Leupolds are fine within their limitations..... the alpha glass is the next level, like it or not.
I am a Leupold user myself and love to hate the damn things. But quality glass with accurate adjustments is the shizzle for precision rifle work. And as hunters we should all strive for precision.
Now if you shoot deer at 300 yds or less you don't need alpha, but it wouldn't hurt. Better is better.
Many here get very provincial with regards to their local hunting environment, Blackheart is the perfect example, he thinks a M94 with open sights is the bomb and if you can't kill deer with it you are an inferior hunter, he doesn't understand western hunting with limited tags etc......
So maybe chill a bit.... read and learn... Dingo has strong opinions based on his experience.... I suspect even an Eastern hunter could benefit from quality gear? no?
