Jud, I'm going to treat you like a brother, so hold on to your underwear grin My brother came out pretty good, you will too.

Formidolosus is real.

Dead animals have very little correlation to the reliability of a scope.

You don't dial, which is where most of us have problems with Leupold.

Zero retention is another subject. Zero retention on Leupold has failed me numerous times. I doubt that you doubt me on this, as I don't doubt they've they've treated you fine.

I've never had issue with NF and the Bushy LRHS, and they are far from pampered.

Actually the reliability of Lepould scopes is not a mystery. I'll be happy to spend one of our days on the javelina hunt testing scopes, dialing, tracking, return to zero, zero retention. I've done it, I know what is going to happen.
