I then took a 3x9 Adjustable Objective Leupold rifle scope back over to their customer service desk in Beaverton Oregon, as I found late in the hunt, that this now discontinued and over 30 year old scope would no longer "Hold Zero".
Along with the scope I dropped off 2 Leupold spotting scopes. One was actually a Windriver " Sequoia 15x45 " model "by Leupold" the other a Compact Leupold Gold Ring fixed 25 power and a pair of 8x82 Gold Ring Binos. for cleaning, inspection and service. ( All of which is free of charge ).
I was notified by phone that due to the fact they no longer produce a 3x9 with AO, I would be recieving a new VX2 4x12 with AO as a replacement.... then I got a call 45 Minutes ago, telling they were out of those also. So I would be getting a new VX3 4.5x14 in it's place.......This is a $550 dollar scope
.It gets better
.... He just called again, minutes ago with a final up-date an mentioned everything had shipped and that they had replaced my 15x45 power Wind River brand Spotting Scope with a brand new Leupold "Ventana 2" model of the same power range..... Being as my 66th Birthday is Friday the 31st
I'm getting some pretty nice new birthday presents. 
I can not recommend Leupold and their great warranty and customer service department high enough !
I have 8 of their Rifle Scopes, as well as the binos and 2 spotting scopes and 1 Crossbones. I will never consider another brand.....Wellllll, I did talk to them really hard about comming out with a new illuminated crossbwow scope with no success
So until that happens, I'll stick with my Hawke XB30 Pros. as far as my Crossbows go. Gene
