It WILL be fhuqking funny! Hint. Then give 'er a nice toss,whistle 500 MOA through the erector and take it to 900yds on the fly. Hint. I'm always torn on which is fhuqking FUNNIER,the Silence or the Excuses. Hint. Just sayin'...............

If that's a good fit, then the tracking will almost always be good as well. And while there can be design issues with the joint(s), that fit is primarily influenced by the care taken when the scope is assembled and the mfgs. Q.C. process after it's assembled.

Scope brand withheld to protect the innocent. One cannot help but notice the orange dead blow hammer Al used to use for fine adjustment back in his Leupold days. Snork. I believe that's a Sightron pictured.

Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

I don't like Leupolds......Shoots alot.. dave I suspect that I shoot a lot compared to most here on the fire. I have had to send a few in. But all in all I think their scopes are pretty good. I feel sorry for those who don’t think so. Many of the Leupolds I own are M8’s and older variables. I only have a few newer variables and they’re mounted on varmint rifles or one’s I don’t shoot as often. I don’t like variables and when I get the chance I’ll buy a fix power and sell a variable. I would guess that close to 9 out of 10 are fixed power. Last edited by Bugger; 03/14/24. I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare.

Not exactly. I still have some Leupolds that continue to be dead solid reliable. In fact, my first IBS Hunter National Championship came with a Premier tweaked 6X on the gun. And this 45X has been like a tank since it came out of the box: Being results oriented, that's what I care about . The brand name is secondary. Of course, some like to spin that with their version of sound bite (print bite) journalism to try and make some sort of case for being anti Leupold. The red hammer is for seating the the carbide points on the front two adjusters into the bench top. Forbidden Zoner

Alwine captured the Open Light Division title at the first-ever Sheep Mountain Shootout, which was hosted by Gunwerks in Cody, Wyo. The simulated event consisted of 18 stages, with average target distances of 400 yards and shots out to 1,000 yards. Steep angles and tricky wind calls made the course a complex shoot. Gadarzi, meanwhile, took home first place in the PRS Lead Farm Barrel Burner 2.0 match, held in Prosser, Wash. The Lead Farm event featured targets ranging from 100 to 1,500 yards, and challenged participants to shoot from prone positions, off barricades/props, from vehicles, and from trailers. Both shooters use the Leupold Mark 5HD with the PR2-MIL reticle in competition. Winners use Leupold.

I don’t think this is correct. If it was, the scope would have to have accurate click values, hold zero and return to zero flawlessly I’ve learned from the experts here that the Mark 5HD sucks 🤣 Originally Posted by Bristoe The people wringing their hands over Trump's rhetoric don't know what time it is in America.

It's long and dry so I will spare everyone the boring parts. The conclusion was that those with shit rifles and shitty shooting skills were much more likely to think Leupold will not survive. Basically a 99% correlation over a very large sample size. Originally Posted by 24hr Campfire skilled shooters with good rifles John Burns I have all the sources. They can't stop the signal.
