Back in my gun buying days, I rarely looked past Leupold. They have all of the features I want and at a price point I could afford. I was looking at my stuff last night and have M8s, VariX-IIs, VariX-IIIs, and VX-IIs. I shoot maybe 5-6 boxes of shells through each rifle a year and am not a spinner, dropper, thrower, or overly hard on equipment. Each of my (3) VX-IIs failed at some point in time which is completely unacceptable. If I were hard on stuff, I'd say I got what I deserved.

I hope Leupold gets things turned around as I really like their scopes. Until then I will look elsewhere.
