Impressively bad fail. Ryan shouldn't expect any free drinks from the Leupold reps at SHOT show this year.

So with the four Leupolds that you just posted, not one of them adjusted correctly. These are not even scopes.

As has been stated and shown for years. Thing is, 40 years ago they made a model of scope that to this day is one of the most reliable aiming devices ever made.

You mean it’s not impressive that cheap $400 Chinese scopes are better at adjusting, tracking, RTZ, and holding zero than Leupold’s premier hunting scopes?
