Author Topic: Leupold Scope Offering????? (Read 579 times)

This is my first encounter with Leupold.

My brand new VX-iii 4.5-14 40mm scope with varmint reticle has finally arrived. To my surprise the scope has no covers included. I sent an Email to Leupold to enquire about this situation and received a reply in 3 hours:

"No lens covers are packaged with the VX-III 4.5-14x40mm scope.
Leupold does offer accessory Alumina Threaded Lens Covers for the VX-III
scope models. At our website, www.leupold.com click on Hunting &
Shooting, click on Accessories and click on Alumina Accessories for
further information and details. The Accessories may be purchased
through your sporting goods dealer or a mail order dealer."

This is the first time I purchase a Leupold scope, also happens to be the most expensive scope, that doesn't provide covers. All Bushnell Elites, 1/3 of the price, come with covers.

I am speechless!!!! :mad:

I bought over 30 and never got a single lens cover. I have also bought a IOR Valdada for $870 and did not get lens covers. When I did buy different scope and got there cheap lens covers, I just took them off and bought Butler creek flip up covers. I have a box full of lens covers, if you want some, e-mail me your address and I will send you some.

I'd like to see leupold include scope covers myself. I'm not sure, but I don't think leupold enjoys the margins the makers of "overseas" models have with cheaper labor.

All things considered, you've got a really good AMERICAN assembled scope with a great warranty and kept a home boy employed. YOU DID GOOD! :-)

You would have got used to this by now! LOL

I judge Leupold by the quality of their products and customer service.

If Leupold did start offering rubber scope covers with their scopes..you know they would be real good ones..and it would jack up their price even more....
