Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Terry Cross on Leupold...

Thanks for the post. I fall into the category of the 1% that shoot & hunt a lot & subject optics to severe duty. I use many Leupolds & over the years have had 3 fail. Two were used & abused a lot & one failure cost me a trophy. One 6X was received with a broken reticle. I have no qualms about using Leupold scopes but also have a number of Conquest & one Swarovski. Leupold is definitely being affected by competition & certainly receives a lot of business based upon past reputation. I'm not an expert so I can't say Leupold now builds scopes as good as years ago. It is apparent Leupold feels the wolves at their heels. Only time will show if Leupold chooses to react with new technical improvements & more aggressive marketing including competitive pricing.
