I’ve got a few dozen Leupold and some Zeiss Conquest. They work great for me. The leupolds are 45 years old to new. I’m mostly a PD shooter, and coyote caller with some informal target shooting and deer hunting. Never had an SWFA so was not aware they were the holy grail.
I would be willing to bet, 80% + of "hunters" have never heard of swfa......
I bet 80% of turret twisters have busted a Leupold....
All depends on what a guy is after. I busted about 8 mark4’s. Fûckn hate them will never own another one that will make the field. The old friction adjustment VX line is pretty good for a set and forget guy.
