Update:
Received the spotter back from Leupold this morning. Whereas I was someone cordial in my rant before, I'm compelled to just go off on these clowns at this point.
To recap the warranty issues, they are two fold:
1) The reticle rotates within the scope when magnification turned up or down. The reticle would rotate the same dorection the ring is turned.
2) An audible clicking noise when rotating the parallax ring. Doing so in rapid succession (back and forth/ in and out) would cause a "click, click, click" sound.
Per the Repair Order (see below), Leupold performed three things:
- Reworked Erector System
- Replaced Eyepiece Assembly / Lens
- Complete Internal Inspection
- "final, comprehensive mechanical and visual inspection to ensure each product meets our performance specifications"
This company sent me back the spotter and it still has the same GD issues as before. The clicking sound is still there. Worst yet, the reticle rotates, however now.it rotates when I set the parallax...not when I set the magnification (seriously!?!?!?)
I will be calling them Monday and will try very hard to not go totally postal. But its beyond comical at this point...
