    As above, can take a few months but can't fault end result. I sent two, one to be repaired after I tried to fix something that wasn't broken, and another which had a hard life, to get refurb which I was happy to pay for.

    Broken scope came back fixed.

    Refurb scope didn't come back. It got replaced with a similar magnification Vx3 at no charge, a big upgrade due to the original no longer being in production.


    You basically just have to ask nicely at you local Leupold dealer and they take it from there.

    I have one I need to send back, please let me know who you tee it up with as I would be keen to get in touch with them and send mine as well, hopefully they can package them together and we can share postage. I talked to my hunting and fishing, they didn't want to know about it as I didn't buy the scope from them.

    Any shop that buys from the agent is technically a authorised leupold dealer
    And should help you out
    If not shoot the agent a email (nz asia) address is on the leupold website
    Under international dealers
    And they should be able to point you in the direction of a helpful local shop
    Or help directly get it to the repair agent in Aussie or USA
    They are good to deal with

    Down this way rivers to ranges is happy to sort it out

    Most ahops can take it but they will charge your freight or wait until the rep comes and picks them up. Juat e.ail to nz asia and send direct to them one less hand it goes through is one less chance of a fuck up.

    I sent a scope back this year to the USA Leupold factory for repair. It cost about $40 for the airmail there. Leupold paid for the return postage. The whole process from sending to receiving took about 3 weeks and cost the airmail to the factory of about $40.
