When did leupold go down hill?

I think everything works up to the point it doesn’t work anymore haha. Every light switch has so many flips, tires only got so many rotations.

My Leupold vx3 has been good to me. But I’m not dropping it to test it, I’m not dragging it behind a truck. It doesn’t ride on my rifle in the racks on my atv, but that hasn’t done anything bad to it.

Are there more durable, sure I bet there are. For the price I get Leupold for I don’t think I can beat it,

I am trying a Trijicon 1-4x/33 on my 30-30 so we’ll see how I like that

That’s wild.

That’s wild.

It’s wild to me that you’ve never zeroed a Leupold before the season, hunted it, checked it mid season or the following year before the season, and then had to make adjustments because “must have bumped it somewhere”….
And then it is ‘3 clicks over, tap tap tap tap, shoot one, nope, 2 more clicks tap tap tap tap’, oops, too far….’

Back to post 27 hits it on the nose. How many of you mount without torquing ring screws correctly to manufacturers recommend setting. You can’t make scopes lighter without making tubes thinner and a new scope can be ruined before being fired. How many guys don’t check and over tighten then blame problem on scope. I’m not defending Leupold or any other scope just saying to mount them right

The manufacturer doesn’t recommend enough tightness to hold the scope tight. Nor do the ring manufacturers. They are more concerned with people complaining about marks on the scope tube than with holding it tight.

If you can crush a scope tube tightening it enough to hold it, then that’s not a scope worth looking at.

Define irony… it slips or it binds… both cases it can potentially lose zero under impact, or shaking

Not an issue with NF and a few others, why?
