John55:
I'm with you there. I still have quite a few Leupolds in service that I don't plan to change. Especially on gloss finished rigs, a lot of them levers.
I thought maybe the old friction adjusters were a little better, but I just had a 2-7 compact on a 358 BLR go TU a couple weeks ago. Had been good for roughly 500 shots on that platform, close as I can figure. Then, as per usual, groups opened up and up. Scope is likely 1993 or so. It is gloss; it fit and served the little BLR well for a long time. Curious to see if they'll actually repair it. Not really much for 1" gloss options these days. There are a lot of great LVPO options, but none that will look that great on the svelt, steel receiver BLR. If they replace instead of fix, I likely look for a gloss used Japan Weaver 1-3 or perhaps a used straight tube Bushnell of some flavor.
