Those crappy Leupold.... Go take a look up and down the line shooting metallic silhouette. A game where in match and practice you shoot quite a lot (especially small bore) and scopes are adjusted many times every match and stability and return to zero and precise adjustments matter a lot. You will find Leupold outnumbers all the other scopes combined. Accuracy/repeatability/stability/weight are the reasons.
Are they perfect? Nope. Are they all I own? Nope. Are still a great value and reliable? Yep. YMMVMD
Thanks for illustrating what I have noticed myself. The rest of the world doesn’t know how crappy the Leupold scope is and they continue to use them and have great success. The Campfire can be crippling if you let it. I don’t believe in the Easter Bunny or fast twist either...
