I didn't say you offered a free scope. Instead you offered to send a test scope--which is what most scope companies do. I can then either return them, or pay for 'em.
Have tested Maven optics, and they're very good. So are a bunch of others.
As I am not a scope company I would not have offered to send you a scope, for testing or otherwise. I might have offered to demo a rifle setup.
Anyway, I am still interested in the scopes you have found to be better than Leupold for modern rifles and why those scopes are better.
The 24hr Campfire is a good place to learn new things.

I have all the sources. They can't stop the signal.

You offered to send me a "Greybull" scope to test, which was evidently a Leupold-made scope.
The LOW-manufactured dialing scopes I've used with great results over years of twirling them up and down have included Bushnell Elites, Nightforces, Tract Torics and Weaver Super Slams. There are probably some more I can't remember offhand.

Well I still have a few of those scopes if you want to see a demo of how well they still work after many years and much dialing.
We could compare those at Long Range to your LOW scopes of recent vintage. The ones that work better on modern rifles. It would be fun.
Let me know.

It's a FANTASY World,in which gals believe all wares are "equal",or even fhuqking close. Hint.
Bless your heart.

Had my new 'Rat Rod' Benchrest gun out for a shakedown a couple weeks ago. Even with the switchy 11:00-1:00 13-15 mph winds, the mechanically solid scope let the gun live up to it's potential @ 100 yds. No insects were harmed during the testing. Scope brand withheld to protect the innocent.

Great shooting Al. Probably not a Reupold here either. Hint.

One cannot help but notice the orange dead blow hammer Al used to use for fine adjustment back in his Leupold days. Snork.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
HILARIOUSLY,everyone who has actually shot,has played Reupold Tag with their erector and chasing POA/POI intersections. Hint.
Zero Retention,Return To Zero and Unerring Tracking ARE soothing. Multiple hundreds of Mil's of travel induced here,with return to zero and lastly tracking...THE Mechanical Trifecta. Reupold can't/won't/don't,which are simplistic Facts. Hint.
