I wanted a little time to digest it. Watched most of it again.

Frankly, I just don't see what was accomplished.

The big question is/was/has been regarding tracking, adjustment, and zero retention. That's what everybody tuned in to see. And I just don't think guys who are having those issues got much satisfaction from Leupold's remarks. Leupold clearly stated that any such issues are not due to their scopes inherently, which is not a wholly surprising position. I got the distinct impression that, except maybe for some part of their 0.2% return rate, they attribute such issues to other external factors, including operator error.

So, again, was that what this whole event was about?

Best thing to come out of the exchange is Leupold's offer to call them if you are having trouble. I would take them up on that.

But what do I know?

"What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated." Thomas Paine
