The Leupold bashing on this site never stops. My take on it is that many of the older scopes are tried in dialing situations for which they were not designed. Granted sighting in a Leupold has typically been an adventure since at least with the older models tracking was a bit imprecise.
The upside is that they are relatively light but that comes at the expense of precise tracking.
There is no free lunch. Just depends on what you prioritize.


I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.
