Is it all Leopolds

Jack B why not benefit from the depth of experience here, we have nothing to gain from sharing our findings
My first boss had a really good saying:
“Listen with your ears, not your mouth “

 

[Macintosh]

I must be the only nf fanboy that doest own one bc I think their reticles suck for hunting.

 

[Wrench]

I don't think it sucks.

 

[JohnJohnson]

Ok I will speak plainly. Although I was skeptical since my experience was different, I almost believed it was a legit thread that leupold had issues. When it turned into all brands but nightforce, I realized I had unwittingly fallen into a fanboy thread. My bad.

Not everything said about Leupold/Vortex etc is a personal attack on you.

In general, if you get upset or defensive when anything critical is said about a brand, it's because you have your ego tied to your gear choice.

You're the one who was pointing fingers about it being a user problem. Not a scope problem. All I did was tell you when I landed on Nightforce I stopped having problems. Use what you like. I don't give 2 shits what you shoot.

I actually thought YOU were going to be interesting. But it’s just down to your favorite is the only scope that will track.

You could always send your favorite to Form and have him run it through the drop test and see how it shakes out

Agree. Shoot what you want. That doesn’t mean everything else is junk though. There are plenty of threads about nightforce scope issues, but I don’t think they’re junk and won’t hold zero.

 

[IDVortex]

Wait. So Maven and Trijicon are no longer legit scope manufacturers? It's NF or nothing now? Damn.

Intellectual gymnastics are amusing, and I can't help being bored waiting for the mail man (who is now running late) to deliver a muffler. I lost my self control and came back to this dumpster fire for some warmth and toxic fumes. But, laughing reactions count towards your reaction score, so really I'm helping you out.

I think @Archer86 takes the toxicity prize at the moment.

Yes, all 3 brands that he owns.

I should say, 3 I know he owns. He probably has more.


Heck I still have 2 to sell. Nobody jumped on the offer I made earlier, I might need to bundle them.

It still seems like many people believe their scope didn't fail because they successfully killed an animal. If you killed an animal even though your scope slightly lost zero it still failed.

Like this? Assuming vitals are 18-20", be a roughly 8 MOA target (paper plate zero)

I’m knocking on wood. I’ve yet to have one not hold zero. I’ve had a few vortex break on me. But many of my leupolds are not the newer HD lines (vx6 is of that lineage).

We hunt out of a boat. This moose season we put 400ish miles on our rifle that was bouncing around the whole time in a river skiff. 250yd shot on a nice bull. He went down. She harvested her first. Scope
Didn’t fail.

However, I don’t purchase as confidently as I did. I do read and I do see the reviews.

But I also don’t use eld-m bullets.
