Meh, Leupold just about can’t win. People have been taught that accurate adjustments are the end and be all of scope reliability and quality. I think Leupold had the correct idea that adjustment accuracy really doesn’t matter much at all in a set and forget scope and was at the very least secondary to lots of other concerns. They lost ground to other scopes that were in many ways inferior in size, weight, eye box, and over all quality but that had better adjustments. Now, they are chasing a market that has passed them by and they can’t please anyone.

Just look at this board. You either have people bitching about Leupold scopes being trash with bad adjustments and unreliable internal components or you have people wishing they would just go back to producing reliable set and forget scopes of modest weight and middling price. No one is happy.
