POS Leuplold…

They seem to be great if you don’t travel, dial the turrets, or use the rifle it’s on

Does this count as traveling or dialing?

I don’t see 13 other rifles piled on top in the back seat with a bunch of other crap on it. Quit babying it and really test it

Well all the rifles are standing up inside my bathroom door in the boat picture. They are in there somewhere under all the crap.

Ok maybe that counts.

Seems like the leupy guys feel targeted by the people that have had problems with them. I know of at least 1 that has held zero, so I know its possible. In order to show the naysayers, Id love see some leupold scopes zero tracked over time in the zero thread to show that they hold zero. Otherwise Im afraid folks might just pass it off as frequent re-zeroing or not tracking a zero and basing success off of “minute of deer” results.

Scope Zero Check Thread

I got to thinking that a thread for posting zero checks would be awesome. It could end up being a great collection of data/information. I'm thinking everyone posts a target whenever they check zero along with notes about shooting conditions and what the rifle has been through since the last...

It's the same ol' circle jerk every time "Leupold" comes up. The haters say the successful L users don't know what they're doing, got lucky, it's a matter of time, etc. Fact is some people have trouble with them, many use them successfully.

Leupolds are like women, I hear of a few good ones out there, but most of them have some kind of issue, broken, junk.

Old guys have had there’s for years and don’t wanna switch.

I replied not because I am a Leupold guy but rather this form has people selling off stuff that has served them well. I currently run 2 of the new Mavens based on info here on the reticle, I have a Nightforce on my 50 and a Zeiss V6. I don’t know the numbers but no doubt Leupold sells some multiple of other brands so there are more of them out there. A little information can be dangerous. On one of these threads a guy was selling his Leupold because his “PRS” buddies failed to hold zero by .3 and .4. What he did not get is right in his argument his PRS buddy was checking in high winds. A friend that was using one of my Alaska rifles last month with a VX5 had a success hunt and was sold on them. He told me he was going to get one because his scope at home had “failed.” I said slow down and check a few things. When he got back to Texas he sent a video of him able to wobble his rail with very little force. I just think shear numbers and our general lack of understanding sometimes leads us to improper conclusions.
