I've gone to Leupold for warranty 3 times in the last 30 or 40 years and in every instance, they stated that the warranty was for life and replaced the scope with a new one, even though it was obviously a well used/abused scope!

You’ll see the same issues with Leupold. If Leupold built its scopes in the USA it would say that on them but it doesn’t.leupold has been around since the late 50's / 60's vortex

They rarely fix anything anymore and will send a replacement.
I needed a scope cleaned/re sealed nothing wrong with it mechanically and they couldn’t even do that lol. They just sent a “new” 12 year old scope to me as a replacement, I returned it, f em
Yes. I sent them a fixed power 6x mark 4. They sent me a variable illuminated “mark 4” they aren’t mark 4’s they’re vari scopes without the gold. It was sfp with m1 turrets and was built 12 years ago.
I’ll try trace or someone else for the cleaning
Something that doesn't need to to fixed from BNIB.

Leupold & Stevens designs, machines, and assembles all of its riflescopes in Beaverton, Oregon, USA. All of them are made in the USA. Their binoculars are not
Still old used stuff, nxs, Schmidt and bender pmii other than one new march
You’ll run into issues with older Kahles zf 69,84,95 scopes Kahles won’t service them anymore and neither will SODIA - LAGER & LOGISTIK. Same with the Swarovski zfm scopes.
Leupold won’t service any of the older fixed power mark 4 scopes.
S&B idk.
USO idk. Gonna ask this week about their older sn, st scopes and see
Doesn’t matter I guess if all you want is a wall hanger. If you want to use them or keep them functional your sorta
outa luck.

No, they don't say made in u s a because all parts used are not sourced from the USA. But still a lot better than any vortex product
You're streching it now, ehh ?
My older brother just sent in a Leupold that I sold him to Korth , a Varix111 8.5-25X IIRC.
Anyway they cleaned it , checked the parallax, and changed the windage turret because he was having issues adjusting it and re-gassed it - no charge.
He is quite happy with it and finds it clearer than his other scope, but I can't remember if it is a Delta or an Athlon.

Well I was lucky… I sent a vxIII 2.5-8 German #1 reticle and something was wrong with it, between every shot I had to play with the magnifying ring to bring back a clear image, sent it to Korth inside of 3 weeks including shipping both ways and my optic was back, fixed, cleaned all lenses and gaz purged all that for free with good communication.
I can’t say vortex is bad regarding warranty but they are not as fast that is for sure and communication is ####, but they warranty there stuff too.
Now, if it doesn’t say made in the USA then it ain’t made in the USA, but I will still buy leupold for my rifle optics!

I guess calling and asking some questions would be in order.
If not satisfied with their reply, call Trace and see if they can fix your issue.
Sometimes paying for the repair and keeping your prized possession is worthy of the expense.
I know Bushnell f****d me out of a nice scope that Trace would of fixed.
