Many of us, who have used Leupold riflescopes for many years, with great success, may have a different opinion, based upon actual field experience.........

Actual field experience, and more than a little, is what pushed me almost entirely away from Leupold.

My hunting rifles (the same ones that get used for elk, sheep, WT, MD, moose, bear, etc) wear SS 3-9x, SS 6x, SS 10x, and LRHS 3-12x scopes.

I still have a couple of Leups around, one is a M7 4x on a Win 88 .308, but they don’t ride on my serious hunting rifles anymore.
