Then explain why 95%+ of scopes tested fail.
I think it's because consumers have demanded great glass and have never thought twice about if the optic actually holds zero.

Agreed. Certain folks like parroting the same questions, unable to believe their trusty Leupold’s suck.Lots of threads are Fudd traps. This is also a troll trap.
Too bad the Big Stick YouTube rifle hucking video has gone AWOL. It would fit right in with this wonky thread. If nothing else but for the entertainment![]()
Well, @redneckbmxer24 is trying to dump a bunch of Leupold optics in the classifieds, so I think he’s just trying to preserve value.The question I keep coming back to is are these guys fanboys or company shills?

That was awesome. I’d love to hear his take on this thread lol
Don’t forget part 2!
Neither. It's always guys with their heads buried in the sand who don't ever really go out and actually use their equipment (despite claiming otherwise). Or it's guys who do use their gear and can't swallow their pride and accept what works and what doesn't (used to be me).The question I keep coming back to is are these guys fanboys or company shills?
This was me, too. I just had to justify why my $1000 scope worked when it actually didn’t.Or it's guys who do use their gear and can't swallow their pride and accept what works and what doesn't (used to be me).
Same. I bought a Swaro because my cousin had one and I assumed he knew better than me. One of so many instances in which I learn later that I don't know as much as I think I do.This was me, too. I just had to justify why my $1000 scope worked when it actually didn’t.
Drama queens need to come to grips with the fact that when you actually use your gear in the field, you know what works in spite of what the internet says. That's why I can say that at least 3 different 1" Swaro scopes sucked, got fixed, and sold.Same. I bought a Swaro because my cousin had one and I assumed he knew better than me.

I’m a bit confused by this post. So you acknowledge that Swaro scopes can’t hold zero based on your experience… but you argue against the folks who are saying from experience (and evidenced by drop test) that Leupold’s don’t hold zero?Drama queens need to come to grips with the fact that when you actually use your gear in the field, you know what works in spite of what the internet says.

Even before that: fire one 10 shot group, take your rifle on a bumpy ride, and see what shot #11 does.Swallow some pride and give the scopes that “pass” a try.
The funny thing is when you read the thread without any real "dog in the fight" it comes across as being true on both sides.The question I keep coming back to is are these guys fanboys or company shills?
I was also confused. But I guess some experiences are more valuable than others'.I’m a bit confused by this post.

And how many actually shoot enough and are good enough that you can actually hang your hat on the results of that one single 11th shot???and see what shot #11 does
