Default My hat's off to Leupold

I'm not on their payroll. But you might think so when you talk to me from now on.
I sent them an old M7 - 4X x 28 scope that has sat on top of my .243 for the past 30 years. Before that it was on some other rifle my grandfather took in in trade in Feb 1961. The scope is 43 frikikin yrs old!
I sent it in for repairs b/c it had developed some fogginess inside and had a couple pretty bad chips in the ocular lens from my own misuse.

They replaced the entire eyepiece shell INCLUDING A NEW MODERN LENS! Completely dissassembled all internal parts and reassembled. Checked it for travel and jump and drift.

They charged me Nothing! NOTHING!
ThIs new lens obviously has some pretty good coatings, on the outside at least....unlike the old 43 yrd old lens that was all beat up.
I will buy every decently priced Leupold I ever see....and new ones for that matter.
ELKampmaster mentioned on the "Which Scope" thread that Leupold is the best combination of the factors needed in a scope....when it comes to "show time".
For my money any company that stands behind it's product like this has me for a customer until I expire. Maybe longer than that.
