Lifetime warranty... really means lifetime warranty! - Leupold VX-2 4-12x40mm Rifle Scope

I didn't buy my VX-2 4x12x40mm from OP, back in the very early 90's this was the top dog scope on the market. They were by mail order only out of a catalog. Best Price back then was $498. I still have mine on my Rem 7mm Mag. I've hunted with it all over the world including Africa. It's 27 years old now and I was having trouble sighting it in after an AZ Elk trip. I sent it in to Leupold to see if they could fix it. Turns out it was covered under warranty and the seals wore out. They fixed it all like new and returned it to me with a note for good luck in the future. I'll be buy mounts this week on OP and remounting it. I hope it lasts another 27 years.
