Bushnell Buyers Beware

[jjb4900]

I've had great support from company's standing behind their products even when it was my fault, Ruger to be exact.....that's just bad business, especially for the price of an $80 scope.

Rugar warrantees all of their firearms for the life of the firearm regardless of where you bought it. (Leupold has a similar warrantee policy)

 

I once bulged the barrel very slightly a few inches in front of the cylinder on my Rugar Old rmy percussionn revolver. I had a pretty good idea how it happened.

 

I called them & told them i had bought the gun used. They said it didn't matter where, when or how I bought it. It was warranteed for "life". They instructed me to send it in for evaluation. I also wanted the cylinder rebleued, & the grip frame repaired where the top left screw boss was cracked & was willing to pay for it.

 

I sent it in & sure enough they determined that it was due to a slight barrel obstruction that ca,sed a momentary spike in pressure, (wax & cormeal filler) so the bill was on me. (rightfully so)They replaced the barrel, (which also required rebluing the frame)reblued the cylinder, reparied & re-anodized the grip frame (sent loose in the box) & the gun had a brand new grip frame installed.

 

So, they essentialy installed a new barrel, repaired the broken grip frame, re-finished the entire pistol, installed a new grip frame & returned the weapon with a bill for a whopping $65. Now this was probably close to 30 years ago, but still, that's a lot of work for $65 even in mid '80s dollars.

 

Bear in mind that they weren't obligated in any way to perform any of the work. I was very pleased W/the service I received & thought the price would have been resonable @ 2X the $65 they charged me.

Agree 100%.

 

I have a vari-x II on my .308 and will be getting another.  No worries from Leupold if anything goes wrong.
