Did leupold product fail or customer service failed you?

A product failure is a customer service failure. The greatest customer service a company can provide is a product that works.

I’ve only purchased four things from Vortex and have been disappointed in each of them. Never again!

WRONG, i have never seen a Diamondback scope other than the Tactical FFP line made in China. They are all made in the Philippines. The FFP models are made in China.

Seriously where do you come up with all this?

WTS - Vortex Diamondback HP 4-16x42

I have a good condition Vortex Diamondback 4-16 HP scope with the Vortex Pro rings. Dead hold BDC MOA reticle. https://vortexoptics.com/vortex-pro-1-inch-rings.html This is a Philippines made scope with adjustable parallax. Moving to all 30mm tubes. Scope has usage marks but nothing that...

This one was just bought Aug 26th from MidwayUSA. I told the guy that Midway just got more in stock.

Burris Signature HD Rifle Scope 2022 Rebate

The Droptine series aren’t bad. I had one on my smokeless Encore for 2 years and it took a beating with no problems. That scope is now on my AR. Here’s my daughters buck from last muzzleloader season with the Droptine

Is that Signature made in China?

Hate to break it to ya, but Leupold spotters are Made in China as well as most their binoculars. BX-4/BX-5 Binos are made in Japan, everything else is Chinese. Was very disappointed seeing that after dropping almost $1k on a SX-4 spotter.

And on the scopes, do a little research. They don’t have the best reputation these days. I had a VX-6 fail during a hunt, and while the Mark 5’s are super nice I can’t trust them either.

Buy a Nightforce or Trijicon. If you can get discount on Leupold, you can likely get discounts on these brands too.

Yea I was gonna save up and get a kowa spotter. It’s really disappointing that nothing you can find is made in usa. The AMG scope was w the reticle made in Germany. No longer carry it but it was too much scope for a hunting rig.

Only experience I have w a trijicon is a acog. Used those extensively. Don’t like them.

Where Are Vortex Scopes Made

Vortex scopes are considered the industry standard due to their incredible durability and quality. But where are Vortex scopes actually made?

opticsforce.com

 

[magtech]

My leupold spotter ~$500 was made in China, so are a bunch of their other items. Just buy whats best for you. They're all sellouts.

 

[OneShot]

What was your issues? What have you gone to?

Had a tracking issue on a PST, sent it back and when it returned, it was fine. Sold it soon after.
During a hunt, the focus knob stopped working on an HST. Sent it back to get fixed. It’s been a good scope ever since, but will be getting replaced with a Trijicon Tenmile.
I’m not loyal to one brand or another. If it works and I like it, I’ll keep it. If not, I’ll sell and move on and try another.

Yes it is but the DB HP posted in the topic was not.

That page has several mistakes. Considering i have a Diamondback HP and it sure as hell aint made in China. ONLY the Diamondback FFP models are made in China. All other Diamondbacks are made in the Philippines.

That same factory probably makes vortex, nikon, maven to boot…

 

[GMB54-120]

Leupold has been using Asian sourced glass for quite a while in many of their scopes. I cant confirm it but from what im hearing the lower end scopes are using Chinese made glass too.

Isn't the reliability of Leupold pretty trash lately?

Always has been.
Many years of 'When it failed, they sent me a new one!' like that's some kind of prize for buying a scope that failed.

Who do you consider a top contender for scopes? S&B? Nightforce?

I mean I expect every company to have some issues. Just really pisses me that w vortex you pay a grand for some binos and they are made in China while they use to be made in Japan. Anything man made is going to have flaws. I just wish there was a company focused on American optics.
