I bought a Leupold 1000 tbr DNA a few years ago, probably about 4-5. Toward the end of season last year I noticed the display wasn’t full. I figured low battery. I changed battery out a month or so ago and got same reading. Barely enough to see half the display. I sent it to Leupold and got a response asking to contact them. Called yesterday and guy told me the unit is clearly malfunctioning and out of warranty, only has a two year warranty. Offered a 60% discount on a new unit, which the next comparable would’ve been $240 something. Told him I was going to buy a vortex since their warranty would’ve covered it. He said is there anything else I can do, I’ll get this one sent back to you.
Pretty disappointed as I bought that and used it for LE purposes and no longer with previous agency so it was strictly hunting last year. Anyway, wanted to vent and maybe heed some folks to stay clear of Leupold electronics since their warranty is only two years. A buddy on my PD unit had an old Leupold range finder go out and he sent it in. They replaced it no questions asked it was nearly 5-6 years old then and this was 2 years ago.
