I've not yet owned a leupold product, and I've seen a lot of people slam them over their price.. saying they're comparable to lower priced scopes made by other manufacturers. That may be true, but I've come to think of it like this: Your buying a scope and the best "extended" warranty ever.

Now, some people will say that companies x, y, and z all have lifetime warranties too, but from what I've heard and read, no company seems to quite as consistantly easy to work with, speedy, or generous with their warranties as them.

I think I'll buy one of their scopes when I can.
