Leupold Custom Shop Closed

As they say there is one constant in the world and that is change.

Leopold is no different than 99% of the rest of the companies out there. They change to support the people that are buying their product. A lot like cars and trucks. I like the look of a vintage Dodge Charger and not the look of the ones on the showrooms today. And while there is a market for that vintage Charger it is too small where the market for the newer ones is quite large in comparison.
 
Every optics company that sells a product is kind of in the same boat. I am surprised that Leupold still has a factory.

They (almost all optics companies that don't charge $1000 plus) buy junk from China, decent stuff from the Phillipines or good stuff from Japan and flip it.
 
I don’t buy that. They can just raise the price and do what ever amount of work they choose to. These will be the same techs doing repairs.
It is a shame either way. I’ll just have to buy a new scope instead of upgrading this one. And it will be a Swaro not Leupold!

Agree. I’m buying a Swarovski scope as well to go with my other ones

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris
