stumbled. The ocular lens of the scope struck hard rock and shattered. Leupold replaced the scope for free. That was about 20 years ago.
The second instance was a recent seal failure in the ocular lens of an old LPS 2.5-10x45. The heavily used scope just wore out. The scope was about 25 years old. Leupold did not have the part to repair it, so they sent me a free VX6-HD 2-12x42 Firedot Duplex as a replacement. Pretty nice upgrade.
Neither of these returns was Leupold's "fault". Certainly not material or workmanship. Many other Leupold scopes I've had or still have never needed return. Anything can break. Nothing is perfect. But their customer service has been rare and superb.
