“I've only had a coupla hundred Reupold“
“All reupolds have puked.”
At an average cost of $400 per, that $80,000.
At what point did a smart guy like you decide Leupold are crap? Scope number 199? After you had spent $72,000, you said, “Damn, there may be a problem with these scopes, but hell, I’ll throw another $8,000 at them to give em a fair shot.

A trend is more than (2)...and I'll cite that the only Leupie I've ever puked by shooting,was a 1" 16x A/O.
If only for starters.................

If one bought a scope a month, it would take 17 years to reach 200.
Strange learning curve.

I know I’d be a customer again if they made some no frills 2-7, 3-9, 4x fixed, 6x fixed, No frills, capped turrets, repeatable POI adjustments, excellent at dusk and dawn. No 4 reticle , duplex, or firedot. $299-$599 msrp. Don’t care if it’s built in Japan or here Leupold is working hard on the new line just for brain donors like you. The new Leupold VariLowIQ line The VariLowIQ 4X is perfect for you 🤣 LOL !!!! You two couldn’t get laid in Vegas with fistfuls of 100’s! Oh come on. You gotta admit that was funny.

LOL. Riar Rarry is in so deep it's over his ankles and up to his ears. HINT.
Funny how copy and paste is so glamourous till it turns against you. LOL.
Smashing a spotting scope with a rock doesn't really quantify as it "puked" laffin.
The $2000 scope was a good ploy until that story miserably failed.
Can't even lie straight.

Thank you for confirming your lack of intelligence which explains your disapproval of the finest hunting optic ever made. Ever. Keep it up. Can't take it. You have to be kidding.

Bigstick, you probably make some good points about some of the Leupolds in reference to dial turning. It’s just that I find it amusing that to prove the point, you have this need to embellish your point where it becomes preposterous
At what point in your journey of owning 200 Leupolds did it finally become clear to you that they were pieces of [bleep]? 137? 194?

My fav is Kassandra’s 243 shot on an elk. I started my son on a 243 and that’s all he cares to use. He’s killed 7 elk with a 243 and 100gr NPt’s. Whenever I ask him if he wants use a different cartridge for elk hunting his answer is always the same, “why?”.
Whenever somebody tells him a 243 ain’t big enough for elk he whups out the Kassandra video.

Not being married to any particular political party sure makes it a lot easier to look at the world more objectively... Having said that, MAGA.

Johnny NyQuil laying along a road,shooting from a ditch,gunning a mag dry on a Lady Antelope,is VERY "impressive". Hint.
Reupold for Rife. Hint.

HoneyTwat, I reckon Reupold's undoing,coincides with KD/LRF determinations. There was a time when all engaged unknowingly,despite a BEST guess. That ship has sailed and UKD,is seldom an issue. Once KD was THE barometer,extrapolations were/are a breeze. From there,POA/POI was/is simplified and none of which is subjective. Hint. Just sayin'..............

I have ventured away from Leupold more than a few times and have always come back. Like my Tract Torics and VX5HDs and VX6s.

This one is an Instant Classic,for a multitude of reasons,which fly over most heads. I couldn't begin to guess how many tens of thousands of come-up solutions I've dumped into Leupie erectors...less issue.............

I have 2 VX-I's and have never had a problem out of either one. Both are 4-12 power. 1 I have had for about 5 years now. It gets banged around in the woods while hunting, it was even in the truck with me in a rollover accident 2 years ago that totalled the truck. We flipped (reportedly from witnesses) 5 - 6 times at 70 mph and Guess what, not a thing wrong with the scope and it was still zeroed and has not lost zero yet. I buy Leupold whenever my wallet allows me to. I might get something cheaper to hold me over until I can get the Leupold, but in my opinion they are the best scope for the money and there is nobody else in the scope business who can even come close to their customer service or warranty.
