And holy chit 30% of the people posting in the optics forum here are having 75% and higher Leupold failure rates. Wow, what a weird anomaly. And at the one website were trolls and paid shills aren't weeded out by a moderator. Odd coincidence Huh?
I'm not sure anyone here has financial motivation to criticize Leupold, but I do know that there are those that benefit financially by promoting the brand.
Myself and others have no incentive to use one brand over another, and simply report what we have experienced. Decisions are made based on observations and what are deemed to be credible reports.
