Leupold Scopes in H-Series Burnt Bronze Cerakote

11/4/2017

Ok, we're kinda proud of ourselves on these. We've developed a process to Cerakote scopes with the heat-cured H Series formula, even high end ones like the Leupold VX-6HD with Firedot in the back here.

NOTICE ON CERAKOTED SCOPES:
DUE TO HIGH DEMAND, TURNAROUND TIME IS NOW 6 WEEKS.
YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE YOUR SCOPE BEFORE NOV 1st.
Sorry guys, no rush service is available.

This batch just left for a large Michigan retailer, who is making Browning XBolt Pro packages as seen at SHOT Show 2017. (And honestly, we're a little disappointed that whoever did Browning's didn't coat the screws on the mounting rings. But we digress....)

Our first challenge was the numbers on the power dial, and the line they meet for adjusting on the eyepiece itself. They are laser etched, and would be very faint after coating. Solution: We hand engraved the numbers and lines/arrows.

After engraving, the scope is carefully prepared to protect the signature gold ring and optics. We do our thing, and viola, one Burnt Bronze scope is born. Rinse, Repeat.

We're really pleased with how these have come out finished, and are looking forward to our next adventure!

Shown above: Leupold VX-6HD with Firedot.

Can the Browning X-Bolt Pro Long Range be chambered in 338 Lapua Magnum?

Also, can it be fitted with an octagon barrel? I know the stock would have to be modified.

Hi Tom! The cost to Cerakote is $65. Most scopes also need to have the eyepiece rings engraved so the numbers/markings remain visible. The cost for that is $25. We can alternatively tape that off and leave it black if you prefer. Thanks for the inquiry:)

I am buying a hells canyon speed and would like a scope with the same coating. Do you sell them? How much are they? Do you do all brands or just luepold?

We Cerakote scopes to order, and do not keep coated ones in stock since there such a wide range of them. We can certainly quite you on any scope you have in mind, and most brands. We have so far worked on Leupold, Nikon and Swarovski scopes, but I think we can do any brand. Feel free to call during business hours, ur shoot us an email to service@GibbsGuns.com for more detailed info. Thanks for asking!

Will Cerakote a Leupold scope void the lifetime warranty from Leupold

4/6/2018 08:16:37 pm

We are not associated with Leupold and cannot speak for them, however, they have told me by phone that Cerakote does not void the warranty. They can be reached at 1-800-LEUPOLD if you have further questions.

Amazing work, and thanks sharing this information. Quick question, if I send in my Leupold VX-6HD to have it match the barrel of my Hells Cayon XBolt, is it possible to have my rugged ridge extreme bipod and picatinny rail mount coated with Cerakote to match the stock, and if not possible for the stock, to have it matched to the scoop / barrel (burnt copper)?

Does getting the Leupolds cerakoted do anything to the lifetime manufacturers warranty?

9/11/2018 04:48:11 pm

We cannot speak for Leupold, but they have told us it does not as long as it is not damaged in coating. Call 1-800-leupold for confirmation from the manufacturer. Thanks!
