^^ How can you tell that them optics out of the box are e.g. not holding zero, have turrets not tracking right at all,... So only cosmetic issues "bad out of the box" are being caught? Your customers can tell you right away?
When I started this post, its sole intent was to find out if anyone had heard from Korth as I had called to check on the progress of my new rangefinder and was not able to contact them. I have nothing but total respect for this company and have had nothing but good experiences with them.
Some people that posted replies to this post when I first put up were very rude and obnoxious and I told them so and will never do business with them, ever, and placed them on my "ignore" thing on here. I also asked a moderator to delete this whole thing but I see that has not happened, so I will ask again.
In my books , Korth is awesome to deal with.
Here i thought this would be about the rude folks at Korth.
But it was a poster instead.
Having sold and mounted over a thousand scopes over the years we open the box, examine the exterior, look through it while adjusting magnification (also parallax if equipped), check for level of reticle against adjustment for windage and elevation, confirm described adjustments work (reticle tracks as expected against bore sighter), look for foreign material (specs and debris) on lenses, make sure ocular adjustment properly focuses reticle, make sure illumination works properly (if available) and confirm scope properly magnifies image without distortion. All of the above steps are done routinely when we mount a scope and some things occasionally don't work as expected so the time to find out these problems are during the examination and mounting process. Obviously we can't confirm the scope can hold zero but if is bad out of the box we will return it immediately. Over the years we have rejected a surprising number of scopes before the customer goes out the door. Phil.
I have 2 scopes at Korth right now,they contacted me regarding them ,I had tracking on the parcel and they called me a few days after they recieved the parcel.kelly[/QUOT
I thought I would say that Korth replaced my 35 year old Leupold 4 x and tightened up the eye piece on my efr,there was more time in shipping than the repair, kelly
