I still buy and use Leupolds. When I can't find a model I'm looking for, I'll try to find a 1980's vintage Redfield or Burris. Most of my rifles are older and have polished, blued steel. I prefer the look of a blued rifle scope on them, rather than the dull, matte finish on 99% of the scores manufactured today. I've never had a problem with a scope of any of these 3 companies.
