I could live happily with Weaver Classic and Meopta optics...of course I've been considering a couple VX-Freedom 3-9x40 Duplex scopes a couple 270's in the safe. Adjustments were supposed to be more robust on them and I don't do the twist anyway.

I had an old Weaver K6 that took a beating for about 10 years... it rode a lot of different rifles, and I never remember it losing zero or being tough to sight in. Eventually I graduated to a 6.5x20 Leupold Vari-X III... that scope ran pretty well... but I did have to “check the zero” pretty frequently.
For a set and forget.... I could live a long happy hunting career with a K6, or a Weaver Classic 3-9.
For a hunting scope I want to dial... SWFA 3-9 or a NF NXS 2-10 or even SHV 3-10.
You better pray to the God of Skinny Punks that this wind doesn't pick up......

The combined rounds fired per year of these posters combined other than Dog prolly amount to under 200. And the average age cannot be much less ...
Leupold circle jerks are an impressive specimen...

That's wonderful GregW and Judman, but I asked, "Now that the majority of posters in this section has condemned Leupold scopes and their progeny, what will you use in the future?" Can you answer the question?

Can you answer the question? Do you read the Leupold threads at all? It's the same stuff rehashed. SWFA, NF, Bushy LRHS, Meopta and a few others....

Can you answer the question? Nightforce... NF has a strong following. Do you think that this tempest in a teapot at 24hr will see sales of other scopes increase? I did a search and some of the Leupold threads show up on the Google.I entered - Leupold scopes bad? Of course, you can find anything on the Internets, but I can't help thinking that an accumulation of so-so reviews can affect any company's bottom line.

...Let's chat about the same documented chit for the 100th time. Actually, this is not about the problems that Leupold is having. The question was, "Now that the majority of posters in this section has condemned Leupold scopes and their progeny, what will you use in the future?" Your answer is probably, "I will not be changing. I will continue to use Leupold." See?

Actually, no. I started the thread. I asked, "Now that the majority of posters in this section has condemned Leupold scopes and their progeny, what will you use in the future?"
See?
You're a hater. Time for you to take a nap.

The question has been answered 100 times ...
I don't take naps. Too much stuff to get done.
I'm not a hater of anything. Stuff works and is reliable or it's not. I'm the least materialistic guy I know. No drama involved at all for me.
