The New Leupold Mark 4HD?

Yeah I was meaning Swaro binos and spotters optically perform well below their current price point.

I wish that were true. I agree when you get to a certain performance point that small improvements cost a lot more, it’s not a fluid value for performance. Find me some binos that perform like NL but priced like vortex, I would prefer light and robust too. You do that, and I will show you some badass pack unicorns.

Exactly. I feel like once you get past that $1000 price point give or take you’re paying increasingly more for marginal improvements. I use all maven glas right now because the improvement to ELs or pures arnt worth not being able to buy other things. I sure as hell will have Pures when I have everything else I need/want

While I won't argue that some leupolds may work plenty good, and the general user will probably never notice any issues, I don't think use in PRS competition is a good indicator for durability. Meaning I don't think you can compare a 20 lb 6mm that is babied and zero checked before every competition, or even better carried around in a cart, to a 7lb high recoiling hunting rig that bounces around in an ATV. The other extremely popular scope in PRS is the vortex razors, think that is because they are so durable?

BWAHAHAHAHAHA - LMAO

It was just meant to be illustrative of my point, not literal. The point was that everyone defends their purchase, right or wrong, because we have lots tied up in our purchases and it affects our ability to be objective when things like this thread about Leupolds happen. Sorry for the confusion and thread derailment.

For sure, like when someone is in the market asking what’s the best “******” and everyone answers with whatever they have.

If something is expensive and sucks, the owner of such products will still claim greatness.

I gauge products by “am I still casually shopping for this even though I have it”? If I’m still researching the competition, I probably don’t have the best.

It’s human nature I assume.
