Anyone have any recent experience with Leopuld warrenty work???

I heard they would not do warrenty work on them (45x45 Competition)

Will contact Leopuld as suggested.

If they can't repair that would be due to no parts. They will repair anything they still have parts for.

Somewhere here there's a thread that has a couple places folks have used for repairs, or did at one time.

Did you have an issue with sending it to Leupold?

 

[jelenko]

As jxb mentioned, they honor their lifetime warranty. But, if they don't have parts, they will replace the scope. Unfortunately, their available choices for replacement may not fit your need as well [or, maybe, at all] as the scope you sent in.

There is at least one other previous thread that reported Leupold no longer has parts for the 45x45.

They are no longer repairing the 45's. They will replace it with a varible that just isn't srbr compatible for the most part

I’ve had a pair of Leupold 30 year old 7x30 binoculars and a fairly new Mark AR 6-18x40 scope repaired. Both returned correctly and in a short period of time

I have used the Leupold service many times. Every time it was perfect.

I called them some months ago and they were very uninterested in hearing anything about a competition scope (36X). I hung up thinking this short conversation was the end of my dollars going toward a "lifetime" warranty.

You just cant expect them to keep making "spare" parts for scopes that were specialty scopes with a low production number. They will honor their warranty but if parts are not available you may not like what you get. Now if it was a comparable scope that went south on you you would have no recourse at all.

Let us know how it shoots, my two VX-II 6-18 I sent in came back working as good or better than they ever did.

Looks very similar to my most recent 6-18 on before/after for elev/wind adjustment, almost nothing when it arrived and good when it left. Really nice they provide those details as well as the tests done in the paragraph above it.

 

[cavedweller60]

That's good to know, I too, had heard they weren't doing repairs on those any more. It's good that they are.
