Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Another Leupold Failure

BobinNH... this is your time!

You haven't looked very hard. It's been discussed numerous times here and in other forums. Dave Petzal said (FWIW) that the Elite was one of the toughest scopes he'd ever seen.

This is another reason why it is difficult for someone to sell a used high dollar scope in a limited market through the classifieds at a near new asking price. A person in the market for such a scope is more than likely willing to pay a few dollars more to get a new scope sealed in the box to guarantee that the previous owner did not improperly install the scope and wrench it out of wack. Buyers tend to gamble on an unknown scope only when the price is marked down well below cost.

I'm starting to think that very few actually know how to properly mount a scope:(

Best:)

he is a very knowledgable and skilled gun enthusiast who is quite willing to help those who ask.

Jim what are you 62 years old? You must have led a long and bitter life or just recently gone through a bad divorce or something. I cannot possibly think of why anyone could come across in the course of a normal conversation as analistic as you are without just cause. Or perhaps you fancy yourself a bully? Well keep up the angry attacking postings in regards to any opinion that is contrary to what you accept as truth and I am sure you will go the same way that oldman1942 did.

The optics forum and ask the gunwriters are the favorites for the name calling and product, political or personal bashing.

I have noticed in the past few days that Rick is injecting some new topics for discussion and they are welcome.

A good buddy who posts here once said(and I agree!)that when he hunts, he never worries about having enough gun,or the right caliber...or bullet.The only thing on his mind is...."Is this [bleep]' rifle still sighted in.....????"

No, he's not as knowledgeable as you may think and so far the only skill he has shown is how to be a total azz.

The man is an obnoxious moron, an old crank who hates life and anyone who dis-agrees with him. We can do without the POS.

Jeff I hate all scopes not really but you get my point!

Jim there you go again, flying off the handle if someone does not agree with you. I made no snide remark only that I have owned a rifle or two. In addition one might think that some simple fabrication modification could place a scope ring a bit further forward. You on the other hand are building quite a reputation here as a hot head that fly's off the handle at folks that don't see things quite the way that you do. Just keep doing what your doing and perhaps after awhile we will just have to learn to live without the benefit of your keen firearms wisdom.

Nope, not flying off the handle..

I just take a snide, smart assed insult for what it is. Make of it what you will, I don't care. Your opinion of me really is something I could care less about.

If you want to appologize for accidentally offending me, then I would be glad to recprocate. Otherwise, stow the backpeddling.

I'm going bear hunting tonight with a rifle that wears a Leupold scope. Damn, now I'm going to be worried.... (insert middle finger smilie)
