Ah, yes. The famous 20-30% "failure rate" rants. Posted by guys that think that all Leupold scopes are made the same. Nightforce and S&B don't make far cheaper hunting scopes. Scopes that can cheaply converted to quasi tactical scopes. Leupold even makes lines of cheap tactical scopes as well as top quality ones. They also have no idea which scopes are new and which have histories of high use. Funny those of us that shoot and have hunted alot don't see anything like these failure rates.
Leupold's quality dropped off after 2000 ? So, they now make lower quality scopes so they can maintain a large repair department because that is cheaper ? Sure they do.
Nice try Dave. E
