recently my shooting buddy knocked my 22-250 with it's leupold scope off the bench onto the CONCRETE floor! there was a large impact wound to the foreend of the stock and a large impact to the scope. i fired a few rounds and the poa andpoi were WAY off and the retical didn't look right. i sent the scope to leupold with a letter stating that i was at fault and requested an inspection and appropriate correction/repair at MY expense. the scope was serviced and repaired AT NO COST to me! i basically have a new scope! now i know why i own more leupold scope,bases, and rings than any other brand. today's daily bulliten's visit to the leupold facility was very educational and reminded me of my good fortune to own a product made by someone who truly believes in standing by their product and it's performance. THANK YOU leupold.[[/quote] if i can see you, i can touch you.BANG!
