I’m like you, I still have a bunch of leupolds but when I go sit in a deer blind or walk for bushy tails they aren’t much of a problem. If I’m traveling any amount of time to hunt then a proven scope is going with me. I used a SHV on my sheep hunt that turned into a grizz hunt last year. 5 years ago I’d of taken a leupold and prob been ok. I didn’t take any falls or slips that I can remember but now I totally subscribe to what form is putting down. I’ve seen scopes lose zero but form just showed us how easy it is and widespread. My next scopes are all Trijicon or NF.Am curious how many Rokslide members actually have removed all of their "questionable reliability" scopes from all of their firearms and have placed orders for "full confidence" scopes to replace them all.
I know that on my side I'd be parting ways with $10K-$30K depending on which scope model(s) I went with for each firearm. That's a tough pill to swallow and I'll unlikely replace all of them with the "full confidence" scopes; a few will be over a period of time. If I miss that Boone & Crockett squirrel or cottontail due to a faulty scope, then I'll just have to suck it up and cry a river.
But for "net new" builds, I will be going the "full confidence" route.
