Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics What happened to Leupold?

Good stuff, and I'll take your word for it on the "small eggs".........There are also many stories about tough Leupold scopes that aren't being told. A couple of years ago one of my PA buddies was hunting mule deer with me. His 7STW wears a 3.5-10 VX3 CDS sending Barnes TTX's at warp speed. I had killed a buck and we were using my Polaris Ranger to hang it up on one of the feed bin rails. To make a long story short, when I was finished I made a quick turn and gassed it a bit at the same time. HIs rifle was just leaning on the front seat/floorboard and when I made that move it did a little dance across the caliche "road". We all thought "ah ohhhhhhh". Headed to the pit and it hadn't budged, I was shocked because it took a really nice tumble.

I'll also say this......My 2-12x VX6 has made 3 trips to Africa. It has survived the baggage handling dumbos each and evey time....has not wiggled. Meanwhile my brand new (at that time) Americase gun case looked like a tribe of pitbulls drug it through the streets of J'burg.
