    Now we all know that the Leupold lifetime warranty is pretty good but to be honest this scope was nearly through it second lifetime.

    It had so much use that the alloy around the lenses on the right hand side where your arm rubbed against it had had worn quite thin plus it was bent. Leupold sent a replacement scope and a letter asking if they may keep the scope for their collection as they had no other that showed such obvious signs of hard use.

    Throughout the years many scopes have come and gone among professional shooters but no company has ever been able to stand up to the quality, longevity, 'Tadpole Free', honest lifetime warranty of the Leupold Company.

    I have replaced my Redfield with a Redfield only because I have had a spare one for many years
    I was given an old Leupold m8? on my first rifle, a Parker hale 243. Scope was more or less rooted, lenses were poked, it was covered in scratches and worn out, and had a crushed tube. Sent it back to Leupold hopeful of refurbishment and they replaced it with a new scope also. Man I was stoked at the time. Pretty good service.
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.
