I found my new Redfield spotting scope, not even a month old, broke at the mount ring when I pulled it out of its bag this morning. I hope their warranty covers this. I didn't abuse it in any way

Wow, bummer dude.

Where'd you get it from? Return still possible?

Got it online via Amazon. I'm gonna call Redfield early tomorrow morning.

Sounds like a manufacturing defect to me.

Amazon has a phenomenal return policy.  They'll pay shipping and everything, no questions asked.

That's good to know. I just emailed pics to Leupold. We'll see what happens now..

That would be a good policy if you break a Redfield and Leupold replaces the scope................

+1 Go your account ASAP and request return, I think that you have 30 days, IIRC.

Leupold bought out Redfield in 2008. All Redfield spotting scopes have a limited lifetime warranty. This is the reason I chose Redfield.

Alot of people don't realize alot of credit cards will pay for damage, even negligent damage or theft, within the first 90 days of owning a product.  This is if the manufacturer or store doesn't cover the loss first.  You would have to read the benefits and terms for your credit card.  My friend got $1,000 back when her new washer/dryer was stolen.  I got into a motorcycle accident once and they refunded me the cost of $300 motorcycle pants.

That's interesting, I never knew that.

So how'd you do with that scope? Are they going to send you a new one?

They told me to send it in...I will once I get a job and a check. :/

Yo.  PM up if you need help with that. 

Dude, seriously, go to Amazon.  Let them handle the return.  They will pay the shipping!

Doesn't amazon only allow so many returns?  If you use them all up then you're SOL....or at least that's what someone told me one time lol.

Can't say if that's true.  I do know that I've returned multiple things through Amazon, even had a couple of items that I had to return repeatedly.  Never once was there anything other than an immediate affirmative response.
