John,
Have you come upon any comparable (to Leupold at whatever price range) optics that you'd consider pretty much crap, based on your use/testing? In your opinion, do they rule their roosts, or just one of many good options?
I don't have much experience with "bad scopes". I have good rifles and have been pinning the mounts to the reciever for more than 2 decades. I think a lot of scope failures are really mounting failures.
The scopes I use the most are durable 2nd Focal Plane for hunting and Leupold offers really good solutions at moderate weight.
Lots of good options these days.
