I guess I'm still a Leupy guy cause I own way more Leupys than anything else but it probably has a lot to do with the inability of the newer Leupolds to track. I'm a set it and forget it guy; I have to hunt to find a place to shoot over 200 yards with most shots 100 or less. However, the last three new Leupold scopes I bought (2 - 3-9x40 VX2 and 1 - 2.5-8x36 VX3i) have random, non repeatable movements while sighting in. If, during sight in, I'm 2" left and 1.5" low and I move 6 clicks up and 8 clicks right, my new POI may be 2" high and 2" right. Usually wind up going 50% of what I need to move reticle to get sighted in and it's still a crap shoot. I actually remember thinking in the 90s "if only the friction adjustment Vari-x II had clicks"!! They at least tracked for me when they were friction adjustments. Honestly, I'm going to look hard at another brand for the next new scope I buy.
