idahoguy,
The Leupold Alaskans didn't qualify as a fad, since they never sold enough to qualify.
I have a 2-1/2x and a 4x, and they're tough scopes, but they're also:
1)Heavy for their size, due to the steel tubes.
2)Not very bright, due to single-coating.
3)Very limited in adjustment range. Combined with not many 7/8" rings, this caused problems on some rifles. I mounted one on 99 Savage and could actually watch the reticle wander in big half-circle when trying to center it. This is caused by the "pillar" of the adjustment turret being off-center on the erector tube.
4) Friction adjustments.
And none were variables! They were also competing against the original Alaskans still out there. I'm using the term "fad" very loosely in nominating the Leupold Alaskan scopes. I'm a huge fan of them and own six. So I am not impartial. Just my thing, John :-) Plus my personal preference for 1909 Argentine actions. I have two of them
