[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1708434, member: 68875"] Not saying S&B do not RARELY have to go back for service. But, I would bet that is one S&B for every 100+ Leupolds that have to go back. I like those odds. I have owned only one Leupold in my life. A Vari-X III 6.5-20x50 LR. It had to go back. Used it occasionally for a few years afterwards, then sold it. I have many buddies that have sent Leupolds back for warranty. Several different models, and a couple have even been back more than once. Similar to Vortex. Awesome CS and warranty....because they need it. Most of those guys will never own another one. I own four S&Bs. One bought new, 3 bought used. Never an issue with any of them. I know a bunch of guys that run them too. Never heard a single one of them have an issue. My life might not depend on my scopes, but if I am spending a 10+ day hunting, or even a 3 day hunt, I need to know my scope will be ready when the time comes. The best warranty is one you never have to use. Heck, I have two Premiers that have no warranty that I trust more than any Leupold. There are other brands out there that I have no personal knowledge of them needing to go back. [/QUOTE]
