Is it all Leopolds

[realunlucky]

Well after reading this I took my Leupold off my rifle and beat it with my hammer and threw it in trash can I am going back to open sights Just would not feel right selling it or giving it to someone would not be able to sleep

Don't lie gun was more accurate afterwards

Well I can at least hit trash can now from 10 feet

Lol, like I said in post #281, post #279 was a great closure...

More drama than a math classroom full of middle schoolers. Ask me how I know...

Had the same thing happen last fall with vx6. Confirmed zero before driving to Idaho with 20 rounds. Got to camp after a long highway drive. Gun was in the back seat in padded hard case. Shot to confirm and was off 6” high 2” right.
Then it didn’t want to track to adjust when I tried to re zero.

Gotta beat on it when you adjust zero. You don't carry a sawed off broomstick with your Leupold?

This entire dumpster fire could be easily avoided if people just tested their own gear. Watch a video on how to properly mount a scope in order to take that variable out of the equation. Go shoot a tall target test with your gun at 100 yards. That’ll tell you if your turret tracks/returns to zero. If you shoot even once a month, start by checking zero every time. You’ll find out really quickly if your scope is a problem, no matter what brand it is. If yours is working, use it. If it’s not working, try something else.

Your logic does make sense if you are telling people the scope won’t hold zero when you sell it. Maybe you did that, but I can’t imagine anyone would pay much for a scope that you advertise as not holding zero.

It was never specified that a scope that failed was being sold. I also never said I sold one.

Be specific, words have meaning. Make vague, self-righteous statements that explicitly say anyone who sold it lacks integrity like the one I was replying to and I will assume you are man enough to say what you mean and mean what you say. There were no caveats in what I replied to.

It is a pathetic sign of dishonesty to assume others are dishonest just because. Prudence is verifying when it directly effects you, but that is not what is being discussed here.

Its hard to take you seriously when you dont even understand the multiple ways a scope can fail / be bad.

Please Enlighten me.

A tight group is from the ammo/barrel. The scope will be for viewing. Even if it shifts, that group should remain.


Unless it shifts multiple moa after each trigger pull.

Reality is, never take me seriously.

Unless I preface it with…seriously

I don’t let anything pass me without trying to make it a joke. I mean, a cult is what it is. A cult.

I would say the value of used leupolds has tanked. It seems like they go for about 50-60% of new. Swfas go for about 150% of new.

First off I doubt there’s many higher end leupolds selling for half off. Secondly supply and demand, if it’s hard to even find a new one, the used ones will obviously sell higher

Like I said earlier, its called a wandering zero, look it up if you need to. And binos and spotting scopes are for viewing, a scope is an aiming device.

False, I use my scope all the time to view things instead of binos. I would've never realized how many people were out in the woods if I didn't do that.

*this is satire. (If you don't know what satire is, lord help you for being a easy prey to bully online)

Like Bmart said.
A scope is an aiming device. Not a spotting device.
Think of it this way.
Every time recoil hits the scope the crosshairs move a little making the group bigger.
Then you airm with the crosshairs that are in a different place then they were last shot realitive to the bore.
This can be observed in the maven drop tests. Upon repeated 36" drops then a shot the size of the group will get bigger but the group remains zeroed. So if you drop the gun 3 times and shoot and then 3 times and shoot until you have shot 10 shots the group will be larger then if you just shoot 10 shots.

I can beat on something with my rifle, that doesnt make it a hammer....oops I jumped the gun and replied before I rasd the satire part, my bad

So…viewing your target is only for Binos and spotters? Hmmmm…pretty sure when I look in my scope I see a target…

Because I’ve used my Binos or naked eye to identify the object before hand.

You must hang out with Form. Cult. Viewing. Etc…

 

[Yukon Cornelius]

now…what if a leupold is mounted on a tikka. Does the tikka’s perfection cancel out the leupold’s discrepancies?

Asking for us not cult memebers.

Careful bringing up empirical evidence based on carefully constricted testing. That’s cult behavior

You’ve got to be just trolling at this point…

Oh no...now the Form cult is really going to get upset. Now you did it.

It’s been a troll nothing 100% serious from the beginning cult comment.

Instead of spending endless hours arguing with Form on here, you anti-Form cult members could put your heads together and construct your own tests, proving the Form cult completely wrong once and for all. Then you’d be able to contribute something useful to this forum. Everybody wins!
