Loaded question, but I think a lot of people moved on a long time ago.
I did in 1998. In the 70's, Leupold was the premium optic, something to be proud of. My last use of a Leupold was in 1998 when I walked out back and compared a Leupold Vari-X II with a Swarovski Habicht, both 3-9X. There was no comparison.
Could be and not a comparison at all for the price difference either. You sorta forgot that point? Mb
