Leupold Files Lawsuit Against Nightforce

[Bed Wetter]

I don't like it when mom and dad fight. If NF can show that the technology is widely used or predates Leupold's patents I think they're off the hook. However, Leupold has been around a long time and is responsible for a lot of the scope technology we have now. I wonder if Leupold is just fishing or if other companies are paying them royalties. Interesting side note, NF just purchased Horus. Pocketbook might be a little thin at the moment.

BEAVERTON, Ore. —-(Ammoland.com)- Leupold & Stevens, Inc., has filed a civil suit in the U.S. District Court of Oregon alleging patent violations by Lightforce U.S.A., doing business as Nightforce.

The lawsuit is based on six patents for riflescope adjustments, internal optical mechanisms, and flip covers.

Doesn't matter what scope I have, I can't hit the broad side of a barn from inside the barn. Now the scatter gun, look out.

I'm not sure I need a ton of tech in my rifle scope, especially since I don't think I've killed a deer past 100 yards. However, I'll always buy Leopold for the simple fact that their customer service is second to none.

My uncle had an old, old Leopold scope a few years back. He actually dropped the thing, and the adjustment nobs quit working. This was a long-defunct scope, but he decided to send it in anyway because of the lifetime warranty. Leopold sent him a brand new VX-II! Basically got to swap out an old rifle scope for a brand new one.

My VX-II is still dead-on-nuts, but it's nice to know that if something ever were to happen, the company backs their products.
