Ahhh SoCal,  right.  Calling people liars, expecting that people just accept they were ripped off, thanks for the input.  Helpful, NOT.  I did not buy their cheapest offering.  I did not do math on upgrading my defect.  Why not just buy the 3x?  But thanks for whatever point you were trying to make except for calling someone you have never net a liar.  Tells me a lot about you and makes whatever you say next worthless.  

I don't see how my location has anything to do with this. 

My point was, considering you sent back an out of warranty item, being offered a discount on a replacement is more than fair. 

Also, I don't need to meet you in person to say you're a liar, I just have to read your posts.

Consistent with others from your location.  You read parts of my post, and ignored others.  You decided I was a liar and also name called.  I stated facts, have accepted that I waited to send the range finder in too late, and believe that there is a defect in that product that deserves some level of review.  In fact, there are forums suggesting that in the past Leupold has supported their products well after warranty.  This is all after the fact for me.  

You continue to call people liars anonymously, snowflake.  I get you.  You are the warranty police, you neither speak for Leupold or against.  And you got an upgrade at a good price.  Good for you.  I hope you feel better just to pontificate on how you know warranties and how you signed on to the defective product upgrade thing.  I know I do.

It's great when companies honor a warranty for something out of warranty but you can't be upset if they don't. 

The fact is you wanted to come here and vent, got called out and now you're upset. 

Get over it.

Not going to call anyone a liar but the above comment just isn't called for. We cant go around discriminating against people just because of where they live.

Back on to the topic at hand, i know how frustrating it can be when you have paid quite a lot for something and just as the warranty expires it conks out. Its all thanks to the small print.

Comapanies can deal with claims that are just out of warranty but its at their discretion. I always side with caution on these things.

Ok, resureecting this thread - please ignore the silly argument.

I'm having the same problem with my Leupold gx-4, my display shows just the crosshairs and the last digit of the yardage.  At one point it showed only half of the battery life indicator, and seemed to slowly fade out more, starting from the bottom left of the viewfinder.  I replaced the battery, but it did nothing.  I may get a different battery (I was using a Duracell lithium cr2 before).   But I'm concerned its the device itself. 

Any thoughts?

UPDATE:  No go, two year warranty. Lifetime is for their non-electronic scopes (like their rifle scopes).  Probably just going to buy a Bushnell.  The Tour 4 seems like a good price at $274 on amazon.

Got the offer, 60% off MSRP (+tax) for a new one.  I'm going to get a gx-3i3 now.  🙂

Leupold offered you that because your out of warranty rangefinder failed?

Damn, that’s generous!

Yeah, I was impressed too.  I may now buy a rifle scope from them too (those are lifetime warranty).

I have worked with them in the past and they have been GREAT. I had similar issues and they replace the unit for shipping cost. They were polite and helpful at every stage. They were a "little slow" taking about 2 weeks but I love them.

I have a VX 3x9.  Highly recommended.  They make an outstanding product.

    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
