My Leupold Pinnacles have served me well for 15 plus years. I noticed the focus wheel becoming a little loose. If I send these in, will Leupold repair a 15 year old binocular, or not? I am not interested in a new binocular, just want these fixed. I'm gonna email Leupold, just figured I see if anybody has had any experience with this. mtmuley

Interested in your outcome...have a couple elevation turret issues; one too tight, one loosening unpredictably.

My dad has a small pair of Leupold binos that are at least 25 years old, needless to say they don't make them anymore. He had them permanently fog up so he sent them in, and they were returned fixed with no questions other than "we didn't think anyone out there still had these". Good service.

I had an issue with the same pair as you. The focal wheel wouldn't move. They fixed it along with replacing the rubber armor. This was a couple years ago.
Hopefully I get the same result. Wouldn't mind the rubber body being replaced. Mine are worn thin in the typical grip areas. Thanks guys. mtmuley

they'll fix them just don't expect a quick turn around in my experience.

I’d just call them and see what they say
An email and call is on the list after wolf hunting through probly February. Just wondered if anybody else had old binos repaired instead of replaced. mtmuley

Stellar Leupold cs during the past 25 years but still waiting on the repair/return of an Alumina I sent in over 2.5 months ago. A friendly/polite call into cs was apparently not effective. Hmm
I'm sure they are probably overwhelmed with people wanting fast turnaround at the height of hunting season.

Not 100% on binos but they repaired a vx3 scope for me that was purchased in 1988. All I payer was shipping to Leupold. Wouldn't think binos have a different warranty. Good luck

When people talk about hunting a "burn"- you're not literally supposed to be hunting while the fire is still raging! Just a friendly piece of advice.
That will probly wash right off. mtmuley

I know but the eye cups work a little stiff as does the focus knob. pretty sure I'm gonna check the box that it is OK to replace without consulting me first on the service request form. Man i loved those binos...
Here's to new eyecups. Stay strong squirrel. mtmuley
I’ve always had positive experiences with Leupold. My friend complained about his 25 year old Leupold rifle scope and asked what he should buy to replace it. I suggested he send the to Leupold who replaced them with a new model.
