send it in to customer service. Free repairs is the norm.

So, when I bought that used Leupold Vari-X III, for $250, I discovered that it wouldn't hold zero. Sent it in, and got a call from a Leupold service rep telling me that the "guts" were busted up, and so which new VX-3 did I want them to send me as a FREE replacement?!

I took the 2.5-8X, which listed at $430. I could have gotten the most expensive one, but I had no need for the higher magnification. AND they installed a Heavy Duplex reticle in it for me AT NO CHARGE. I'm a happy camper.

If you ever have a Leupold scope go bad on you, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER "throw it in a crusher".

Send it to me - heh, heh, heh.

"Buying used scopes can be a disaster". Not when it's a used Leupold.
