Is it all Leopolds

[Jfjfrye]

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

The “ol leupold TAP”

Very easy way to find out. Will take about 2 minutes at a 100 yard range…

But that would require having to actually go shoot instead of running fingers on the forum thread ….hmmmm

Why go thru the time and wasted ammo at a range when you can track your scope on a Bushnell Pro bore sighter and watch the reticle tracking on the grid as you dial it whatever way you want. The graduated grid is in 4"@100yd segments. In addition, once the rifle is sighted in you take note of where the reticle is on the grid and you can check your zero when and where you choose. When I go on a hunting trip it goes with me. Gee whiz guys, why does it have to seem so hard when it can be so simple with the proper tools.

John B. You posted because you have an experience or an opinion. Many folks choose to judge one way or the other and it makes this forum poorer. I appreciate what you said.

Y'all know it's okay not to punch a tag, right?

Thanks for sharing. Complicated. That’s what he says. And I’ll agree.

Castle Rock.....Nightforce scopes are made in America, in Orofino, Idaho. The glass is imported from Japan. Most scope and bino manufacturers do not make their own glass. Top tier glass is a highly specialized process. So no, they are not made or assembled in Japan/Asia. SWFA and Vortex etc are. That was my point.

Which Nightforce do you have that is made in the USA, mine are made in Japan

Thanks. Do you mind pointing to the part of the video that's of the most interest? Even at 2x speed, I'm too impatient to watch the whole thing.

As long as you buy something that isn’t Leupold, it will be fine.

About the first 5 minutes and the last 5 minutes. Basically he says he knew something wasn’t right, swapped scopes and everything went back to where it was. Failed Kahles scope.

Was the failure big enough to miss game with? Maybe not depending on distance but in this case group size and point of impact varied noticeably between the two scopes.

I just went on a horeseback elk hunt where I rode over a 100 miles in 8 days. Leupold VX5. Lots of banging around all week going up and down the mountain. Got home and checked my gun. It was dead on.

Pictures or it didn’t happen. Will also need detailed pictures of said rifle to verify if it has been used and abused enough to satisfy the requirements.

Thanks. I watched about the first 12 minutes and last 10. For those who are hesitant to watch, the video has nothing to do with Leupold. The guy also pointed out that his trusted Kahles failed, and there is nothing about dropping it, falling, or riding in a truck, etc.

and there is nothing about dropping it, falling, or riding in a truck, etc.

Many benchrest scopes mounted on babied BR rifles have suffered the same fate. Just the simple act of shooting and transporting has produced many failures over the years.
