Is it all Leopolds

[Yukon Cornelius]

What can we do to pressure you into joining the cult?

Buy me a lightweight scope that is as clear as my leupold.

How is that trashing them? If they are a cult they are a cult. That doesn’t have to be a bad thing.

They ain’t drinking kool-aid to off each other.

They are like vegans and crossfitters.

Ohh, so its a term of endearment?!?!

Read it how you like.

I have nothing against cult members. I don’t have to join their cult. Hell, I invite JWs and Mormons into my home for a cup of tea or coffee.

I dont know why you are even inclding me in this conversation, I am not a member of the "Form" cult

 

[Yukon Cornelius]

I'll take trades

All I have to offer is another leupold. Lol

Really, I don’t like the low end of that scope. I got rid of all my 4-x scopes.

I like me some 2-12 or 2.5-8 range options. 2.5-10 too.

That’s a great question. Probably because I’m a little old and tech and I sometimes get along and sometimes we don’t.


Hmmmm…is that a connection with leupold?

That's funny! May as well ask them if they would like to have shot and join your swingers group!

I have not done that yet.

Hey Wrench, that was a great video you posted. It was worth the hour to watch it. Thanks.

One group: scope X shifted by margin Y at distance Z; possibly with pictures.

Another group: mine and my grandpappy's always work perfectly. Everyone else is a hater.

Group one: my scoped shifted when I dropped it from 3ft it's garbage

Another group my scope functions correctly for my intended use...

I use my gear for how I will use not for what may happen.

Disclaimer I don't own any leupolds.....

Group one: my scoped shifted when I drove to my spot

Another group my scope functions correctly for my intended use and I don't look for problems.

I don't own any either.

I see the drop topic come up often with people saying, "Im careful and dont plan on dropping my gun". Does anyone know anybody, who outside of a test, has purposely dropped their rifle on a hunt?

....

This is the part you’re missing. For a bunch of us, the scope failed during intended use. Drop testing is just a way to replicate the failures many people have seen during regular field use.

These tests didn’t come about because people were bored and didn’t have anything else to do. They were developed BECAUSE people were having issues with certain scopes during intended field use.

dropping your rifle on a hunt it should go with out question to re check zero.and the fact that basic gun saftey easily prevents it. My children are apperantly less clumsy then most on this form.

the guys that preach about drop tested scopes i would bet money on it the 90 percent of there set ups wouldn't pass the drop test

I watched a friend miss a buck and then proceed to huck his rifle in anger as far as he could huck it. Does that count?

Yep, that definitely counts

Basic gun safety prevents you from losing your footing on steep, uneven, icy, wet terrain and falling with your rifle?

You are conveniently ignoring the fact that many of the failures have nothing to do with a rifle being dropped

I don't claim to be a scope testing expert, but my guess is there is more opinion than quality assurance involved.

If that isn't true, I have to wonder why Leupold doesn't do the same tests or very similar. Of course, another option is that Leupold would rather process scopes that need to be repaired through support. That doesn't seem like it makes sense to me due to the cost involved for Leupold. But hey, maybe the people at Leupold aren't very smart .... joking.
