CC,

The only scope I care for from Leupo is the 6x42. Otherwise I'm not interested in their products.

I drive by their facility almost everyday. Been there numerous times with scopes and binos for myself and friends. I'm about to chuck my son's Leupo binos in the river... I'm tired of taking them back. A few friends have given up on the Leupold variables due to failures to hold zero (all older VXII 3-9x40).

There's a few good guys at Leupo and a couple of jackasses I've dealt with. But, if something is busted or not getting love, I've learned who to contact after going there enough timesgrin If he left, I'd not have nearly as much confidence in them fixing things. I had two 6x42 scopes that took 4 trips each to get fixed.

Still, I love the FX3 as it is forgiving and easy to use. And has taken a beating on heavy kicking rifles and from me dropping them in rugged terrain.
