I'm at a loss as to why Leupold has failed to increase the reliability of their scopes. Instead they make some model number shell-game changes, and manufacture such oddities as the "pooper-scooper." It's obvious that Madison Avenue advertisers are running the show, not shooters, at Leupold. But, even with that handicap you'd think they would catch a clue and poll hunters and shooters to determine what they want; How to run a business 101.
